[PATCH v2] udp6: Fix race condition in udp6_sendmsg & connect

From: Vladislav Efanov
Date: Tue May 30 2023 - 07:41:07 EST


Syzkaller got the following report:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in sk_setup_caps+0x621/0x690 net/core/sock.c:2018
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888027f82780 by task syz-executor276/3255

The function sk_setup_caps (called by ip6_sk_dst_store_flow->
ip6_dst_store) referenced already freed memory as this memory was
freed by parallel task in udpv6_sendmsg->ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow->
sk_dst_check.

task1 (connect) task2 (udp6_sendmsg)
sk_setup_caps->sk_dst_set |
| sk_dst_check->
| sk_dst_set
| dst_release
sk_setup_caps references |
to already freed dst_entry|

The reason for this race condition is: sk_setup_caps() keeps using
the dst after transferring the ownership to the dst cache.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with syzkaller.
