[PATCH 0/4] Fix UAF caused by racing datagram sending and freeing of nfc_dev

[Siddh Raman Pant]

(This patchset should be applied in order as changes are dependent.)

For connectionless transmission, llcp_sock_sendmsg() codepath will
eventually call nfc_alloc_send_skb() which takes in an nfc_dev as
an argument for calculating the total size for skb allocation.

virtual_ncidev_close() codepath eventually releases socket by calling
nfc_llcp_socket_release() (which sets the sk->sk_state to LLCP_CLOSED)
and afterwards the nfc_dev will be eventually freed.

When an ndev gets freed, llcp_sock_sendmsg() will result in an
use-after-free as it

(1) doesn't have any checks in place for avoiding the datagram sending.

(2) calls nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame(), which also has a do-while loop which
    can race with freeing (a msg with size of 4096 is sent in chunks of
    128 in this repro). This loop contains the call to nfc_alloc_send_skb().

Thus, I extracted nfc_dev access from nfc_alloc_send_skb() to the caller,
and used a spinlock (rwlock) to protect/serialize access to the nfc_dev to
avoid the UAF. Tested with syzkaller.

Since state has to be LLCP_BOUND for datagram sending, we can bail out early
in llcp_sock_sendmsg().

The last patch is just a code reformat. As the datagram sending is a bigger
chunk of the code, we can reduce unnecessary indentation.

Please review and let me know if any errors are there, and hopefully this
gets accepted.

Thanks,
Siddh

  nfc: Extract nfc_dev access from nfc_alloc_send_skb() into the callers
  nfc: Protect access to nfc_dev in an llcp_sock with a rwlock
  nfc: Do not send datagram if socket state isn't LLCP_BOUND
  nfc: llcp_sock_sendmsg: Reformat code to make the smaller block
    indented
