[PATCH 4.14 124/126] tuntap: fix use after free during release

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 17 2018 - 19:06:51 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7063efd33bb15abc0160347f89eb5aba6b7d000e upstream.

After commit b196d88aba8a ("tun: fix use after free for ptr_ring") we
need clean up tx ring during release(). But unfortunately, it tries to
do the cleanup blindly after socket were destroyed which will lead
another use-after-free. Fix this by doing the cleanup before dropping
the last reference of the socket in __tun_detach().

Backport Note :-
Upstream commit moves the ptr_ring_cleanup call from tun_chr_close to
__tun_detach. Upstream applied that patch after replacing skb_array with
ptr_ring. This patch moves the skb_array_cleanup call from
tun_chr_close to __tun_detach.
