Subject: [PATCH] atm: fix skb leak in sigd_send() on a closing listen socket
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:38:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611163805.2151734-2-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)

In the as_indicate path, sigd_send() pins the listening socket with
find_get_vcc() and queues the skb on its receive queue under lock_sock().
It does not check whether the socket is being torn down. If the listener
is closed concurrently, vcc_destroy_socket() purges the receive queue
once under lock_sock() and removes the socket from vcc_hash; the final
free goes __sk_destruct() -> vcc_sock_destruct(), which does not purge.
A skb queued after that purge is therefore leaked.

Recheck ATM_VF_CLOSE under lock_sock() before queuing and drop the skb if
the socket is closing. ATM_VF_CLOSE is set by vcc_destroy_socket() under
the same lock, so the check is serialised against the purge.

Reaching this requires an attached signalling daemon (CAP_NET_ADMIN and
CAP_SYS_RAWIO), as only the daemon emits as_indicate.
