From: Cong Wang Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2017 20:19:55 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mqueue: fix a use-after-free in sys_mq_notify() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f991af3daabaecff34684fd51fac80319d1baad1;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mqueue: fix a use-after-free in sys_mq_notify() The retry logic for netlink_attachskb() inside sys_mq_notify() is nasty and vulnerable: 1) The sock refcnt is already released when retry is needed 2) The fd is controllable by user-space because we already release the file refcnt so we when retry but the fd has been just closed by user-space during this small window, we end up calling netlink_detachskb() on the error path which releases the sock again, later when the user-space closes this socket a use-after-free could be triggered. Setting 'sock' to NULL here should be sufficient to fix it.
