Duoming Zhou cfc8b37ef0 ax25: improve the incomplete fix to avoid UAF and NPD bugs
[ Upstream commit 4e0f718daf97d47cf7dec122da1be970f145c809 ]

The previous commit 1ade48d0c27d ("ax25: NPD bug when detaching
AX25 device") introduce lock_sock() into ax25_kill_by_device to
prevent NPD bug. But the concurrency NPD or UAF bug will occur,
when lock_sock() or release_sock() dereferences the ax25_cb->sock.

The NULL pointer dereference bug can be shown as below:

ax25_kill_by_device()        | ax25_release()
                             |   ax25_destroy_socket()
                             |     ax25_cb_del()
  ...                        |     ...
                             |     ax25->sk=NULL;
  lock_sock(s->sk); //(1)    |
  s->ax25_dev = NULL;        |     ...
  release_sock(s->sk); //(2) |
  ...                        |

The root cause is that the sock is set to null before dereference
site (1) or (2). Therefore, this patch extracts the ax25_cb->sock
in advance, and uses ax25_list_lock to protect it, which can synchronize
with ax25_cb_del() and ensure the value of sock is not null before
dereference sites.

The concurrency UAF bug can be shown as below:

ax25_kill_by_device()        | ax25_release()
                             |   ax25_destroy_socket()
  ...                        |   ...
                             |   sock_put(sk); //FREE
  lock_sock(s->sk); //(1)    |
  s->ax25_dev = NULL;        |   ...
  release_sock(s->sk); //(2) |
  ...                        |

The root cause is that the sock is released before dereference
site (1) or (2). Therefore, this patch uses sock_hold() to increase
the refcount of sock and uses ax25_list_lock to protect it, which
can synchronize with ax25_cb_del() in ax25_destroy_socket() and
ensure the sock wil not be released before dereference sites.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
