sctp: detect and prevent references to a freed transport in sendmsg

2025-05-02T05:39:16+00:00

commit f1a69a940de58b16e8249dff26f74c8cc59b32be upstream.

sctp_sendmsg() re-uses associations and transports when possible by
doing a lookup based on the socket endpoint and the message destination
address, and then sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() sets the selected transport in
all the message chunks to be sent.

There's a possible race condition if another thread triggers the removal
of that selected transport, for instance, by explicitly unbinding an
address with setsockopt(SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_REM), after the chunks have
been set up and before the message is sent. This can happen if the send
buffer is full, during the period when the sender thread temporarily
releases the socket lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf().

This causes the access to the transport data in
sctp_outq_select_transport(), when the association outqueue is flushed,
to result in a use-after-free read.

This change avoids this scenario by having sctp_transport_free() signal
the freeing of the transport, tagging it as "dead". In order to do this,
the patch restores the "dead" bit in struct sctp_transport, which was
removed in
commit 47faa1e4c50e ("sctp: remove the dead field of sctp_transport").

Then, in the scenario where the sender thread has released the socket
lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf(), the bit is checked again after
re-acquiring the socket lock to detect the deletion. This is done while
holding a reference to the transport to prevent it from being freed in
the process.

If the transport was deleted while the socket lock was relinquished,
sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() will return -EAGAIN to let userspace retry the
send.

The bug was found by a private syzbot instance (see the error report [1]
and the C reproducer that triggers it [2]).

sctp: move hlist_node and hashent out of sctp_ep_common

2024-08-19T03:33:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3d3b2f57d4447e6e9f4096ad01d0e4129f7bc7e9 ]

Struct sctp_ep_common is included in both asoc and ep, but hlist_node
and hashent are only needed by ep after asoc_hashtable was dropped by
Commit b5eff7128366 ("sctp: drop the old assoc hashtable of sctp").

So it is better to move hlist_node and hashent from sctp_ep_common to
sctp_endpoint, and it saves some space for each asoc.

sctp: add a refcnt in sctp_stream_priorities to avoid a nested loop

2023-03-11T15:44:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 68ba44639537de6f91fe32783766322d41848127 ]

With this refcnt added in sctp_stream_priorities, we don't need to
traverse all streams to check if the prio is used by other streams
when freeing one stream's prio in sctp_sched_prio_free_sid(). This
can avoid a nested loop (up to 65535 * 65535), which may cause a
stuck as Ying reported:

    watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#23 stuck for 26s! [ksoftirqd/23:136]

     sctp_association_free+0xa5/0x200 [sctp]

Note that it doesn't need to use refcount_t type for this counter,
as its accessing is always protected under the sock lock.

v1->v2:
 - add a check in sctp_sched_prio_set to avoid the possible prio_head
   refcnt overflow.

sctp: use call_rcu to free endpoint

[ Upstream commit 5ec7d18d1813a5bead0b495045606c93873aecbb ]

This patch is to delay the endpoint free by calling call_rcu() to fix

This issue occurs when asoc is peeled off and the old sk is freed after
getting it by asoc->base.sk and before calling lock_sock(sk).

To prevent the sk free, as a holder of the sk, ep should be alive when
calling lock_sock(). This patch uses call_rcu() and moves sock_put and
ep free into sctp_endpoint_destroy_rcu(), so that it's safe to try to
hold the ep under rcu_read_lock in sctp_transport_traverse_process().

If sctp_endpoint_hold() returns true, it means this ep is still alive
and we have held it and can continue to dump it; If it returns false,
it means this ep is dead and can be freed after rcu_read_unlock, and
we should skip it.

In sctp_sock_dump(), after locking the sk, if this ep is different from
tsp->asoc->ep, it means during this dumping, this asoc was peeled off
before calling lock_sock(), and the sk should be skipped; If this ep is
the same with tsp->asoc->ep, it means no peeloff happens on this asoc,
and due to lock_sock, no peeloff will happen either until release_sock.

Note that delaying endpoint free won't delay the port release, as the
port release happens in sctp_endpoint_destroy() before calling call_rcu().
Also, freeing endpoint by call_rcu() makes it safe to access the sk by
asoc->base.sk in sctp_assocs_seq_show() and sctp_rcv().

Thanks Jones to bring this issue up.

v1->v2:
  - improve the changelog.
  - add kfree(ep) into sctp_endpoint_destroy_rcu(), as Jakub noticed.

sctp: validate from_addr_param return

[ Upstream commit 0c5dc070ff3d6246d22ddd931f23a6266249e3db ]

Ilja reported that, simply putting it, nothing was validating that
from_addr_param functions were operating on initialized memory. That is,
the parameter itself was being validated by sctp_walk_params, but it
doesn't check for types and their specific sizes and it could be a 0-length
one, causing from_addr_param to potentially work over the next parameter or
even uninitialized memory.

The fix here is to, in all calls to from_addr_param, check if enough space
is there for the wanted IP address type.

net: sctp: Fix IPv6 ancestor_size calc in sctp_copy_descendant

[ Upstream commit fe81d9f6182d1160e625894eecb3d7ff0222cac5 ]

When calculating ancestor_size with IPv6 enabled, simply using
sizeof(struct ipv6_pinfo) doesn't account for extra bytes needed for
alignment in the struct sctp6_sock. On x86, there aren't any extra
bytes, but on ARM the ipv6_pinfo structure is aligned on an 8-byte
boundary so there were 4 pad bytes that were omitted from the
ancestor_size calculation.  This would lead to corruption of the
pd_lobby pointers, causing an oops when trying to free the sctp
structure on socket close.

sctp: Don't advertise IPv4 addresses if ipv6only is set on the socket

[ Upstream commit 471e39df96b9a4c4ba88a2da9e25a126624d7a9c ]

If a socket is set ipv6only, it will still send IPv4 addresses in the
INIT and INIT_ACK packets. This potentially misleads the peer into using
them, which then would cause association termination.

The fix is to not add IPv4 addresses to ipv6only sockets.

It was caused by rhashtable access asoc->base.sk when sctp_assoc_migrate

base.sk, and for an asoc, its netns won't change once set. So we can
simply fix it by caching netns since created.
