Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: af_unix: Call kfree_skb() for dead unix_(sk)->oob_skb in GC. syzbot reported a warning [0] in __unix_gc() with a repro, which
creates a socketpair and sends one socket's fd to itself using the
peer. socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, [3, 4]) = 0 sendmsg(4, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\360", iov_len=1}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_control=[{cmsg_len=20, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type=SCM_RIGHTS, cmsg_data=[3]}], msg_controllen=24, msg_flags=0}, MSG_OOB|MSG_PROBE|MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_ZEROCOPY) = 1 This forms a self-cyclic reference that GC should finally untangle
but does not due to lack of MSG_OOB handling, resulting in memory
leak. Recently, commit 11498715f266 ("af_unix: Remove io_uring code for
GC.") removed io_uring's dead code in GC and revealed the problem. The code was executed at the final stage of GC and unconditionally
moved all GC candidates from gc_candidates to gc_inflight_list.
That papered over the reported problem by always making the following
WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&gc_candidates)) false. The problem has been there since commit 2aab4b969002 ("af_unix: fix
struct pid leaks in OOB support") added full scm support for MSG_OOB
while fixing another bug. To fix this problem, we must call kfree_skb() for unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb
if the socket still exists in gc_candidates after purging collected skb. Then, we need to set NULL to oob_skb before calling kfree_skb() because
it calls last fput() and triggers unix_release_sock(), where we call
duplicate kfree_skb(u->oob_skb) if not NULL. Note that the leaked socket remained being linked to a global list, so
kmemleak also could not detect it. We need to check /proc/net/protocol
to notice the unfreed socket. [0]:

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: af_unix: Llame a kfree_skb() para unix_(sk)-&gt;oob_skb muerto en GC. syzbot informó una advertencia [0] en __unix_gc() con una reproducción, que crea un par de sockets y se envía el fd de un socket a sí mismo utilizando el par. socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, [3, 4]) = 0 sendmsg(4, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\360", iov_len=1}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_control=[{cmsg_len=20, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type=SCM_RIGHTS, cmsg_data=[3]}], msg_controllen=24, msg_flags=0}, MSG_OOB|MSG_PROBE|MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_ZEROCOPY) = 1 Esto forma una referencia autocíclica ese GC finalmente debería desenredarse, pero no lo hace debido a la falta de manejo de MSG_OOB, lo que resulta en una pérdida de memoria. Recientemente, el commit 11498715f266 ("af_unix: Eliminar el código io_uring para GC.") eliminó el código inactivo de io_uring en GC y reveló el problema. El código se ejecutó en la etapa final de GC y movió incondicionalmente todos los candidatos de GC de gc_candidates a gc_inflight_list. Eso ocultó el problema informado haciendo siempre que lo siguiente WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&amp;gc_candidates)) fuera falso. El problema ha estado ahí desde que el commit 2aab4b969002 ("af_unix: corrige fugas de struct pid en soporte OOB") agregó soporte completo de scm para MSG_OOB mientras solucionaba otro error. Para solucionar este problema, debemos llamar a kfree_skb() para unix_sk(sk)-&gt;oob_skb si el socket todavía existe en gc_candidates después de purgar el skb recopilado. Luego, necesitamos establecer NULL en oob_skb antes de llamar a kfree_skb() porque llama al último fput() y activa unix_release_sock(), donde llamamos al duplicado kfree_skb(u-&gt;oob_skb) si no es NULL. Tenga en cuenta que el socket filtrado seguía vinculado a una lista global, por lo que kmemleak tampoco pudo detectarlo. Necesitamos verificar /proc/net/protocol para notar el socket no liberado.
