tcp: drop skb dst in tcp_rcv_established()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In commit f84af32 ("net: ip_queue_rcv_skb() helper")
I dropped the skb dst in tcp_data_queue().

This only dealt with so-called TCP input slow path.

When fast path is taken, tcp_rcv_established() calls
tcp_queue_rcv() while skb still has a dst.

This was mostly fine, because most dsts at this point
are not refcounted (thanks to early demux)

However, TCP packets sent over loopback have refcounted dst.

Then commit 68822bd ("net: generalize skb freeing
deferral to per-cpu lists") came and had the effect
of delaying skb freeing for an arbitrary time.

If during this time the involved netns is dismantled, cleanup_net()
frees the struct net with embedded net->ipv6.ip6_dst_ops.

Then when eventually dst_destroy_rcu() is called,
if (dst->ops->destroy) ... triggers an use-after-free.

It is not clear if ip6_route_net_exit() lacks a rcu_barrier()
as syzbot reported similar issues before the blamed commit.
