[PATCH 4.14 40/43] ax25: fix NPD bug in ax25_disconnect

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Apr 26 2022 - 04:32:08 EST


From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7ec02f5ac8a5be5a3f20611731243dc5e1d9ba10 upstream.

The ax25_disconnect() in ax25_kill_by_device() is not
protected by any locks, thus there is a race condition
between ax25_disconnect() and ax25_destroy_socket().
when ax25->sk is assigned as NULL by ax25_destroy_socket(),
a NULL pointer dereference bug will occur if site (1) or (2)
dereferences ax25->sk.

ax25_kill_by_device() | ax25_release()
ax25_disconnect() | ax25_destroy_socket()
... |
if(ax25->sk != NULL) | ...
... | ax25->sk = NULL;
bh_lock_sock(ax25->sk); //(1) | ...
... |
bh_unlock_sock(ax25->sk); //(2)|

This patch moves ax25_disconnect() into lock_sock(), which can
synchronize with ax25_destroy_socket() in ax25_release().
