[PATCH 3.18 006/183] geneve: Fix races between socket add and release.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Jan 25 2015 - 14:02:32 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jesse Gross <jesse@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 12069401d895ff84076a50189ca842c0696b84b2 ]

Currently, searching for a socket to add a reference to is not
synchronized with deletion of sockets. This can result in use
after free if there is another operation that is removing a
socket at the same time. Solving this requires both holding the
appropriate lock and checking the refcount to ensure that it
has not already hit zero.

Inspired by a related (but not exactly the same) issue in the
VXLAN driver.

Fixes: 0b5e8b8e ("net: Add Geneve tunneling protocol driver")
