sctp: detect and prevent references to a freed transport in sendmsg

2025-05-02T05:44:04+00:00

commit f1a69a940de58b16e8249dff26f74c8cc59b32be upstream. sctp_sendmsg() re-uses associations and transports when possible by doing a lookup based on the socket endpoint and the message destination address, and then sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() sets the selected transport in all the message chunks to be sent. There's a possible race condition if another thread triggers the removal of that selected transport, for instance, by explicitly unbinding an address with setsockopt(SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_REM), after the chunks have been set up and before the message is sent. This can happen if the send buffer is full, during the period when the sender thread temporarily releases the socket lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf(). This causes the access to the transport data in sctp_outq_select_transport(), when the association outqueue is flushed, to result in a use-after-free read. This change avoids this scenario by having sctp_transport_free() signal the freeing of the transport, tagging it as "dead". In order to do this, the patch restores the "dead" bit in struct sctp_transport, which was removed in commit 47faa1e4c50e ("sctp: remove the dead field of sctp_transport"). Then, in the scenario where the sender thread has released the socket lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf(), the bit is checked again after re-acquiring the socket lock to detect the deletion. This is done while holding a reference to the transport to prevent it from being freed in the process. If the transport was deleted while the socket lock was relinquished, sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() will return -EAGAIN to let userspace retry the send. The bug was found by a private syzbot instance (see the error report [1] and the C reproducer that triggers it [2]).

sctp: move hlist_node and hashent out of sctp_ep_common

[ Upstream commit 3d3b2f57d4447e6e9f4096ad01d0e4129f7bc7e9 ] Struct sctp_ep_common is included in both asoc and ep, but hlist_node and hashent are only needed by ep after asoc_hashtable was dropped by Commit b5eff7128366 ("sctp: drop the old assoc hashtable of sctp"). So it is better to move hlist_node and hashent from sctp_ep_common to sctp_endpoint, and it saves some space for each asoc. Signed-off-by: Xin Long Signed-off-by: David S.

sctp: add a refcnt in sctp_stream_priorities to avoid a nested loop

[ Upstream commit 5ec7d18d1813a5bead0b495045606c93873aecbb ] This patch is to delay the endpoint free by calling call_rcu() to fix another use-after-free issue in sctp_sock_dump(): BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __lock_acquire+0x36d9/0x4c20 Call Trace: __lock_acquire+0x36d9/0x4c20 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3218 lock_acquire+0x1ed/0x520 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3844 __raw_spin_lock_bh include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:135 [inline] _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x31/0x40 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:168 spin_lock_bh include/linux/spinlock.h:334 [inline] __lock_sock+0x203/0x350 net/core/sock.c:2253 lock_sock_nested+0xfe/0x120 net/core/sock.c:2774 lock_sock include/net/sock.h:1492 [inline] sctp_sock_dump+0x122/0xb20 net/sctp/diag.c:324 sctp_for_each_transport+0x2b5/0x370 net/sctp/socket.c:5091 sctp_diag_dump+0x3ac/0x660 net/sctp/diag.c:527 __inet_diag_dump+0xa8/0x140 net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1049 inet_diag_dump+0x9b/0x110 net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1065 netlink_dump+0x606/0x1080 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2244 __netlink_dump_start+0x59a/0x7c0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2352 netlink_dump_start include/linux/netlink.h:216 [inline] inet_diag_handler_cmd+0x2ce/0x3f0 net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1170 __sock_diag_cmd net/core/sock_diag.c:232 [inline] sock_diag_rcv_msg+0x31d/0x410 net/core/sock_diag.c:263 netlink_rcv_skb+0x172/0x440 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2477 sock_diag_rcv+0x2a/0x40 net/core/sock_diag.c:274 This issue occurs when asoc is peeled off and the old sk is freed after getting it by asoc->base.sk and before calling lock_sock(sk). To prevent the sk free, as a holder of the sk, ep should be alive when calling lock_sock(). This patch uses call_rcu() and moves sock_put and ep free into sctp_endpoint_destroy_rcu(), so that it's safe to try to hold the ep under rcu_read_lock in sctp_transport_traverse_process(). If sctp_endpoint_hold() returns true, it means this ep is still alive and we have held it and can continue to dump it; If it returns false, it means this ep is dead and can be freed after rcu_read_unlock, and we should skip it. In sctp_sock_dump(), after locking the sk, if this ep is different from tsp->asoc->ep, it means during this dumping, this asoc was peeled off before calling lock_sock(), and the sk should be skipped; If this ep is the same with tsp->asoc->ep, it means no peeloff happens on this asoc, and due to lock_sock, no peeloff will happen either until release_sock. Note that delaying endpoint free won't delay the port release, as the port release happens in sctp_endpoint_destroy() before calling call_rcu(). Also, freeing endpoint by call_rcu() makes it safe to access the sk by asoc->base.sk in sctp_assocs_seq_show() and sctp_rcv(). Thanks Jones to bring this issue up. v1->v2: - improve the changelog. - add kfree(ep) into sctp_endpoint_destroy_rcu(), as Jakub noticed.

