net/x25: Fix null-ptr-deref caused by x25_disconnect
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 7781607 ]

When the link layer is terminating, x25->neighbour will be set to NULL
in x25_disconnect(). As a result, it could cause null-ptr-deref bugs in
x25_sendmsg(),x25_recvmsg() and x25_connect(). One of the bugs is
shown below.

    (Thread 1)                 |  (Thread 2)
x25_link_terminated()          | x25_recvmsg()
 x25_kill_by_neigh()           |  ...
  x25_disconnect()             |  lock_sock(sk)
   ...                         |  ...
   x25->neighbour = NULL //(1) |
   ...                         |  x25->neighbour->extended //(2)

The code sets NULL to x25->neighbour in position (1) and dereferences
x25->neighbour in position (2), which could cause null-ptr-deref bug.

This patch adds lock_sock() in x25_kill_by_neigh() in order to synchronize
with x25_sendmsg(), x25_recvmsg() and x25_connect(). What`s more, the
sock held by lock_sock() is not NULL, because it is extracted from x25_list
and uses x25_list_lock to synchronize.
