[PATCH v4] net: rose: fix null-ptr-deref caused by rose_kill_by_neigh

From: Duoming Zhou
Date: Wed Jun 29 2022 - 06:50:32 EST


When the link layer connection is broken, the rose->neighbour is
set to null. But rose->neighbour could be used by rose_connection()
and rose_release() later, because there is no synchronization among
them. As a result, the null-ptr-deref bugs will happen.

One of the null-ptr-deref bugs is shown below:

(thread 1) | (thread 2)
| rose_connect
rose_kill_by_neigh | lock_sock(sk)
spin_lock_bh(&rose_list_lock) | if (!rose->neighbour)
rose->neighbour = NULL;//(1) |
| rose->neighbour->use++;//(2)

The rose->neighbour is set to null in position (1) and dereferenced
in position (2).

The KASAN report triggered by POC is shown below:

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000028-0x000000000000002f]

This patch adds lock_sock() in rose_kill_by_neigh() in order to
synchronize with rose_connect() and rose_release().

Meanwhile, this patch adds sock_hold() protected by rose_list_lock
that could synchronize with rose_remove_socket() in order to mitigate
UAF bug caused by lock_sock() we add.

What's more, there is no need using rose_neigh_list_lock to protect
rose_kill_by_neigh(). Because we have already used rose_neigh_list_lock
to protect the state change of rose_neigh in rose_link_failed(), which
is well synchronized.
