[PATCH v2 2/2] sctp: hold cached endpoints to prevent possible UAF

From: Lee Jones
Date: Fri Dec 17 2021 - 08:46:24 EST


The cause of the resultant dump_stack() reported below is a
dereference of a freed pointer to 'struct sctp_endpoint' in
sctp_sock_dump().

This race condition occurs when a transport is cached into its
associated hash table followed by an endpoint/sock migration to a new
association in sctp_assoc_migrate() prior to their subsequent use in
sctp_diag_dump() which uses sctp_for_each_transport() to walk the hash
table calling into sctp_sock_dump() where the dereference occurs.

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in sctp_sock_dump+0xa8/0x438 [sctp_diag]

To prevent this from happening we need to take a reference to the
to-be-used/dereferenced 'struct sctp_endpoint' (which inherently
holds a reference to the problematic 'struct sock') until such a time
when we know they can be safely released.

When KASAN is not enabled, a similar, but slightly different NULL
pointer derefernce crash occurs later along the thread of execution.
This time in inet_sctp_diag_fill().
