Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
tcp_bpf: Call sk_msg_free() when tcp_bpf_send_verdict() fails to allocate psock->cork.<br />
<br />
syzbot reported the splat below. [0]<br />
<br />
The repro does the following:<br />
<br />
1. Load a sk_msg prog that calls bpf_msg_cork_bytes(msg, cork_bytes)<br />
2. Attach the prog to a SOCKMAP<br />
3. Add a socket to the SOCKMAP<br />
4. Activate fault injection<br />
5. Send data less than cork_bytes<br />
<br />
At 5., the data is carried over to the next sendmsg() as it is<br />
smaller than the cork_bytes specified by bpf_msg_cork_bytes().<br />
<br />
Then, tcp_bpf_send_verdict() tries to allocate psock->cork to hold<br />
the data, but this fails silently due to fault injection + __GFP_NOWARN.<br />
<br />
If the allocation fails, we need to revert the sk->sk_forward_alloc<br />
change done by sk_msg_alloc().<br />
<br />
Let&#39;s call sk_msg_free() when tcp_bpf_send_verdict fails to allocate<br />
psock->cork.<br />
<br />
The "*copied" also needs to be updated such that a proper error can<br />
be returned to the caller, sendmsg. It fails to allocate psock->cork.<br />
Nothing has been corked so far, so this patch simply sets "*copied"<br />
to 0.<br />
