[PATCH net v2] net/rose: fix NULL pointer dereference in rose_transmit_link on reconnect

[Jiayuan Chen]

From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@xxxxxxxxxx>

syzkaller reported a bug [1], and the reproducer is available at [2].

ROSE sockets use four sk->sk_state values: TCP_CLOSE, TCP_LISTEN,
TCP_SYN_SENT, and TCP_ESTABLISHED. rose_connect() already rejects
calls for TCP_ESTABLISHED (-EISCONN) and TCP_CLOSE with SS_CONNECTING
(-ECONNREFUSED), but lacks a check for TCP_SYN_SENT.

When rose_connect() is called a second time while the first connection
attempt is still in progress (TCP_SYN_SENT), it overwrites
rose->neighbour via rose_get_neigh(). If that returns NULL, the socket
is left with rose->state == ROSE_STATE_1 but rose->neighbour == NULL.
When the socket is subsequently closed, rose_release() sees
ROSE_STATE_1 and calls rose_write_internal() ->
rose_transmit_link(skb, NULL), causing a NULL pointer dereference.

Per connect(2), a second connect() while a connection is already in
progress should return -EALREADY. Add this missing check for
TCP_SYN_SENT to complete the state validation in rose_connect().
