From: Jun Yang <junvyyang@tencent.com>
sctp_ulpevent_set_owner() stashes the receiving socket on the GSO "cover
letter" skb as a bare pointer (net/sctp/ulpevent.c:90):
if (chunk && chunk->head_skb && !chunk->head_skb->sk)
chunk->head_skb->sk = asoc->base.sk;
That store takes no reference and installs no destructor, unlike the
sctp_skb_set_owner_r() applied to the event skb just above it.
When an association is moved to another socket -- SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF, or
accept() on a TCP-style socket -- sctp_sock_migrate() re-owns the queued
skbs with sctp_skb_set_owner_r_frag(). That walks the receive, lobby and
reassembly queues, but chunk->head_skb is on none of them: it is reachable
only through event->chunk->head_skb. Its ->sk therefore keeps pointing at
the original socket. Once that socket is closed and freed, the dangling
pointer is dereferenced on the very next receive, in sctp_recvmsg()
(net/sctp/socket.c:2155):
sp->pf->skb_msgname(head_skb, msg->msg_name, &msg->msg_namelen);
which for IPv6 reads sctp_sk(skb->sk)->v4mapped (net/sctp/ipv6.c:894).
Re-point the cover-letter skb during migration as well. The event lives in
skb->cb of the event skb only, so this cannot be folded into
sctp_skb_set_owner_r_frag(), which also recurses over fragment skbs; add a
small wrapper and use it at the three migration call sites.
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sctp_inet6_skb_msgname+0x633/0xb30
Read of size 2 at addr ff1100010aafc8e0 by task gso_uaf/6387

sctp_inet6_skb_msgname+0x633/0xb30

Freed by task 0:

The buggy address belongs to the object at ff1100010aafc380
which belongs to the cache SCTPv6 of size 1560
