[PATCH net 1/2] tcp: fix use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION)

[Cen Zhang (Microsoft)]

do_tcp_getsockopt() reads icsk->icsk_ca_ops->name without holding
rcu_read_lock(). Since commit 0baf26b0fcd7 ("bpf: tcp: Support
tcp_congestion_ops in bpf"), icsk_ca_ops can point to dynamically
allocated BPF struct_ops memory that may be freed concurrently via
setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION), leading to a use-after-free.

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _copy_to_user+0x37/0x60
  Read of size 16 at addr ffff888013505260 by task exploit/149
   _copy_to_user+0x37/0x60
   do_tcp_getsockopt+0x158a/0x2460 (net/ipv4/tcp.c:4585)
   tcp_getsockopt+0x91/0xf0
   __sys_getsockopt+0xf7/0x170

Fix this by holding rcu_read_lock() around the ca_ops->name access and
copying the name to a stack buffer before releasing the lock.

The unsynchronized icsk_ca_ops load also constitutes a data race.
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations are intentionally left to a
separate change; related TCP annotation work is available at:
