🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 KCM(Kernel Connection Multiplexor) 모듈에서 발생하는 Use-After-Free(UAF) 취약점입니다. 여러 스레드가 동시에 kcm_sendmsg()를 호출할 때 동기화가 이루어지지 않아, 이미 해제된 skb(socket buffer)를 다시 해제하는 Double-Free 문제가 발생할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
데이터를 보내는 과정에서 여러 작업이 동시에 같은 통로를 사용하려고 할 때, 이미 사용이 끝난 데이터를 다시 지우려고 시도하면서 시스템 오류가 발생하는 문제입니다.
🇺🇸 원문 (English)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: Serialise kcm_sendmsg() for the same socket.
syzkaller reported UAF in kcm_release(). [0]
The scenario is
1. Thread A builds a skb with MSG_MORE and sets kcm->seq_skb.
2. Thread A resumes building skb from kcm->seq_skb but is blocked
by sk_stream_wait_memory()
3. Thread B calls sendmsg() concurrently, finishes building kcm->seq_skb
and puts the skb to the write queue
4. Thread A faces an error and finally frees skb that is already in the
write queue
5. kcm_release() does double-free the skb in the write queue
When a thread is building a MSG_MORE skb, another thread must not touch it.
Let's add a per-sk mutex and serialise kcm_sendmsg().
