Hi there,

I'm just exhilarated to see there have been some new ideas to fix this.


How about we revert back to use bh_lock_sock_nested but use
local_bh_disable like the following patch:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/bluetooth/patch/20210713162838.693266-1-desmondcheongzx@xxxxxxxxx/


I have checked that patch and learn about some `local_bh_disable/enable` usage.
To the best of my knowledge, the local_bh_disable() function can be used to disable the processing of bottom halves (softirqs).
Or in another word, if process context function, hci_sock_sendmsg() for example, can mask the BH (hci_dev_do_close()?). It doesn't need to worry about the UAF.

However, after doing some experiments, I failed :(
For instance, I try to do following patch:

But the POC code shows error message like below:

Hi,

Saw this and thought I'd offer my two cents.

This is the original problem that Tetsuo's patch was trying to fix. Under the hood of lock_sock, we call lock_sock_nested which might sleep because of the mutex_acquire. But we shouldn't sleep while holding the rw spinlock. So we either have to acquire a spinlock instead of a mutex as was done before, or we need to move lock_sock out of the rw spinlock critical section as Tetsuo proposes.


The patch provided by Desmond adds the local_bh_disable() before the bh_lock_sock() so I also try that in

                 read_unlock(&hci_sk_list.lock);
         }

But this is not useful, the UAF still occurs


I might be very mistaken on this, but I believe the UAF still happens because you can't really mix bh_lock_sock* and lock_sock* to protect the same things. The former holds the spinlock &sk->sk_lock.slock and synchronizes between user contexts and bottom halves, while the latter holds a mutex on &sk->sk_lock.dep_map to synchronize between multiple users.

One option I can think of would be to switch instances of lock_sock to bh_lock_sock_nested for users that might race (such as hci_sock_sendmsg, hci_sock_bound_ioctl, and others as needed). But I'm not sure if that's quite what we want, plus we would need to ensure that sleeping functions aren't called between the bh_lock/unlock.

Best wishes,
Desmond

 From my point of view, adding the local_bh_disable() cannot prevent current hci_sock_dev_event() to set and decrease the ref-count. It's not quite similar with the cases that Desmond discussed.
(Or maybe just I don't know how to use this).
> I recently tried to find some similar cases (and I did, reported to
security already but get no reply) and figure out how others are fixed.
Some guideline tells me that (http://books.gigatux.nl/mirror/kerneldevelopment/0672327201/ch07lev1sec6.html)

"If process context code and a bottom half share data, you need to disable bottom-half processing and obtain a lock before accessing the data. Doing both ensures local and SMP protection and prevents a deadlock."

Assuming hci_sock_sendmsg()/hci_sock_bound_ioctl() are the process contexts while the hci_sock_dev_event(), not sure, is the BH context. The fact is that the hci_sock_dev_event() should wait for the process contexts. Hence, I think Tetsuo is on the right way.
