Descriptions

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

bpf, sockmap: Fix race between element replace and close()

Element replace (with a socket different from the one stored) may race
with socket's close() link popping & unlinking. __sock_map_delete()
unconditionally unrefs the (wrong) element:

// set map[0] = s0
map_update_elem(map, 0, s0)

// drop fd of s0
close(s0)
sock_map_close()
lock_sock(sk) (s0!)
sock_map_remove_links(sk)
link = sk_psock_link_pop()
sock_map_unlink(sk, link)
sock_map_delete_from_link
// replace map[0] with s1
map_update_elem(map, 0, s1)
sock_map_update_elem
(s1!) lock_sock(sk)
sock_map_update_common
psock = sk_psock(sk)
spin_lock(&stab->lock)
osk = stab->sks[idx]
sock_map_add_link(..., &stab->sks[idx])
sock_map_unref(osk, &stab->sks[idx])
psock = sk_psock(osk)
sk_psock_put(sk, psock)
if (refcount_dec_and_test(&psock))
sk_psock_drop(sk, psock)
spin_unlock(&stab->lock)
unlock_sock(sk)
__sock_map_delete
spin_lock(&stab->lock)
sk = *psk // s1 replaced s0; sk == s1
if (!sk_test || sk_test == sk) // sk_test (s0) != sk (s1); no branch
sk = xchg(psk, NULL)
if (sk)
sock_map_unref(sk, psk) // unref s1; sks[idx] will dangle
psock = sk_psock(sk)
sk_psock_put(sk, psock)
if (refcount_dec_and_test())
sk_psock_drop(sk, psock)
spin_unlock(&stab->lock)
release_sock(sk)

Then close(map) enqueues bpf_map_free_deferred, which finally calls
sock_map_free(). This results in some refcount_t warnings along with
a KASAN splat [1].

Fix __sock_map_delete(), do not allow sock_map_unref() on elements that
may have been replaced.
