[PATCH ipsec v2] xfrm4: use a full socket for local errors

[PATCH ipsec v2] xfrm4: use a full socket for local errors

[Fourie Zhang]

From: Fourie Zhang <fouriezhang@tencent.com>

xfrm4_local_error() passes skb->sk to inet_sk() and ip_local_error()
without ensuring it points to a full socket. TCP SYN-ACK skbs can be owned
by TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV request sockets.

xfrm4_tunnel_check_size() already checks sk_fullsock() since commit
1620c88887b1 ("xfrm: Fix the usage of skb->sk"), so iptfs_is_too_big() is
the only remaining IPv4 caller passing a request socket here: the sk it
tests is the listener, while skb->sk is the request socket.

When IP-TFS rejects such an skb because it exceeds its payload MTU, the
local error path treats the request socket as a struct inet_sock. KASAN
reports a slab-out-of-bounds read in ip_local_error() beyond the
request_sock_TCP allocation.

Resolve the skb owner with skb_to_full_sk() before accessing inet_sock
state or reporting the error. This maps a request socket to its listener
and rejects sockets that cannot be used as full sockets, matching what
commit 6973a21ee73c ("ipv6: xfrm: use full sockets in local error paths")
did for xfrm6_local_error().
