commit 8c7188b23474cca017b3ef354c4a58456f68303a upstream.

Sasha's found a NULL pointer dereference in the RDS connection code when
sending a message to an apparently unbound socket.  The problem is caused
by the code checking if the socket is bound in rds_sendmsg(), which checks
the rs_bound_addr field without taking a lock on the socket.  This opens a
race where rs_bound_addr is temporarily set but where the transport is not
in rds_bind(), leading to a NULL pointer dereference when trying to
dereference 'trans' in __rds_conn_create().

Vegard wrote a reproducer for this issue, so kindly ask him to share if
you're interested.

I cannot reproduce the NULL pointer dereference using Vegard's reproducer
with this patch, whereas I could without.

Complete earlier incomplete fix to CVE-2015-6937:

  74e98eb08588 ("RDS: verify the underlying transport exists before creating a connection")

commit 74e98eb085889b0d2d4908f59f6e00026063014f upstream.

There was no verification that an underlying transport exists when creating
a connection, this would cause dereferencing a NULL ptr.

It might happen on sockets that weren't properly bound before attempting to
send a message, which will cause a NULL ptr deref:

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence

<title>RDS: don't call rds_conn_shutdown() from rds_conn_destroy()</title>

rds_conn_shutdown() can return before the connection is shut down when
it encounters an existing state that it doesn't understand.  This lets
rds_conn_destroy() then start tearing down the conn from under paths
that are still using it.

It's more reliable the shutdown work and wait for krdsd to complete the
shutdown callback.  This stopped some hangs I was seeing where krdsd was
trying to shut down a freed conn.

Right now there's nothing to stop the various paths that use
rs-&gt;rs_transport from racing with rmmod and executing freed transport
code.  The simple fix is to have binding to a transport also hold a
reference to the transport's module, removing this class of races.

We already had an unused t_owner field which was set for the modular
transports and which wasn't set for the built-in loop transport.

rds_conn_destroy() can race with all other modifications of the
rds_conn_count but it was modifying the count without locking.

The trivial amount of memory saved isn't worth the cost of dealing with section
mismatches.
