From 5bf369b4470d3618af67b572a82d76b92ce1abd1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 29 Nov 2015 19:37:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: add complete rcu protection around np->opt [ Upstream commit 45f6fad84cc305103b28d73482b344d7f5b76f39 ] This patch addresses multiple problems : UDP/RAW sendmsg() need to get a stable struct ipv6_txoptions while socket is not locked : Other threads can change np->opt concurrently. Dmitry posted a syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller) program desmonstrating use-after-free. Starting with TCP/DCCP lockless listeners, tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() and dccp_v6_request_recv_sock() also need to use RCU protection to dereference np->opt once (before calling ipv6_dup_options()) This patch adds full RCU protection to np->opt Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - Drop changes to l2tp - Fix an additional use of np->opt in tcp_v6_send_synack() - Fold in commit 43264e0bd963 ("ipv6: remove unnecessary codes in tcp_ipv6.c") - Adjust context] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- Reading git-format-patch failed
