bpf: Fix out-of-bounds read of sk_protocol in bpf_sock_destroy()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix out-of-bounds read of sk_protocol in bpf_sock_destroy() sk_protocol lives in struct sock, not in struct sock_common. A timewait or request sock handed to bpf_sock_destroy() by the tcp iterator is neither, so reading sk->sk_protocol runs past the object: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in bpf_sock_destroy+0xc7/0xe0 Read of size 2 at addr ffff8881047d11b4 by task test_progs/428 Tainted: [W]=WARN Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x91/0xf0 print_report+0xd1/0x630 kasan_report+0xf3/0x130 __asan_report_load2_noabort+0x14/0x30 bpf_sock_destroy+0xc7/0xe0 bpf_prog_c3dd61f9d9cd9f37_iter_tcp6_timewait+0x9f/0xb7 bpf_iter_run_prog+0x538/0xde0 bpf_iter_tcp_seq_show+0x26b/0x4b0 bpf_seq_read+0x424/0x1210 vfs_read+0x197/0xe40 ksys_read+0x119/0x240 __x64_sys_read+0x72/0xc0 x64_sys_call+0x647/0x27e0 do_syscall_64+0xe5/0x610 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Only check sk_protocol on full socks. tcp_abort() already knows how to deal with TIME_WAIT and NEW_SYN_RECV socks.
