Subject: [PATCH] bpf, sockmap: Fix cork use-after-free in tcp_bpf_sendmsg()
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:16:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260719161630.2901208-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)

tcp_bpf_sendmsg() keeps msg_tx across sk_stream_wait_memory(), which
drops and reacquires the socket lock.  Its error path tries to decide
whether msg_tx names the local temporary message by comparing it with
the current value of psock->cork.

This comparison is unsafe when two threads send on the same socket:

  Thread A                         Thread B
  msg_tx = psock->cork
  sk_msg_alloc() fails
  sk_stream_wait_memory()
    releases the socket lock      acquires the socket lock
                                  completes the cork
                                  psock->cork = NULL
                                  frees the cork
    reacquires the socket lock
  msg_tx != psock->cork
  sk_msg_free(msg_tx)

The stale cork is therefore mistaken for the local temporary message
and freed again.  KASAN reported:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sk_msg_free+0x49/0x50
  Read of size 4 at addr ffff88810c908800 by task poc/90

   kfree+0x131/0x3c0
   tcp_bpf_sendmsg+0xec3/0x1cc0

msg_tx can only name the stack-local tmp or the shared cork.  Test for
tmp directly so a changed psock->cork cannot turn a shared message into
an apparent local one.
