[ Upstream commit dbbf2d1e4077bab0c65ece2765d3fc69cf7d610f ] tcp_write_queue_purge clears all the SKBs in the write queue but does not reset the sk_send_head. As a result, we can have a NULL pointer dereference anywhere that we use tcp_send_head instead of the tcp_write_queue_tail. For example, after a27fd7a8ed38 (tcp: purge write queue upon RST), we can purge the write queue on RST. Prior to 75c119afe14f (tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queue), tcp_push will only check tcp_send_head and then accesses tcp_write_queue_tail to send the actual SKB. As a result, it will dereference a NULL pointer. This has been reported twice for 4.14 where we don't have 75c119afe14f: By Timofey Titovets: [ 422.081094] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000038 [ 422.081254] IP: tcp_push+0x42/0x110 [ 422.081314] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 422.081364] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP PTI By Yongjian Xu: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000038 IP: tcp_push+0x48/0x120 PGD 80000007ff77b067 P4D 80000007ff77b067 PUD 7fd989067 PMD 0 Oops: 0002 [#18] SMP PTI Modules linked in: tcp_diag inet_diag tcp_bbr sch_fq iTCO_wdt iTCO_vendor_support pcspkr ixgbe mdio i2c_i801 lpc_ich joydev input_leds shpchp e1000e igb dca ptp pps_core hwmon mei_me mei ipmi_si ipmi_msghandler sg ses scsi_transport_sas enclosure ext4 jbd2 mbcache sd_mod ahci libahci megaraid_sas wmi ast ttm dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod dax CPU: 6 PID: 14156 Comm: [ET_NET 6] Tainted: G D 4.14.26-1.el6.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: LENOVO ThinkServer RD440 /ThinkServer RD440, BIOS A0TS80A 09/22/2014 task: ffff8807d78d8140 task.stack: ffffc9000e944000 RIP: 0010:tcp_push+0x48/0x120 RSP: 0018:ffffc9000e947a88 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 00000000000005b4 RBX: ffff880f7cce9c00 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000040 RDI: ffff8807d00f5000 RBP: ffffc9000e947aa8 R08: 0000000000001c84 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffff8807d00f5158 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff8807d00f5000 R13: 0000000000000020 R14: 00000000000256d4 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 00007f5916de9700(0000) GS:ffff88107fd00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000038 CR3: 00000007f8226004 CR4: 00000000001606e0 Call Trace: tcp_sendmsg_locked+0x33d/0xe50 tcp_sendmsg+0x37/0x60 inet_sendmsg+0x39/0xc0 sock_sendmsg+0x49/0x60 sock_write_iter+0xb6/0x100 do_iter_readv_writev+0xec/0x130 ? rw_verify_area+0x49/0xb0 do_iter_write+0x97/0xd0 vfs_writev+0x7e/0xe0 ? __wake_up_common_lock+0x80/0xa0 ? __fget_light+0x2c/0x70 ? __do_page_fault+0x1e7/0x530 do_writev+0x60/0xf0 ? inet_shutdown+0xac/0x110 SyS_writev+0x10/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x6f/0x140 ? prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x8b/0xa0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2 RIP: 0033:0x3135ce0c57 RSP: 002b:00007f5916de4b00 EFLAGS: 00000293 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000014 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000003135ce0c57 RDX: 0000000000000002 RSI: 00007f5916de4b90 RDI: 000000000000606f RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 00007f5916de8c38 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000293 R12: 00000000000464cc R13: 00007f5916de8c30 R14: 00007f58d8bef080 R15: 0000000000000002 Code: 48 8b 97 60 01 00 00 4c 8d 97 58 01 00 00 41 b9 00 00 00 00 41 89 f3 4c 39 d2 49 0f 44 d1 41 81 e3 00 80 00 00 0f 85 b0 00 00 00 <80> 4a 38 08 44 8b 8f 74 06 00 00 44 89 8f 7c 06 00 00 83 e6 01 RIP: tcp_push+0x48/0x120 RSP: ffffc9000e947a88 CR2: 0000000000000038 ---[ end trace 8d545c2e93515549 ]--- There is other scenario which found in stable 4.4: Allocated: [<ffffffff82f380a6>] __alloc_skb+0xe6/0x600 net/core/skbuff.c:218 [<ffffffff832466c3>] alloc_skb_fclone include/linux/skbuff.h:856 [inline] [<ffffffff832466c3>] sk_stream_alloc_skb+0xa3/0x5d0 net/ipv4/tcp.c:833 [<ffffffff83249164>] tcp_sendmsg+0xd34/0x2b00 net/ipv4/tcp.c:1178 [<ffffffff83300ef3>] inet_sendmsg+0x203/0x4d0 net/ipv4/af_inet.c:755 Freed: [<ffffffff82f372fd>] __kfree_skb+0x1d/0x20 net/core/skbuff.c:676 [<ffffffff83288834>] sk_wmem_free_skb include/net/sock.h:1447 [inline] [<ffffffff83288834>] tcp_write_queue_purge include/net/tcp.h:1460 [inline] [<ffffffff83288834>] tcp_connect_init net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:3122 [inline] [<ffffffff83288834>] tcp_connect+0xb24/0x30c0 net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:3261 [<ffffffff8329b991>] tcp_v4_connect+0xf31/0x1890 net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:246 BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in tcp_skb_pcount include/net/tcp.h:796 [inline] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in tcp_init_tso_segs net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:1619 [inline] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in tcp_write_xmit+0x3fc2/0x4cb0 net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2056 [<ffffffff81515cd5>] kasan_report.cold.7+0x175/0x2f7 mm/kasan/report.c:408 [<ffffffff814f9784>] __asan_report_load2_noabort+0x14/0x20 mm/kasan/report.c:427 [<ffffffff83286582>] tcp_skb_pcount include/net/tcp.h:796 [inline] [<ffffffff83286582>] tcp_init_tso_segs net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:1619 [inline] [<ffffffff83286582>] tcp_write_xmit+0x3fc2/0x4cb0 net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2056 [<ffffffff83287a40>] __tcp_push_pending_frames+0xa0/0x290 net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2307 stable 4.4 and stable 4.9 don't have the commit abb4a8b870b5 ("tcp: purge write queue upon RST") which is referred in dbbf2d1e4077, in tcp_connect_init, it calls tcp_write_queue_purge, and does not reset sk_send_head, then UAF. stable 4.14 have the commit abb4a8b870b5 ("tcp: purge write queue upon RST"), in tcp_reset, it calls tcp_write_queue_purge(sk), and does not reset sk_send_head, then UAF.
