Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Don't move a peeked OOB message onto the pending queue
rxrpc_recvmsg_oob() takes a received oob message off recvmsg_oobq and,
if a response is needed, moves it onto the pending_oobq tree. However,
only the unlink from recvmsg_oobq is guarded by MSG_PEEK; the move onto
pending_oobq always runs.
As a result, reading a challenge with MSG_PEEK leaves the skb on
recvmsg_oobq while also adding it to pending_oobq. Since struct
sk_buff's rbnode shares storage with its next and prev pointers,
rb_insert_color() overwrites the list linkage, and the skb, which holds
a single reference, becomes reachable from both queues at once.
When the socket is closed both queues are drained in turn. While
draining recvmsg_oobq, __skb_unlink() follows the next and prev
pointers that rbnode has overwritten and writes to a bad address. Also,
as the skb holds a single reference but is freed from each queue, both
the skb and the connection reference it holds are released twice. This
leads to memory corruption and to a use-after-free caused by the
connection refcount underflow.
MSG_PEEK does not consume the message from the queue, so only unlink it
from recvmsg_oobq and then move it onto pending_oobq or free it when
the message is actually consumed.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rxrpc subsystem. When an out-of-band (OOB) message is read using the MSG_PEEK flag in the rxrpc_recvmsg_oob() function, the message is incorrectly left on one queue while also being added to another. This can lead to the message being freed twice when the socket is closed, resulting in memory corruption and a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could exploit this to cause system instability or potentially execute arbitrary code.
