Hi All,

I am not able to reproduce the issue. I have run the C program at least
100 times in a loop. In the I do get an EFAULT, not sure if that is
intentional or not but no panic. Should I be doing something
differently? The kernel version I am using is
v6.11-rc6-70-gc763c4339688. Later I can try with the exact version.
The -EFAULT is the bug meaning that we were trying to read an consumed skb.

But the first bug is in recvfrom() that shouldn't be able to read OOB skb
without MSG_OOB, which doesn't clear unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb, and later
something bad happens.

socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, [3, 4]) = 0
sendmsg(4, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\333", iov_len=1}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_OOB|MSG_DONTWAIT) = 1
recvmsg(3, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=NULL, msg_iovlen=0, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_OOB}, MSG_OOB|MSG_WAITFORONE) = 1
sendmsg(4, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\21", iov_len=1}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_OOB|MSG_NOSIGNAL|MSG_MORE) = 1
recvfrom(3, "\21", 125, MSG_DONTROUTE|MSG_TRUNC|MSG_DONTWAIT, NULL, NULL) = 1
recvmsg(3, {msg_namelen=0}, MSG_OOB|MSG_ERRQUEUE) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

I posted a fix officially:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240905193240.17565-5-kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx/__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!IJeFvLdaXIRN2ABsMFVaKOEjI3oZb2kUr6ld6ZRJCPAVum4vuyyYwUP6_5ZH9mGZiJDn6vrbxBAOqYI$
Thanks that is great. Isn't EFAULT, normally indicative of an issue
with the user provided address of the buffer, not the kernel buffer.
Normally, it's used when copy_to_user() or copy_from_user() or
something similar failed.

But this time, if you turn KASAN off, you'll see the last recvmsg()
returns 1-byte garbage instead of -EFAULT, so actually KASAN worked
on your host, I guess.

No it did not work. As soon as KASAN detected read after free it should have paniced as it did in the report and I have been running the syzbot's C program in a continuous loop. I would like to reproduce the issue before we can accept the fix -- If that is alright with you. I will try your new test case later and report back. Thanks for the patch though.

Regards,

Shoaib
