Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/12] can: isotp: fix filter removal race between release and netns change
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 18:41:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261018164417.1540449-5-mkl@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261018164417.1540449-1-mkl@pengutronix.de>

From: Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@hartkopp.net>

isotp_release() removes the socket from isotp_notifier_list before it
takes rtnl_lock(). As the netdev notifier chain runs under RTNL, a
socket that leaves the list in this window is skipped by isotp_notify()
and has to remove its CAN filters itself.

This fails when the bound device is moved to another network namespace
in this window: isotp_release() passes sock_net(sk) to
can_rx_unregister(), which silently returns when this namespace does not
match dev_net(dev) anymore. As can_rx_register() stores rcv->sk without
taking a reference, the remaining receivers point to the freed socket
and travel with the device into the new namespace:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in isotp_rcv+0x1570/0x24d0
  Read of size 1 at addr ffff888118130552 by task isotp_ns_uaf/578
   can_rcv_filter+0x4af/0x8c0
   can_receive+0x28d/0x3c0
   can_rcv+0x2a9/0x310
   __netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x21a/0x260
   process_backlog+0x210/0x760

Take rtnl_lock() before removing the socket from the notifier list, so
that isotp_release() and isotp_notify() can not both skip the removal.

As the notifier chain is always invoked under RTNL (see ASSERT_RTNL() in
call_netdevice_notifiers_info()), isotp_busy_notifier can not point to
the released socket anymore. Replace the now dead busy-wait loop with a
WARN_ON_ONCE(). isotp_notifier_lock is still needed, as isotp_init()
adds new sockets to isotp_notifier_list without holding RTNL.

Additionally use dev_net(so->dev) for the can_rx_unregister() calls, as
the CAN filters live in the device's namespace. With the new locking
both namespaces are equal there, but dev_net(so->dev) is stable under
RTNL and always names the correct namespace.
