[RFC PATCH] SUNRPC: Fix UAF in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready()

From: Ding Hui
Date: Sun May 07 2023 - 05:12:26 EST


After the listener svc_sock freed, and before invoking svc_tcp_accept()
for the established child sock, there is a window that the newsock
retaining a freed listener svc_sock in sk_user_data which cloning from
parent. In the race windows if data is received on the newsock, we will
observe use-after-free report in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready().

Reproduce by two tasks:

1. while :; do rpc.nfsd 0 ; rpc.nfsd; done
2. while :; do echo "" | ncat -4 127.0.0.1 2049 ; done

In this RFC patch, I try to fix the UAF by skipping dereferencing
svsk for all child socket in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready(), it is
easy to backport for stable.

However I'm not sure if there are other potential risks in the race
window, so I thought another fix which depends on SK_USER_DATA_NOCOPY
introduced in commit f1ff5ce2cd5e ("net, sk_msg: Clear sk_user_data
pointer on clone if tagged").

Saving svsk into sk_user_data with SK_USER_DATA_NOCOPY tag in
svc_setup_socket() like this:

__rcu_assign_sk_user_data_with_flags(inet, svsk, SK_USER_DATA_NOCOPY);

Obtaining svsk in callbacks like this:

struct svc_sock *svsk = rcu_dereference_sk_user_data(sk);

This will avoid copying sk_user_data for sunrpc svc_sock in
sk_clone_lock(), so the sk_user_data of child sock before accepted
will be NULL.

Appreciate any comment and suggestion, thanks.
