🇰🇷 한글 설명
리눅스 커널의 RDS TCP 프로토콜 구현에서 네트워크 네임스페이스가 해제될 때 발생하는 Use-After-Free 취약점입니다. 네트워크 네임스페이스가 제거된 후에도 요청 소켓(reqsk) 타이머 핸들러가 실행되면서 이미 해제된 메모리에 접근하여 시스템 불안정이나 권한 상승을 초래할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
네트워크 환경이 삭제되었음에도 불구하고, 남아있는 작업이 이미 사라진 네트워크 정보를 참조하려고 시도하면서 발생하는 오류입니다. 이로 인해 컴퓨터 시스템이 갑자기 멈추거나 해커가 시스템 제어권을 얻을 위험이 있습니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rds: tcp: Fix use-after-free of net in reqsk_timer_handler().
syzkaller reported a warning of netns tracker [0] followed by KASAN
splat [1] and another ref tracker warning [1].
syzkaller could not find a repro, but in the log, the only suspicious
sequence was as follows:
18:26:22 executing program 1:
r0 = socket$inet6_mptcp(0xa, 0x1, 0x106)
...
connect$inet6(r0, &(0x7f0000000080)={0xa, 0x4001, 0x0, @loopback}, 0x1c) (async)
The notable thing here is 0x4001 in connect(), which is RDS_TCP_PORT.
So, the scenario would be:
1. unshare(CLONE_NEWNET) creates a per netns tcp listener in
rds_tcp_listen_init().
2. syz-executor connect()s to it and creates a reqsk.
3. syz-executor exit()s immediately.
4. netns is dismantled. [0]
5. reqsk timer is fired, and UAF happens while freeing reqsk. [1]
6. listener is freed after RCU grace period. [2]
Basically, reqsk assumes that the listener guarantees netns safety
until all reqsk timers are expired by holding the listener's refcount.
However, this was not the case for kernel sockets.
Commit 740ea3c4a0b2 ("tcp: Clean up kernel listener's reqsk in
inet_twsk_purge()") fixed this issue only for per-netns ehash.
Let's apply the same fix for the global ehash.
