Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phonet: do not BUG_ON() in pn_socket_autobind() on failed bind
syzbot reported a kernel BUG triggered from pn_socket_sendmsg() via
pn_socket_autobind():
kernel BUG at net/phonet/socket.c:213!
RIP: 0010:pn_socket_autobind net/phonet/socket.c:213 [inline]
RIP: 0010:pn_socket_sendmsg+0x240/0x250 net/phonet/socket.c:421
Call Trace:
sock_sendmsg_nosec+0x112/0x150 net/socket.c:797
__sock_sendmsg net/socket.c:812 [inline]
__sys_sendto+0x402/0x590 net/socket.c:2280
...
pn_socket_autobind() calls pn_socket_bind() with port 0 and, on
-EINVAL, assumes the socket was already bound and asserts that the
port is non-zero:
err = pn_socket_bind(sock, ..., sizeof(struct sockaddr_pn));
if (err != -EINVAL)
return err;
BUG_ON(!pn_port(pn_sk(sock->sk)->sobject));
return 0; /* socket was already bound */
However pn_socket_bind() also returns -EINVAL when sk->sk_state is not
TCP_CLOSE, even when the socket has never been bound and pn_port() is
still 0. In that case the BUG_ON() fires and panics the kernel from a
user-triggerable path.
Treat the "bind returned -EINVAL but pn_port() is still 0" case as a
regular error and propagate -EINVAL to the caller instead of crashing.
Existing callers already translate a non-zero return from
pn_socket_autobind() into -ENOBUFS/-EAGAIN, so returning -EINVAL here
only changes behaviour from panic to a normal errno.
