Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dccp/tcp: Unhash sk from ehash for tb2 alloc failure after check_estalblished().
syzkaller reported a warning [0] in inet_csk_destroy_sock() with no
repro.
WARN_ON(inet_sk(sk)->inet_num && !inet_csk(sk)->icsk_bind_hash);
However, the syzkaller's log hinted that connect() failed just before
the warning due to FAULT_INJECTION. [1]
When connect() is called for an unbound socket, we search for an
available ephemeral port. If a bhash bucket exists for the port, we
call __inet_check_established() or __inet6_check_established() to check
if the bucket is reusable.
If reusable, we add the socket into ehash and set inet_sk(sk)->inet_num.
Later, we look up the corresponding bhash2 bucket and try to allocate
it if it does not exist.
Although it rarely occurs in real use, if the allocation fails, we must
revert the changes by check_established(). Otherwise, an unconnected
socket could illegally occupy an ehash entry.
Note that we do not put tw back into ehash because sk might have
already responded to a packet for tw and it would be better to free
tw earlier under such memory presure.
