In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: Serialise kcm_sendmsg() for the same socket.
syzkaller reported UAF in kcm_release(). [0]
The scenario is

  1. Thread A builds a skb with MSG_MORE and sets kcm->seq_skb.
  2. Thread A resumes building skb from kcm->seq_skb but is blocked
    by sk_stream_wait_memory()
  3. Thread B calls sendmsg() concurrently, finishes building kcm->seq_skb
    and puts the skb to the write queue
  4. Thread A faces an error and finally frees skb that is already in the
    write queue
  5. kcm_release() does double-free the skb in the write queue
    When a thread is building a MSG_MORE skb, another thread must not touch it.
    Let’s add a per-sk mutex and serialise kcm_sendmsg().
