Subject: sctp: do not free asoc when it is already dead in sctp_sendmsg
From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ca3af4dd28cff4e7216e213ba3b671fbf9f84758 ]
Now in sctp_sendmsg sctp_wait_for_sndbuf could schedule out without
holding sock sk. It means the current asoc can be freed elsewhere,
like when receiving an abort packet.
If the asoc is just created in sctp_sendmsg and sctp_wait_for_sndbuf
returns err, the asoc will be freed again due to new_asoc is not nil.
An use-after-free issue would be triggered by this.
This patch is to fix it by setting new_asoc with nil if the asoc is
already dead when cpu schedules back, so that it will not be freed
again in sctp_sendmsg.
v1->v2:
set new_asoc as nil in sctp_sendmsg instead of sctp_wait_for_sndbuf.
