- Summary
- nfc: llcp: Fix memleak in nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: llcp: Fix memleak in nfcllcpsenduiframe().
syzbot reported various memory leaks related to NFC, struct nfcllcpsock, skbuff, nfcdev, etc. [0]
The leading log hinted that nfcllcpsenduiframe() failed to allocate skb due to sock_error(sk) being -ENXIO.
ENXIO is set by nfcllcpsocketrelease() when struct nfcllcplocal is destroyed by localcleanup().
The problem is that there is no synchronisation between nfcllcpsenduiframe() and localcleanup(), and skb could be put into local->txqueue after it was purged in local_cleanup():
CPU1 CPU2 ---- ---- nfcllcpsenduiframe() localcleanup() |- do { ' |- pdu = nfcallocsendskb(..., &err) | . | |- nfcllcpsocketrelease(local, false, ENXIO); | |- skbqueuepurge(&local->txqueue); | | ' | |- skbqueuetail(&local->txqueue, pdu); | ... | |- pdu = nfcallocsendskb(..., &err) | ^._________________________________.'
localcleanup() is called for struct nfcllcplocal only after nfcllcpremovelocal() unlinks it from llcp_devices.
If we hold local->txqueue.lock then, we can synchronise the thread and nfcllcpsendui_frame().
Let's do that and check listempty(&local->list) before queuing skb to local->txqueue in nfcllcpsenduiframe().
