Subject: [PATCH] can: raw: fix ro->uniq use-after-free in raw_rcv()
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 15:08:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409130814.72175-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
From: Samuel Page <sam@bynar.io>
raw_release() unregisters raw CAN receive filters via can_rx_unregister(),
but receiver deletion is deferred with call_rcu(). This leaves a window
where raw_rcv() may still be running in an RCU read-side critical section
after raw_release() frees ro->uniq, leading to a use-after-free of the
percpu uniq storage.
Move free_percpu(ro->uniq) out of raw_release() and into a raw-specific
socket destructor. can_rx_unregister() takes an extra reference to the
socket and only drops it from the RCU callback, so freeing uniq from
sk_destruct ensures the percpu area is not released until the relevant
callbacks have drained.
Fixes: 514ac99c64b2 ("can: fix multiple delivery of a single CAN frame for overlapping CAN filters")
