Kuniyuki Iwashima c89dffc70b tcp: Fix potential use-after-free due to double kfree()
Receiving ACK with a valid SYN cookie, cookie_v4_check() allocates struct
request_sock and then can allocate inet_rsk(req)->ireq_opt. After that,
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() allocates struct sock and copies ireq_opt to
inet_sk(sk)->inet_opt. Normally, tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() inserts the full
socket into ehash and sets NULL to ireq_opt. Otherwise,
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() has to reset inet_opt by NULL and free the full
socket.

The commit 01770a1661 ("tcp: fix race condition when creating child
sockets from syncookies") added a new path, in which more than one cores
create full sockets for the same SYN cookie. Currently, the core which
loses the race frees the full socket without resetting inet_opt, resulting
in that both sock_put() and reqsk_put() call kfree() for the same memory:

  sock_put
    sk_free
      __sk_free
        sk_destruct
          __sk_destruct
            sk->sk_destruct/inet_sock_destruct
              kfree(rcu_dereference_protected(inet->inet_opt, 1));

  reqsk_put
    reqsk_free
      __reqsk_free
        req->rsk_ops->destructor/tcp_v4_reqsk_destructor
          kfree(rcu_dereference_protected(inet_rsk(req)->ireq_opt, 1));

Calling kmalloc() between the double kfree() can lead to use-after-free, so
this patch fixes it by setting NULL to inet_opt before sock_put().

As a side note, this kind of issue does not happen for IPv6. This is
because tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() clones both ipv6_opt and pktopts which
correspond to ireq_opt in IPv4.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
