CVE-2024-47711CVE-2024-47711
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Don't return OOB skb in manage_oob().
syzbot reported use-after-free in unix_stream_recv_urg(). [0]
The scenario is
1. send(MSG_OOB)
2. recv(MSG_OOB)
-> The consumed OOB remains in recv queue
3. send(MSG_OOB)
4. recv()
-> manage_oob() returns the next skb of the consumed OOB
-> This is also OOB, but unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb is not cleared
5. recv(MSG_OOB)
-> unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb is used but already freed
The recent commit 8594d9b85c07 ("af_unix: Don't call skb_get() for OOB
skb.") uncovered the issue.
If the OOB skb is consumed and the next skb is peeked in manage_oob(),
we still need to check if the skb is OOB.
Let's do so by falling back to the following checks in manage_oob()
and add the test case in selftest.
Note that we need to add a similar check for SIOCATMARK.
