In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp:
Use refcount_inc_not_zero() in tcp_twsk_unique(). Anderson Nascimento
reported a use-after-free splat in tcp_twsk_unique() with nice analysis.
Since commit ec94c2696f0b (“tcp/dccp: avoid one atomic operation for
timewait hashdance”), inet_twsk_hashdance() sets TIME-WAIT socket’s
sk_refcnt after putting it into ehash and releasing the bucket lock. Thus,
there is a small race window where other threads could try to reuse the
port during connect() and call sock_hold() in tcp_twsk_unique() for the
TIME-WAIT socket with zero refcnt. If that happens, the refcnt taken by
tcp_twsk_unique() is overwritten and sock_put() will cause underflow,
triggering a real use-after-free somewhere else. To avoid the
use-after-free, we need to use refcount_inc_not_zero() in tcp_twsk_unique()
and give up on reusing the port if it returns false. [0]: refcount_t:
addition on 0; use-after-free. WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1039313 at
