Re: Use-after-free access in j1939_session_deactivate

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



j1939_session_destroy() will free both session and session->priv. It
leads to multiple use-after-free read and write in
j1939_session_deactivate() when session was freed in
j1939_session_deactivate_locked(). The free chain is
j1939_session_deactivate_locked()->
j1939_session_put()->__j1939_session_release()->j1939_session_destroy().
To fix this bug, I moved j1939_session_put() behind
j1939_session_deactivate_locked() and guarded it with a check of
active since the session would be freed only if active is true.
