If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c949678dfd745d62e2a9442d6b05a4549b8b50e1 Author: Shigeru Yoshida <syoshida@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 14 14:09:22 2023 +0900 net: Return error from sk_stream_wait_connect() if sk_wait_event() fails [ Upstream commit cac23b7d7627915d967ce25436d7aae26e88ed06 ] The following NULL pointer dereference issue occurred: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 <...> RIP: 0010:ccid_hc_tx_send_packet net/dccp/ccid.h:166 [inline] RIP: 0010:dccp_write_xmit+0x49/0x140 net/dccp/output.c:356 <...> Call Trace: <TASK> dccp_sendmsg+0x642/0x7e0 net/dccp/proto.c:801 inet_sendmsg+0x63/0x90 net/ipv4/af_inet.c:846 sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:730 [inline] __sock_sendmsg+0x83/0xe0 net/socket.c:745 ____sys_sendmsg+0x443/0x510 net/socket.c:2558 ___sys_sendmsg+0xe5/0x150 net/socket.c:2612 __sys_sendmsg+0xa6/0x120 net/socket.c:2641 __do_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2650 [inline] __se_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2648 [inline] __x64_sys_sendmsg+0x45/0x50 net/socket.c:2648 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:51 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x43/0x110 arch/x86/entry/common.c:82 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0x6b sk_wait_event() returns an error (-EPIPE) if disconnect() is called on the socket waiting for the event. However, sk_stream_wait_connect() returns success, i.e. zero, even if sk_wait_event() returns -EPIPE, so a function that waits for a connection with sk_stream_wait_connect() may misbehave. In the case of the above DCCP issue, dccp_sendmsg() is waiting for the connection. If disconnect() is called in concurrently, the above issue occurs. This patch fixes the issue by returning error from sk_stream_wait_connect() if sk_wait_event() fails.
