Descripción

*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> net/handshake: Drain pending requests at net namespace exit<br /> <br /> The arguments to list_splice_init() in handshake_net_exit() are<br /> reversed. The call moves the local empty "requests" list onto<br /> hn-&gt;hn_requests, leaving the local list empty, so the subsequent<br /> drain loop runs zero iterations. Pending handshake requests that<br /> had not yet been accepted are not torn down when the net namespace<br /> is destroyed; each one keeps a reference on a socket file and on<br /> the handshake_req allocation.<br /> <br /> Pass the source and destination in the documented order<br /> (list_splice_init(list, head) moves list onto head) so the pending<br /> list is transferred to the local scratch list and drained through<br /> handshake_complete().<br /> <br /> Fixing the splice direction exposes a list-corruption race. After<br /> the splice each req-&gt;hr_list still has non-empty link pointers,<br /> threading the stack-local scratch list rather than hn_requests.<br /> A concurrent handshake_req_cancel() -- for example, from sunrpc&amp;#39;s<br /> TLS timeout on a kernel socket whose netns reference was not<br /> taken -- finds the request through the rhashtable, calls<br /> remove_pending(), and sees !list_empty(&amp;req-&gt;hr_list).<br /> __remove_pending_locked() then list_del_init()s an entry off the<br /> scratch list while the drain iterates, corrupting it. The same<br /> call arriving after the drain loop has run list_del() on an<br /> entry hits LIST_POISON instead.<br /> <br /> Have remove_pending() check HANDSHAKE_F_NET_DRAINING under<br /> hn_lock and report not-found when drain is in progress. The<br /> drain has already taken ownership; handshake_complete()&amp;#39;s existing<br /> test_and_set on HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED still arbitrates<br /> between drain and cancel for who calls the consumer&amp;#39;s hp_done. Use<br /> list_del_init() rather than list_del() in the drain so req-&gt;hr_list<br /> does not carry LIST_POISON after drain releases the entry.<br /> <br /> The DRAINING guard in remove_pending() makes cancel return false,<br /> but cancel still falls through to test_and_set_bit on<br /> HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED and drops the request&amp;#39;s hr_file reference.<br /> Without another pin, if that is the last reference, sk_destruct frees<br /> the request while it is still linked on the drain loop&amp;#39;s local list.<br /> Pin each request&amp;#39;s hr_file under hn_lock before releasing the list,<br /> and drop that drain pin after the loop finishes with the request.
