sctp: Fix null-ptr-deref in reuseport_add_sock().
CVE: CVE-2024-44935
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-476
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2024-08-26T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: Fix null-ptr-deref in reuseport_add_sock().

syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref while accessing sk2->sk_reuseport_cb in
reuseport_add_sock(). [0]

The repro first creates a listener with SO_REUSEPORT.  Then, it creates
another listener on the same port and concurrently closes the first
listener.

The second listen() calls reuseport_add_sock() with the first listener as
sk2, where sk2->sk_reuseport_cb is not expected to be cleared concurrently,
but the close() does clear it by reuseport_detach_sock().

The problem is SCTP does not properly synchronise reuseport_alloc(),
reuseport_add_sock(), and reuseport_detach_sock().

The caller of reuseport_alloc() and reuseport_{add,detach}_sock() must
provide synchronisation for sockets that are classified into the same
reuseport group.

Otherwise, such sockets form multiple identical reuseport groups, and
all groups except one would be silently dead.

  1. Two sockets call listen() concurrently
  2. No socket in the same group found in sctp_ep_hashtable[]
  3. Two sockets call reuseport_alloc() and form two reuseport groups
  4. Only one group hit first in __sctp_rcv_lookup_endpoint() receives
      incoming packets

Also, the reported null-ptr-deref could occur.

TCP/UDP guarantees that would not happen by holding the hash bucket lock.

Let's apply the locking strategy to __sctp_hash_endpoint() and
__sctp_unhash_endpoint().
