"The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-50154 advisory.
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp/dccp: Don't use timer_pending() in
reqsk_queue_unlink(). Martin KaFai Lau reported use-after-free [0] in reqsk_timer_handler(). We are
seeing a use-after-free from a bpf prog attached to trace_tcp_retransmit_synack. The program passes the
req->sk to the bpf_sk_storage_get_tracing kernel helper which does check for null before using it. The
commit 83fccfc3940c (inet: fix potential deadlock in reqsk_queue_unlink()) added timer_pending() in
reqsk_queue_unlink() not to call del_timer_sync() from reqsk_timer_handler(), but it introduced a small
race window. Before the timer is called, expire_timers() calls detach_timer(timer, true) to clear
timer->entry.pprev and marks it as not pending. If reqsk_queue_unlink() checks timer_pending() just after
expire_timers() calls detach_timer(), TCP will miss del_timer_sync(); the reqsk timer will continue
running and send multiple SYN+ACKs until it expires. The reported UAF could happen if req->sk is close()d
earlier than the timer expiration, which is 63s by default. The scenario would be 1.
inet_csk_complete_hashdance() calls inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop(), but del_timer_sync() is missed 2. reqsk
timer is executed and scheduled again 3. req->sk is accept()ed and reqsk_put() decrements rsk_refcnt, but
reqsk timer still has another one, and inet_csk_accept() does not clear req->sk for non-TFO sockets 4. sk
is close()d 5. reqsk timer is executed again, and BPF touches req->sk Let's not use timer_pending() by
passing the caller context to __inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop(). Note that reqsk timer is pinned, so the issue
does not happen in most use cases. [1] [0] BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in
