This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/rose: Fix Use-After-Free in rose_ioctl to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-rose-fix-use-after-free-in-rose_ioctl.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 508918b6ded6045d9095076e392d84e9690f6e1f Author: Hyunwoo Kim <v4bel@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Dec 9 05:05:38 2023 -0500 net/rose: Fix Use-After-Free in rose_ioctl [ Upstream commit 810c38a369a0a0ce625b5c12169abce1dd9ccd53 ] Because rose_ioctl() accesses sk->sk_receive_queue without holding a sk->sk_receive_queue.lock, it can cause a race with rose_accept(). A use-after-free for skb occurs with the following flow. ``` rose_ioctl() -> skb_peek() rose_accept() -> skb_dequeue() -> kfree_skb() ``` Add sk->sk_receive_queue.lock to rose_ioctl() to fix this issue.
