Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bpf, skmsg: fix verdict sk_data_ready racing with ktls rx<br />
<br />
sk_psock_strp_data_ready() already checks tls_sw_has_ctx_rx() and<br />
defers to psock->saved_data_ready when a TLS RX context is present,<br />
avoiding a conflict with the TLS strparser&#39;s ownership of the receive<br />
queue (commit e91de6afa81c, "bpf: Fix running sk_skb program types<br />
with ktls").<br />
<br />
sk_psock_verdict_data_ready() has no equivalent guard. When a socket<br />
is inserted into a sockmap (BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT) before TLS RX is<br />
configured, tls_sw_strparser_arm() saves sk_psock_verdict_data_ready<br />
as rx_ctx->saved_data_ready. On data arrival:<br />
<br />
tls_data_ready -> tls_strp_data_ready -> tls_rx_msg_ready<br />
-> saved_data_ready() = sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()<br />
-> tcp_read_skb() drains sk_receive_queue via __skb_unlink()<br />
without calling tcp_eat_skb(), so copied_seq is not advanced.<br />
<br />
tls_strp_msg_load() then finds tcp_inq() >= full_len (stale), calls<br />
tcp_recv_skb() on the now-empty queue, hits WARN_ON_ONCE(!first), and<br />
returns with rx_ctx->strp.anchor.frag_list pointing at a psock-owned<br />
(potentially freed) skb. tls_decrypt_sg() subsequently walks that<br />
frag_list: use-after-free.<br />
<br />
Apply the same fix as sk_psock_strp_data_ready(): if a TLS RX context<br />
is present, call psock->saved_data_ready (sock_def_readable) to wake<br />
recv() waiters and return immediately, leaving the receive queue<br />
untouched. TLS retains sole ownership of the queue and decrypts the<br />
record normally through tls_sw_recvmsg().
