CVE: CVE-2021-47103
Published: 2024-03-04
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

inet: fully convert sk->sk_rx_dst to RCU rules

syzbot reported various issues around early demux,
one being included in this changelog [1]

sk->sk_rx_dst is using RCU protection without clearly
documenting it.

And following sequences in tcp_v4_do_rcv()/tcp_v6_do_rcv()
are not following standard RCU rules.

[a]    dst_release(dst);
[b]    sk->sk_rx_dst = NULL;

They look wrong because a delete operation of RCU protected
pointer is supposed to clear the pointer before
the call_rcu()/synchronize_rcu() guarding actual memory freeing.

In some cases indeed, dst could be freed before [b] is done.

We could cheat by clearing sk_rx_dst before calling
dst_release(), but this seems the right time to stick
to standard RCU annotations and debugging facilities.
