KCM removes the packets from sk_receive_queue in requeue_rx_msgs() without acquiring any lock. Moreover, in R() when the MSG_PEEK flag is not present, the skb is peeked and dequeued with two separate, non-atomic, calls.
The above create room for races, which SYZBOT has been able to exploit, causing list corruption and kernel oops: kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 8484 Comm: syz-executor919 Not tainted 4.17.0-rc7+ #74 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011 RIP: 0010:__skb_unlink include/linux/skbuff.h:1844 [inline] RIP: 0010:skb_unlink+0xc1/0x160 net/core/skbuff.c:2921 RSP: 0018:ffff8801d012f6f0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 0000000000000286 RBX: ffff8801d6e073c0 RCX: 0000000000000001 RDX: dffffc0000000000 RSI: 0000000000000004 RDI: 0000000000000008 RBP: ffff8801d012f718 R08: ffffed0038bb3b6d R09: ffffed0038bb3b6c R10: ffffed0038bb3b6c R11: ffff8801c5d9db63 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffff8801c5d9db60 R15: ffff8801d012fce0 FS: 0000000000ab7880(0000) GS:ffff8801dae00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000020e5b000 CR3: 00000001c31fb000 CR4: 00000000001406f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: kcm_recvmsg+0x48d/0x590 net/kcm/kcmsock.c:1160 sock_recvmsg_nosec+0x8c/0xb0 net/socket.c:802 ___sys_recvmsg+0x2b6/0x680 net/socket.c:2279 __sys_recvmmsg+0x2f9/0xb80 net/socket.c:2391 do_sys_recvmmsg+0xe4/0x190 net/socket.c:2472 __do_sys_recvmmsg net/socket.c:2485 [inline] __se_sys_recvmmsg net/socket.c:2481 [inline] __x64_sys_recvmmsg+0xbe/0x150 net/socket.c:2481 do_syscall_64+0x1b1/0x800 arch/x86/entry/common.c:287 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x4417a9 RSP: 002b:00007ffe27282838 EFLAGS: 00000206 ORIG_RAX: 000000000000012b RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 00000000004417a9 RDX: 00000000040000f7 RSI: 00000000200002c0 RDI: 0000000000000006 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000020000200 R09: 00007ffe272829f8 R10: 0000000000000060 R11: 0000000000000206 R12: 00000000000001f3 R13: 000000000001f871 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 Code: 00 00 00 49 8d 7d 08 4c 8b 63 08 48 ba 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 48 c7 43 08 00 00 00 00 48 89 f9 48 c7 03 00 00 00 00 48 c1 e9 03 <80> 3c 11 00 75 5b 4c 89 e1 4d 89 65 08 48 ba 00 00 00 00 00 fc RIP: __skb_unlink include/linux/skbuff.h:1844 [inline] RSP: ffff8801d012f6f0 RIP: skb_unlink+0xc1/0x160 net/core/skbuff.c:2921 RSP: ffff8801d012f6f0 To fix the above, we need to use the locked version of the socket dequeue helper in requeue_rx_msgs() and kcm_wait_data is changed to dequeue the available skb when not peeking. RFC -> v1: - use skb_dequeue(), as suggested by Tom - explicitly close the race between skb_peek and skb_unlink Fixes: ab7ac4eb9832 ("kcm: Kernel Connection Multiplexor module") Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+278279efdd2730dd1...@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pab...@redhat.com> --- This is an RFC, since I'm really new to this area, anyway the syzport reported success in testing the proposed fix. This is very likely a scenario where the upcoming skb->prev,next -> list_head conversion would have helped a lot, thanks to list poisoning and list debug --- net/kcm/kcmsock.c | 19 ++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/kcm/kcmsock.c b/net/kcm/kcmsock.c index d3601d421571..dd2d02bb35ae 100644 --- a/net/kcm/kcmsock.c +++ b/net/kcm/kcmsock.c @@ -223,7 +223,7 @@ static void requeue_rx_msgs(struct kcm_mux *mux, struct sk_buff_head *head) struct sk_buff *skb; struct kcm_sock *kcm; - while ((skb = __skb_dequeue(head))) { + while ((skb = skb_dequeue(head))) { /* Reset destructor to avoid calling kcm_rcv_ready */ skb->destructor = sock_rfree; skb_orphan(skb); @@ -1080,12 +1080,17 @@ static int kcm_sendmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, size_t len) return err; } -static struct sk_buff *kcm_wait_data(struct sock *sk, int flags, +static struct sk_buff *kcm_wait_data(struct sock *sk, int flags, bool peek, long timeo, int *err) { struct sk_buff *skb; - while (!(skb = skb_peek(&sk->sk_receive_queue))) { + for (;; ) { + skb = peek ? skb_peek(&sk->sk_receive_queue) : + skb_dequeue(&sk->sk_receive_queue); + if (skb) + break; + if (sk->sk_err) { *err = sock_error(sk); return NULL; @@ -1116,6 +1121,7 @@ static int kcm_recvmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, { struct sock *sk = sock->sk; struct kcm_sock *kcm = kcm_sk(sk); + bool peek = flags & MSG_PEEK; int err = 0; long timeo; struct strp_msg *stm; @@ -1126,7 +1132,7 @@ static int kcm_recvmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, lock_sock(sk); - skb = kcm_wait_data(sk, flags, timeo, &err); + skb = kcm_wait_data(sk, flags, peek, timeo, &err); if (!skb) goto out; @@ -1142,7 +1148,7 @@ static int kcm_recvmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, goto out; copied = len; - if (likely(!(flags & MSG_PEEK))) { + if (likely(!peek)) { KCM_STATS_ADD(kcm->stats.rx_bytes, copied); if (copied < stm->full_len) { if (sock->type == SOCK_DGRAM) { @@ -1157,7 +1163,6 @@ static int kcm_recvmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, /* Finished with message */ msg->msg_flags |= MSG_EOR; KCM_STATS_INCR(kcm->stats.rx_msgs); - skb_unlink(skb, &sk->sk_receive_queue); kfree_skb(skb); } } @@ -1186,7 +1191,7 @@ static ssize_t kcm_splice_read(struct socket *sock, loff_t *ppos, lock_sock(sk); - skb = kcm_wait_data(sk, flags, timeo, &err); + skb = kcm_wait_data(sk, flags, true, timeo, &err); if (!skb) goto err_out; -- 2.17.1
