Subject: [PATCH net 18/19] can: isotp: fix use-after-free race with concurrent NETDEV_UNREGISTER
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 17:47:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716155528.809908-19-mkl@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260716155528.809908-1-mkl@pengutronix.de>
From: Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@hartkopp.net>
isotp_release() looked up the bound network device via dev_get_by_index()
using the stored ifindex. During device unregistration the device is
unlisted from the ifindex hash before the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier
chain runs, so a concurrent isotp_release() could find no device, skip
can_rx_unregister() entirely, and still proceed to free the socket.
Since isotp_release() had already removed itself from the isotp
notifier list at that point, isotp_notify() would never get a chance to
clean up either, leaving a stale CAN filter that keeps pointing at the
freed socket.
Fix this the same way raw.c already does: hold a tracked reference to
the bound net_device in the socket (so->dev/so->dev_tracker) from
bind() onward instead of re-resolving it from the ifindex, and
serialize bind()/release() with rtnl_lock() so that so->dev is always
consistent with what the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier sees. so->dev
stays valid regardless of ifindex-hash unlisting, and is only ever
cleared by whichever of isotp_release()/isotp_notify() gets there
first, so the filter is always removed exactly once.
isotp_bind() now rejects a (re)bind with -EAGAIN while so->[tx|rx].state
isn't ISOTP_IDLE yet, so a timer left running by a prior
NETDEV_UNREGISTER can't act on a newly bound so->ifindex. Both checks
share the same lock_sock() section, so there is no window in which a
concurrent isotp_notify() clearing so->bound could be missed.
