Title
tipc: fix use-after-free of the discoverer in tipc_disc_rcv()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix use-after-free of the discoverer in tipc_disc_rcv()
bearer_disable() frees b->disc with tipc_disc_delete()'s plain kfree(),
but tipc_disc_rcv() still dereferences b->disc in RX softirq under
rcu_read_lock() (tipc_udp_recv -> tipc_rcv -> tipc_disc_rcv).
L2 bearers are safe thanks to the synchronize_net() in
tipc_disable_l2_media(), but the UDP bearer defers that call to the
cleanup_bearer() workqueue, so the discoverer is freed with no grace
period:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in tipc_disc_rcv (net/tipc/discover.c:149)
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88802348b728 by task poc_tipc/184
<IRQ>
tipc_disc_rcv (net/tipc/discover.c:149)
tipc_rcv (net/tipc/node.c:2126)
tipc_udp_recv (net/tipc/udp_media.c:391)
udp_rcv (net/ipv4/udp.c:2643)
ip_local_deliver_finish (net/ipv4/ip_input.c:241)
</IRQ>
Freed by task 181:
kfree (mm/slub.c:6565)
bearer_disable (net/tipc/bearer.c:418)
tipc_nl_bearer_disable (net/tipc/bearer.c:1001)
The bearer is freed with kfree_rcu(); free the discoverer the same way.
Add an rcu_head to struct tipc_discoverer and free it and its skb from an
RCU callback.
Because the RCU callback (tipc_disc_free_rcu) lives in module text, a
call_rcu() that is still pending when the tipc module is unloaded would
invoke a freed function. Add an rcu_barrier() to tipc_exit() after the
bearer subsystem has been torn down, so all pending discoverer callbacks
have run before the module text goes away.
Reachable from an unprivileged user namespace: the TIPCv2 genl family is
netnsok and its bearer commands have no GENL_ADMIN_PERM. Needs CONFIG_TIPC
and CONFIG_TIPC_MEDIA_UDP.
Severity
No CVSS data available.
