Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net/nfc: fix use-after-free llcp_sock_bind/connect<br />
<br />
Commits 8a4cd82d ("nfc: fix refcount leak in llcp_sock_connect()")<br />
and c33b1cc62 ("nfc: fix refcount leak in llcp_sock_bind()")<br />
fixed a refcount leak bug in bind/connect but introduced a<br />
use-after-free if the same local is assigned to 2 different sockets.<br />
<br />
This can be triggered by the following simple program:<br />
int sock1 = socket( AF_NFC, SOCK_STREAM, NFC_SOCKPROTO_LLCP );<br />
int sock2 = socket( AF_NFC, SOCK_STREAM, NFC_SOCKPROTO_LLCP );<br />
memset( &addr, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_nfc_llcp) );<br />
addr.sa_family = AF_NFC;<br />
addr.nfc_protocol = NFC_PROTO_NFC_DEP;<br />
bind( sock1, (struct sockaddr*) &addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_nfc_llcp) )<br />
bind( sock2, (struct sockaddr*) &addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_nfc_llcp) )<br />
close(sock1);<br />
close(sock2);<br />
<br />
Fix this by assigning NULL to llcp_sock->local after calling<br />
nfc_llcp_local_put.<br />
<br />
This addresses CVE-2021-23134.
