Title
sunrpc: init gssp_lock before publishing proc entry
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sunrpc: init gssp_lock before publishing proc entry create_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry() publishes /proc/net/rpc/use-gss-proxy via proc_create_data() before init_gssp_clnt() runs mutex_init() on sn->gssp_lock. Once the dentry is linked under proc_subdir_lock it is immediately reachable from userspace, so a write that lands in the window drives set_gssp_clnt() into mutex_lock() on a zero-initialized struct mutex. create_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry(net) proc_create_data("use-gss-proxy", ...) /* dentry live */ init_gssp_clnt(sn) mutex_init(&sn->gssp_lock) /* too late */ write_gssp() set_gssp_clnt(net) mutex_lock(&sn->gssp_lock) /* uninitialized */ gssp_rpc_create(...) sn->gssp_clnt = clnt mutex_unlock(&sn->gssp_lock) The window spans only the two statements between proc_create_data() returning and init_gssp_clnt(), so a writer reaches it only if the registering thread is preempted there while another task is already opening the freshly published file. register_pernet_subsys() runs in preemptible context under pernet_ops_rwsem, so that preemption is possible, and the window widens on auth_rpcgss module load, when the proc entry is created for every live net namespace whose tasks are already running. A writer that wins the race locks a zero-filled struct mutex. On CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES the missing magic value trips a "lock used without init" splat; on a production kernel the fast path acquires the lock via CMPXCHG(owner, 0, current). In the latter case a second writer that arrives before init_gssp_clnt() re-zeroes owner can enter set_gssp_clnt() concurrently, shut down the first writer's clnt while it is still in use, and leak the loser's clnt. Fix by initializing sn->gssp_lock in sunrpc_init_net() so its lifetime matches the sunrpc_net it lives in. sn->gssp_clnt is already NULL from the kzalloc that backs net_generic storage, so the lazy helper is no longer needed; drop init_gssp_clnt(), its prototype, and the call from create_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry(). sunrpc.ko is a build-time dependency of auth_rpcgss.ko, so sunrpc_init_net() has always run on every netns before any auth_gss pernet init can publish the proc entry.

Once the dentry is linked under proc_subdir_lock it is\\nimmediately reachable from userspace, so a write that lands in the\\nwindow drives set_gssp_clnt() into mutex_lock() on a zero-initialized\\nstruct mutex.\\n\\n    create_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry(net)\\n      proc_create_data(\\\"use-gss-proxy\\\", ...)   /* dentry live */\\n      init_gssp_clnt(sn)\\n        mutex_init(\u0026sn-\u003egssp_lock)             /* too late */\\n\\n    write_gssp()\\n      set_gssp_clnt(net)\\n        mutex_lock(\u0026sn-\u003egssp_lock)             /* uninitialized */\\n        gssp_rpc_create(...)\\n        sn-\u003egssp_clnt = clnt\\n        mutex_unlock(\u0026sn-\u003egssp_lock)\\n\\nThe window spans only the two statements between proc_create_data()\\nreturning and init_gssp_clnt(), so a writer reaches it only if the\\nregistering thread is preempted there while another task is already\\nopening the freshly published file.  register_pernet_subsys() runs in\\npreemptible context under pernet_ops_rwsem, so that preemption is\\npossible, and the window widens on auth_rpcgss module load, when the\\nproc entry is created for every live net namespace whose tasks are\\nalready running.  A writer that wins the race locks a zero-filled\\nstruct mutex.  On CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES the missing magic value trips a\\n\\\"lock used without init\\\" splat; on a production kernel the fast path\\nacquires the lock via CMPXCHG(owner, 0, current).  In the latter case\\na second writer that arrives before init_gssp_clnt() re-zeroes owner\\ncan enter set_gssp_clnt() concurrently, shut down the first writer\u0027s\\nclnt while it is still in use, and leak the loser\u0027s clnt.\\n\\nFix by initializing sn-\u003egssp_lock in sunrpc_init_net() so its lifetime\\nmatches the sunrpc_net it lives in.  sn-\u003egssp_clnt is already NULL from\\nthe kzalloc that backs net_generic storage, so the lazy helper is no\\nlonger needed; drop init_gssp_clnt(), its prototype, and the call from\\ncreate_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry().  sunrpc.ko is a
