| |
2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
commit 4184b2a79a7612a9272ce20d639934584a1f3786 upstream.
A very minimal and simple user space application allocating an SCTP socket, setting SCTP_AUTH_KEY setsockopt(2) on it and then closing the socket again will leak the memory containing the authentication key from user space:
unreferenced object 0xffff8800837047c0 (size 16): comm "a.out", pid 2789, jiffies 4296954322 (age 192.258s) hex dump (first 16 bytes): 01 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff816d7e8e>] kmemleak_alloc+0x4e/0xb0 [<ffffffff811c88d8>] __kmalloc+0xe8/0x270 [<ffffffffa0870c23>] sctp_auth_create_key+0x23/0x50 [sctp] [<ffffffffa08718b1>] sctp_auth_set_key+0xa1/0x140 [sctp] [<ffffffffa086b383>] sctp_setsockopt+0xd03/0x1180 [sctp] [<ffffffff815bfd94>] sock_common_setsockopt+0x14/0x20 [<ffffffff815beb61>] SyS_setsockopt+0x71/0xd0 [<ffffffff816e58a9>] system_call_fastpath+0x12/0x17 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
This is bad because of two things, we can bring down a machine from user space when auth_enable=1, but also we would leave security sensitive keying material in memory without clearing it after use. The issue is that sctp_auth_create_key() already sets the refcount to 1, but after allocation sctp_auth_set_key() does an additional refcount on it, and thus leaving it around when we free the socket.
