Description

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

bpf, sockmap: Fix memleak in sk_psock_queue_msg

If tcp_bpf_sendmsg is running during a tear down operation we may enqueue
data on the ingress msg queue while tear down is trying to free it.

sk1 (redirect sk2) sk2


tcp_bpf_sendmsg()
tcp_bpf_send_verdict()
tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir()
bpf_tcp_ingress()
sock_map_close()
lock_sock()
lock_sock() ... blocking
sk_psock_stop
sk_psock_clear_state(psock, SK_PSOCK_TX_ENABLED);
release_sock(sk);
lock_sock()
sk_mem_charge()
get_page()
sk_psock_queue_msg()
sk_psock_test_state(psock, SK_PSOCK_TX_ENABLED);
drop_sk_msg()
release_sock()

While drop_sk_msg(), the msg has charged memory form sk by sk_mem_charge
and has sg pages need to put. To fix we use sk_msg_free() and then kfee()
msg.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
