From 69e16d01d1de4f1249869de342915f608feb55d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gong, Sishuai" Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2021 15:04:24 +0000 Subject: net: fix a concurrency bug in l2tp_tunnel_register() l2tp_tunnel_register() registers a tunnel without fully initializing its attribute. This can allow another kernel thread running l2tp_xmit_core() to access the uninitialized data and then cause a kernel NULL pointer dereference error, as shown below. Thread 1 Thread 2 //l2tp_tunnel_register() list_add_rcu(&tunnel->list, &pn->l2tp_tunnel_list); //pppol2tp_connect() tunnel = l2tp_tunnel_get(sock_net(sk), info.tunnel_id); // Fetch the new tunnel ... //l2tp_xmit_core() struct sock *sk = tunnel->sock; ... bh_lock_sock(sk); //Null pointer error happens tunnel->sock = sk; Fix this bug by initializing tunnel->sock before adding the tunnel into l2tp_tunnel_list.
