CVE-2023-32269 (published 2023-05-05T17:15Z)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.1.11. In net/netrom/af_netrom.c, there is a use-after-free because accept is also allowed for a successfully connected AF_NETROM socket. However, in order for an attacker to exploit this, the system must have netrom routing configured or the attacker must have the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.

CVSS v3 base score: 6.7, MEDIUM (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-416
cwe_name: Use After Free
description: The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

msg: netrom: Fix use-after-free caused by accept on already connected socket

If you call listen() and accept() on an already connect()ed
AF_NETROM socket, accept() can successfully connect.
This is because when the peer socket sends data to sendmsg,
the skb with its own sk stored in the connected socket's
sk->sk_receive_queue is connected, and nr_accept() dequeues
the skb waiting in the sk->sk_receive_queue.

As a result, nr_accept() allocates and returns a sock with
the sk of the parent AF_NETROM socket.

And here use-after-free can happen through complex race conditions:
```
