[PATCH] ax25: Fix memory leaks caused by ax25_cb_del()

From: Duoming Zhou
Date: Wed Mar 09 2022 - 10:06:37 EST


The previous commit d01ffb9eee4a ("ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to
avoid UAF bugs") and commit feef318c855a ("ax25: fix UAF bugs of
net_device caused by rebinding operation") increase the refcounts of
ax25_dev and net_device in ax25_bind() and decrease the matching refcounts
in ax25_kill_by_device() in order to prevent UAF bugs. But there are memory
leaks.

If we use ax25_bind() to increase the refcounts of ax25_dev and
net_device, then, use ax25_cb_del() invoked by ax25_destroy_socket()
to delete ax25_cb in hlist before calling ax25_kill_by_device(), the
decrements of refcounts in ax25_kill_by_device() will not be executed,
because ax25_cb is deleted from the hlist.

This patch adds two flags in ax25_dev in order to prevent memory leaks.
If we bind successfully, then, use ax25_cb_del() to delete ax25_cb,
the two "test_bit" condition checks in ax25_kill_by_device() could
pass and the refcounts could be decreased properly.

Fixes: d01ffb9eee4a ("ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to avoid UAF bugs")
Fixes: feef318c855a ("ax25: fix UAF bugs of net_device caused by rebinding operation")
