2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Jacek Luczak <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit c182f90bc1f22ce5039b8722e45621d5f96862c2 ] During the sctp_close() call, we do not use rcu primitives to destroy the address list attached to the endpoint. At the same time, we do the removal of addresses from this list before attempting to remove the socket from the port hash As a result, it is possible for another process to find the socket in the port hash that is in the process of being closed. It then proceeds to traverse the address list to find the conflict, only to have that address list suddenly disappear without rcu() critical section. Fix issue by closing address list removal inside RCU critical section. Race can result in a kernel crash with general protection fault or kernel NULL pointer dereference: kernel: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP kernel: RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa02f3dde>] [<ffffffffa02f3dde>] sctp_bind_addr_conflict+0x64/0x82 [sctp] kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [<ffffffffa02f415f>] ? sctp_get_port_local+0x17b/0x2a3 [sctp] kernel: [<ffffffffa02f3d45>] ? sctp_bind_addr_match+0x33/0x68 [sctp] kernel: [<ffffffffa02f4416>] ? sctp_do_bind+0xd3/0x141 [sctp] kernel: [<ffffffffa02f5030>] ? sctp_bindx_add+0x4d/0x8e [sctp] kernel: [<ffffffffa02f5183>] ? sctp_setsockopt_bindx+0x112/0x4a4 [sctp] kernel: [<ffffffff81089e82>] ? generic_file_aio_write+0x7f/0x9b kernel: [<ffffffffa02f763e>] ? sctp_setsockopt+0x14f/0xfee [sctp] kernel: [<ffffffff810c11fb>] ? do_sync_write+0xab/0xeb kernel: [<ffffffff810e82ab>] ? fsnotify+0x239/0x282 kernel: [<ffffffff810c2462>] ? alloc_file+0x18/0xb1 kernel: [<ffffffff8134a0b1>] ? compat_sys_setsockopt+0x1a5/0x1d9 kernel: [<ffffffff8134aaf1>] ? compat_sys_socketcall+0x143/0x1a4 kernel: [<ffffffff810467dc>] ? sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x32 Signed-off-by: Jacek Luczak <[email protected]> Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich <[email protected]> CC: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
