In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: hold socket lock when dumping endpoints in sctp_diag SCTP_DIAG endpoint dumping was traversing endpoint address lists without holding lock_sock(), while those lists could change concurrently via socket operations (e.g., bindx changes). This creates a race where nla_reserve() counts addresses under RCU protection, but the subsequent copy may see fewer entries, potentially leaking uninitialized memory to userspace. Fix this by:
- Taking a reference on each endpoint during hash traversal
- Moving socket operations (lock_sock()) outside read_lock_bh()
- Serializing address list access during dump
- Reworking sctp_for_each_endpoint() to support restart-based traversal with (net, pos) tracking Also:
- Add WARN_ON_ONCE() for inconsistent address counts
- Fix idiag_states filtering for LISTEN vs association cases
- Skip dumping endpoints being freed (ep->base.dead)
- Move dump position tracking into iterator, removing cb->args[4] and its comment for sctp_ep_dump().,
- Update the comment for cb->args[4] and remove the comment for unused
cb->args[5] for sctp_sock_dump().
Note: traversal is restart-based and may re-scan buckets multiple times,
but this is acceptable due to small bucket sizes and required to support
sleeping-safe callbacks.
This issue was reported by Nico Yip (@cyeaa) working with TrendAI Zero
Day Initiative.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) diagnostic (SCTP_DIAG) endpoint dumping mechanism. A race condition occurs when address lists are traversed without holding the necessary socket lock, allowing concurrent modifications. A local attacker could exploit this to potentially leak uninitialized memory from the kernel to userspace, leading to information disclosure.
