Subject: net: Set sk_prot_creator when cloning sockets to the right proto
From: Christoph Paasch <cpaasch@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 9d538fa60bad4f7b23193c89e843797a1cf71ef3 ]
sk->sk_prot and sk->sk_prot_creator can differ when the app uses
IPV6_ADDRFORM (transforming an IPv6-socket to an IPv4-one).
Which is why sk_prot_creator is there to make sure that sk_prot_free()
does the kmem_cache_free() on the right kmem_cache slab.
Now, if such a socket gets transformed back to a listening socket (using
connect() with AF_UNSPEC) we will allocate an IPv4 tcp_sock through
sk_clone_lock() when a new connection comes in. But sk_prot_creator will
still point to the IPv6 kmem_cache (as everything got copied in
sk_clone_lock()). When freeing, we will thus put this
memory back into the IPv6 kmem_cache although it was allocated in the
IPv4 cache. I have seen memory corruption happening because of this.
With slub-debugging and MEMCG_KMEM enabled this gives the warning
"cache_from_obj: Wrong slab cache. TCPv6 but object is from TCP"
A C-program to trigger this:
void main(void)
{
int fd = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
int new_fd, newest_fd, client_fd;
struct sockaddr_in6 bind_addr;
struct sockaddr_in bind_addr4, client_addr1, client_addr2;
struct sockaddr unsp;
int val;
memset(&bind_addr, 0, sizeof(bind_addr));
bind_addr.sin6_family = AF_INET6;
bind_addr.sin6_port = ntohs(42424);
memset(&client_addr1, 0, sizeof(client_addr1));
client_addr1.sin_family = AF_INET;
client_addr1.sin_port = ntohs(42424);
client_addr1.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
memset(&client_addr2, 0, sizeof(client_addr2));
client_addr2.sin_family = AF_INET;
client_addr2.sin_port = ntohs(42421);
client_addr2.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
memset(&unsp, 0, sizeof(unsp));
unsp.sa_family = AF_UNSPEC;
bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&bind_addr, sizeof(bind_addr));
listen(fd, 5);
client_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
connect(client_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&client_addr1, sizeof(client_addr1));
new_fd = accept(fd, NULL, NULL);
close(fd);
val = AF_INET;
setsockopt(new_fd, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_ADDRFORM, &val, sizeof(val));
connect(new_fd, &unsp, sizeof(unsp));
memset(&bind_addr4, 0, sizeof(bind_addr4));
bind_addr4.sin_family = AF_INET;
bind_addr4.sin_port = ntohs(42421);
bind(new_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&bind_addr4, sizeof(bind_addr4));
listen(new_fd, 5);
client_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
connect(client_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&client_addr2, sizeof(client_addr2));
newest_fd = accept(new_fd, NULL, NULL);
close(new_fd);
close(client_fd);
close(new_fd);
}
As far as I can see, this bug has been there since the beginning of the
git-days.
