"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\naf_unix: Fix UAF read of tail->len in unix_stream_data_wait()\n\nunix_stream_data_wait() does skb_peek_tail(&sk->sk_receive_queue) without\nholding any lock that prevents SKBs on that queue from being dequeued and\nfreed.\nThis has been the case since commit 79f632c71bea (\"unix/stream: fix\npeeking with an offset larger than data in queue\").\nThe first consequence of this is that the pointer comparison\n`tail != last` can be false even if `last` semantically refers to an\nalready-freed SKB while `tail` is a new SKB allocated at the same address;\nwhich can cause unix_stream_data_wait() to wrongly keep blocking after new\ndata has arrived, but only in a weird scenario where a peeking recv() and\na normal recv() on the same socket are racing, which is probably not a\nreal problem.\n\nBut since commit 2b514574f7e8 (\"net: af_unix: implement splice for stream\naf_unix sockets\"), `tail` is actually dereferenced, which can cause UAF in\nthe following race scenario (where test_setup() runs single-threaded,\nand afterwards, test_thread1() and test_thread2() run concurrently in\ntwo threads:\n```\nstatic int socks[2];\nvoid test_setup(void) {\n socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, socks);\n send(socks[1], \"A\", 1, 0);\n int peekoff = 1;\n setsockopt(socks[0], SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEEK_OFF, &peekoff, sizeof(peekoff));\n}\nvoid test_thread1(void) {\n char dummy;\n recv(socks[0], &dummy, 1, MSG_PEEK);\n}\nvoid test_thread2(void) {\n char dummy;\n recv(socks[0], &dummy, 1, 0);\n shutdown(socks[1], SHUT_WR);\n}\n```\n\nwhen racing like this:\n```\nthread1 thread2\nunix_stream_read_generic\n mutex_lock(&u->iolock)\n skb_peek(&sk->sk_receive_queue)\n skb_peek_next(skb, &sk->sk_receive_queue)\n mutex_unlock(&u->iolock)\n unix_stream_read_generic\n unix_state_lock(sk)\n skb_peek(&sk->sk_receive_queue)\n unix_state_unlock(sk)\n unix_stream_data_wait\n unix_state_lock(sk)\n tail = skb_peek_tail(&sk->sk_receive_queue)\n spin_lock(&sk->sk_receive_queue.lock)\n __skb_unlink(skb, &sk->sk_receive_queue)\n spin_unlock(&sk->sk_receive_queue.lock)\n consume_skb(skb) [frees the SKB]\n `tail != last`: false\n `tail`: true\n `tail->len != last_len` ***UAF***\n```\n\nFix the UAF by removing the read of tail->len; checking tail->len would\nonly make sense if SKBs in the receive queue of a UNIX socket could grow,\nwhich can no longer happen.\n\nKuniyuki explained:\n\n> When commit 869e7c62486e (\"net: af_unix: implement stream sendpage\n> support\") added sendpage() support, data could be appended to the last\n> skb in the receiver's queue.\n>\n> That's why we needed to check if the length of the last skb was changed\n> while waiting for new data in unix_stream_data_wait().\n>\n> However, commit a0dbf5f818f9 (\"af_unix: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES\") and\n> commit 57d44a354a43 (\"unix: Convert unix_stream_sendpage() to use\n> MSG_SPLICE_PAGES\") refactored sendmsg(), and now data is always added\n> to a new skb.\n\nThat means this fix is not suitable for kernels before 6.5."
