Subject: [PATCH v8 01/14] SUNRPC: Reject an AUTH_TLS probe inside a TLS session
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2026 09:11:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104-duplicate-reply-cache-v8-1-eea5b90e4318@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104-duplicate-reply-cache-v8-0-eea5b90e4318@kernel.org>

svcauth_tls_accept() accepts an AUTH_TLS probe on a connection that
already carries a TLS session. It sets XPT_HANDSHAKE, and
svc_tcp_handshake() then clears XPT_TLS_SESSION and calls
tls_server_hello_x509(). The first handshake_req stays hashed until
the socket is destroyed, so the second request fails with -EBUSY and
svc_tcp_handshake() leaves the connection open. The kTLS ULP is
still installed, but XPT_TLS_SESSION is clear, so every later test
of that flag treats the connection as cleartext.

RFC 9289 Section 4.1 requires the server to reject a probe sent
within an existing TLS session with AUTH_BADCRED. Deny the call
there, before the handshake is started.

Fixes: 74aaf96feaca ("SUNRPC: Teach server to recognize RPC_AUTH_TLS")
