Subject: [PATCH net] net: atm: fix use-after-free in sigd_put_skb()
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 09:49:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604164916.2681964-2-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
sigd_put_skb() delivers a signalling message to the daemon socket named
by the global @sigd pointer, ending in a call to sk_data_ready(). It
reads @sigd with no synchronisation, so it can race with a close of the
daemon socket: sigd_close() clears @sigd and the socket is then torn
down and freed.
Holding a reference on the socket is not enough to make this safe. The
daemon fd close runs __sock_release(), which frees the struct socket --
and the wait queue that sk->sk_wq points at -- via iput() once
->release() has returned. sk_data_ready() (sock_def_readable()) then
dereferences a freed sk_wq:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000031: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000188-0x000000000000018f]
RIP: 0010:sigd_put_skb (net/atm/signaling.c:65)
sigd_enq2 (net/atm/signaling.c:228)
sigd_enq (net/atm/signaling.c:237)
svc_bind (net/atm/svc.c:135)
__sys_bind
__x64_sys_bind
do_syscall_64
Fix it on both sides. sigd_close() now calls sock_orphan(), which under
sk_callback_lock sets SOCK_DEAD and clears sk_wq before the socket is
freed. sigd_put_skb() latches @sigd with READ_ONCE(), pins the socket
with find_get_vcc(), and then takes sk_callback_lock; if the socket is
already SOCK_DEAD it drops the skb, otherwise it delivers while the lock
keeps sk_wq valid. sk_callback_lock is used rather than lock_sock()
because sigd_put_skb() can be reached from vcc_sendmsg() -> sigd_send(),
which already holds lock_sock() on the daemon socket.
Triggering the race requires CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_RAWIO to attach
the daemon.
