Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SUNRPC implementation in the svc_tcp_listen_data_ready() function, where the use-after-free vulnerability occurs when a listener socket is freed while a child socket retains a reference to it, leading to potential access of invalid memory.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-07-14 08:20:13 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

SUNRPC: Fix UAF in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready()

After the listener svc_sock is freed, and before invoking svc_tcp_accept()
for the established child sock, there is a window that the newsock
retaining a freed listener svc_sock in sk_user_data which cloning from
parent. In the race window, if data is received on the newsock, we will
observe use-after-free report in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready().

Reproduce by two tasks:

1. while :; do rpc.nfsd 0 ; rpc.nfsd; done
2. while :; do echo "" | ncat -4 127.0.0.1 2049 ; done

Fix the UAF by simply doing nothing in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready()
if state != TCP_LISTEN, that will avoid dereferencing svsk for all
child socket.
