If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Sun Dec 14 08:37:01 PST 2014 From: Marcelo Leitner <mleitner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 10:02:22 -0200 Subject: Fix race condition between vxlan_sock_add and vxlan_sock_release From: Marcelo Leitner <mleitner@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 00c83b01d58068dfeb2e1351cca6fccf2a83fa8f ] Currently, when trying to reuse a socket, vxlan_sock_add will grab vn->sock_lock, locate a reusable socket, inc refcount and release vn->sock_lock. But vxlan_sock_release() will first decrement refcount, and then grab that lock. refcnt operations are atomic but as currently we have deferred works which hold vs->refcnt each, this might happen, leading to a use after free (specially after vxlan_igmp_leave): CPU 1 CPU 2 deferred work vxlan_sock_add ... ... spin_lock(&vn->sock_lock) vs = vxlan_find_sock(); vxlan_sock_release dec vs->refcnt, reaches 0 spin_lock(&vn->sock_lock) vxlan_sock_hold(vs), refcnt=1 spin_unlock(&vn->sock_lock) hlist_del_rcu(&vs->hlist); vxlan_notify_del_rx_port(vs) spin_unlock(&vn->sock_lock) So when we look for a reusable socket, we check if it wasn't freed already before reusing it.
