Subject: [PATCH 1/1] bpf: Fix use-after-free in bpf_prog_test_run_sk_lookup()
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 23:35:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <35813d54d61b7b415adf002ef71087af6047da6e.1787897193.git.rakukuip@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1787897193.git.rakukuip@gmail.com>
From: Luxiao Xu <rakukuip@gmail.com>
In bpf_prog_test_run_sk_lookup(), bpf_test_timer_leave() is called
immediately after the repeat loop finishes, which drops RCU read-side
protection via rcu_read_unlock(). However, the subsequent code dereferences
ctx.selected_sk (checking sk_reuseport and generating cookie via
sock_gen_cookie()) outside the RCU read-side critical section.
bpf_sk_lookup_assign() explicitly allows selecting non-refcounted sockets
whose lifecycles rely on RCU grace periods. If the selected socket is
concurrently destroyed and reclaimed by RCU callbacks after the timer loop
leaves, accessing ctx.selected_sk results in a use-after-free (UAF).
Fix this by deferring the bpf_test_timer_leave() call until after
ctx.selected_sk has been accessed and processed. This ensures that
ctx.selected_sk remains protected by the RCU read lock held during the final
iteration, while preserving the cooperative scheduling and grace period
progress (via cond_resched()) within bpf_test_timer_continue().
Fixes: 7c32e8f8bc33 ("bpf: Add PROG_TEST_RUN support for sk_lookup programs")