sctp: send pmtu probe only if packet loss in Search Complete state

2021-07-25T22:06:02+00:00

This patch is to introduce last_rtx_chunks into sctp_transport to detect if there's any packet retransmission/loss happened by checking against asoc's rtx_data_chunks in sctp_transport_pl_send(). If there is, namely, transport->last_rtx_chunks != asoc->rtx_data_chunks, the pmtu probe will be sent out. Otherwise, increment the pl.raise_count and return when it's in Search Complete state. With this patch, if in Search Complete state, which is a long period, it doesn't need to keep probing the current pmtu unless there's data packet loss. This will save quite some traffic. v1->v2: - add the missing Fixes tag. Fixes: 0dac127c0557 ("sctp: do black hole detection in search complete state") Signed-off-by: Xin Long Signed-off-by: David S.

sctp: improve the code for pmtu probe send and recv update

2021-07-25T22:06:02+00:00

This patch does 3 things: - make sctp_transport_pl_send() and sctp_transport_pl_recv() return bool type to decide if more probe is needed to send. - pr_debug() only when probe is really needed to send. - count pl.raise_count in sctp_transport_pl_send() instead of sctp_transport_pl_recv(), and it's only incremented for the 1st probe for the same size. These are preparations for the next patch to make probes happen only when there's packet loss in Search Complete state. Signed-off-by: Xin Long Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sctp: validate from_addr_param return

2021-06-28T22:34:50+00:00

Ilja reported that, simply putting it, nothing was validating that from_addr_param functions were operating on initialized memory. That is, the parameter itself was being validated by sctp_walk_params, but it doesn't check for types and their specific sizes and it could be a 0-length one, causing from_addr_param to potentially work over the next parameter or even uninitialized memory. The fix here is to, in all calls to from_addr_param, check if enough space is there for the wanted IP address type.

sctp: do black hole detection in search complete state

2021-06-24T19:58:03+00:00

Currently the PLPMUTD probe will stop for a long period (interval * 30) after it enters search complete state. If there's a pmtu change on the route path, it takes a long time to be aware if the ICMP TooBig packet is lost or filtered. As it says in rfc8899#section-4.3: "A DPLPMTUD method MUST NOT rely solely on this method." (ICMP PTB message). This patch is to enable the other method for search complete state: "A PL can use the DPLPMTUD probing mechanism to periodically generate probe packets of the size of the current PLPMTU." With this patch, the probe will continue with the current pmtu every 'interval' until the PMTU_RAISE_TIMER 'timeout', which we implement by adding raise_count to raise the probe size when it counts to 30 and removing the SCTP_PL_COMPLETE check for PMTU_RAISE_TIMER.

sctp: do state transition when a probe succeeds on HB ACK recv path

2021-06-22T18:28:52+00:00

As described in rfc8899#section-5.2, when a probe succeeds, there might be the following state transitions: - Base -> Search, occurs when probe succeeds with BASE_PLPMTU, pl.pmtu is not changing, pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP, - Error -> Search, occurs when probe succeeds with BASE_PLPMTU, pl.pmtu is changed from SCTP_MIN_PLPMTU to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP. - Search -> Search Complete, occurs when probe succeeds with the probe size SCTP_MAX_PLPMTU less than pl.probe_high, pl.pmtu is not changing, but update *pathmtu* with it, pl.probe_size is set back to pl.pmtu to double check it. - Search Complete -> Search, occurs when probe succeeds with the probe size equal to pl.pmtu, pl.pmtu is not changing, pl.probe_size increases by SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP. So search process can be described as: 1. When it just enters 'Search' state, *pathmtu* is not updated with pl.pmtu, and probe_size increases by a big step (SCTP_PL_BIG_STEP) each round. 2. Until pl.probe_high is set when a probe fails, and probe_size decreases back to pl.pmtu, as described in the last patch. 3. When the probe with the new size succeeds, probe_size changes to increase by a small step (SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP) due to pl.probe_high is set. 4. Until probe_size is next to pl.probe_high, the searching finishes and it goes to 'Complete' state and updates *pathmtu* with pl.pmtu, and then probe_size is set to pl.pmtu to confirm by once more probe. 5. This probe occurs after "30 * probe_inteval", a much longer time than that in Search state. Once it is done it goes to 'Search' state again with probe_size increased by SCTP_PL_MIN_STEP. As we can see above, during the searching, pl.pmtu changes while *pathmtu* doesn't. *pathmtu* is only updated when the search finishes by which it gets an optimal value for it. A big step is used at the beginning until it gets close to the optimal value, then it changes to a small step until it has this optimal value. The small step is also used in 'Complete' until it goes to 'Search' state again and the probe with 'pmtu + the small step' succeeds, which means a higher size could be used. Then probe_size changes to increase by a big step again until it gets close to the next optimal value. Note that anytime when black hole is detected, it goes directly to 'Base' state with pl.pmtu set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU, as described in the last patch.
