CVE-2022-49372

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context Laurent reported the enclosed report [1] This bug triggers with following coditions: 0) Kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y 1) A new passive FastOpen TCP socket is created. This FO socket waits for an ACK coming from client to be a complete ESTABLISHED one. 2) A socket operation on this socket goes through lock_sock() release_sock() dance. 3) While the socket is owned by the user in step 2), a retransmit of the SYN is received and stored in socket backlog. 4) At release_sock() time, the socket backlog is processed while in process context. 5) A SYNACK packet is cooked in response of the SYN retransmit. 6) -> tcp_rtx_synack() is called in process context. Before blamed commit, tcp_rtx_synack() was always called from BH handler, from a timer handler. Fix this by using TCP_INC_STATS() & NET_INC_STATS() which do not assume caller is in non preemptible context.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() puede ser llamado desde el contexto del proceso Laurent reportó el informe adjunto [1] Este error se activa con las siguientes condiciones: 0) Kernel construido con CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y 1) Se crea un nuevo socket TCP FastOpen pasivo. Este socket FO espera un ACK proveniente del cliente para ser un ACK ESTABLISHED completo. 2) Una operación de socket en este socket pasa por el baile lock_sock() release_sock(). 3) Mientras el socket es propiedad del usuario en el paso 2), se recibe una retransmisión del SYN y se almacena en el backlog del socket. 4) En el momento release_sock(), el backlog del socket se procesa mientras está en el contexto del proceso. 5) Se cocina un paquete SYNACK en respuesta a la retransmisión de SYN. 6) -&gt; tcp_rtx_synack() se llama en el contexto del proceso. Antes de el commit con culpa, tcp_rtx_synack() siempre se llamaba desde el controlador BH, desde un controlador de temporizador. Corrija esto usando TCP_INC_STATS() y NET_INC_STATS() que no asumen que el llamador está en un contexto no preemptible.
