Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_sk_storage_clone and diag paths
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:14:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420161432.3919396-2-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() sets SDATA(selem)->smap to NULL before
removing the selem from the storage hlist. A concurrent RCU reader in
bpf_sk_storage_clone() can observe the selem still on the list with
smap already NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc000000000a:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000050-0x0000000000000057]
RIP: 0010:bpf_sk_storage_clone+0x1cd/0xaa0 net/core/bpf_sk_storage.c:174
Call Trace:
<IRQ>
sk_clone+0xfed/0x1980 net/core/sock.c:2591

While at it, also add NULL checks in bpf_sk_storage_diag_put_all() and
diag_get() which have the same unprotected dereference pattern and could
theoretically hit the same race during an inet_diag dump.
Fixes: 5d800f87d0a5 ("bpf: Support lockless unlink when freeing map or local storage")
