CVE-2024-39500: kernel: sock_map: avoid race between sock_map_close and sk_psock_put
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CWE: CWE-362 (Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition'))
CVSS v3: 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Public date: 2024-07-12T00:00:00+00:00

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

sock_map: avoid race between sock_map_close and sk_psock_put

sk_psock_get will return NULL if the refcount of psock has gone to 0, which
will happen when the last call of sk_psock_put is done. However,
sk_psock_drop may not have finished yet, so the close callback will still
point to sock_map_close despite psock being NULL.

This can be reproduced with a thread deleting an element from the sock map,
while the second one creates a socket, adds it to the map and closes it.

That will trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE:

Use sk_psock, which will only check that the pointer is not been set to
NULL yet, which should only happen after the callbacks are restored. If,
then, a reference can still be gotten, we may call sk_psock_stop and cancel
psock->work.

As suggested by Paolo Abeni, reorder the condition so the control flow is
less convoluted.

After that change, the reproducer does not trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE
anymore.
