A nonblocking accept() still works because it\nchecks the queue directly, but poll()/epoll_wait() waiters and\nblocking accept() callers can also remain asleep indefinitely.\n\nCall READ_ONCE(nsk->sk_data_ready)(nsk) after a successful migration\nin inet_csk_listen_stop().\n\nHowever, after inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add() succeeds, the ref acquired\nin reuseport_migrate_sock() is effectively transferred to\nnreq->rsk_listener. Another CPU can then dequeue nreq via accept()\nor listener shutdown, hit reqsk_put(), and drop that listener ref.\nSince listeners are SOCK_RCU_FREE, wrap the post-queue_add()\ndereferences of nsk in rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock(), which also\ncovers the existing sock_net(nsk) access in that path.\n\nThe reqsk_timer_handler() path does not need the same changes for two\nreasons: half-open requests become readable only after the final ACK,\nwhere tcp_child_process() already wakes the listener; and once nreq is\nvisible via inet_ehash_insert(), the success path no longer touches\nnsk directly." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only through local socket lifecycle operations — creating an SO_REUSEPORT group, enabling migration, and closing the source listener while accepting/closing the target. A remote peer cannot set up the migration group or drive the race, so the vector is Local.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race (the closing listener via inet_csk_listen_stop and the concurrent accept/close that drops the listener's last ref), and the missed-wakeup half is deterministic; per guidance an attacker-created race is Low.\nPR:L - Migration must be enabled, requiring CAP_NET_ADMIN to set the per-netns net.ipv4.tcp_migrate_req sysctl (or a SK_REUSEPORT/migrate BPF prog), all of which an unprivileged user obtains in a user namespace via unshare -Urn.\nUI:N - Triggering depends only on the attacker's own socket operations; no action by any other user is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free and its impact are confined to the kernel's own memory/security authority with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - Use-after-free of a SOCK_RCU_FREE listener socket lets reallocated/freed memory be read (e.g., via sock_net(nsk)), enabling kernel information disclosure.\nI:H - The freed socket is dereferenced for sock_net(nsk) in __NET_INC_STATS (a pointer-controlled increment) and sk_data_ready(nsk) (a function-pointer call), giving an attacker-influenced write/control-flow primitive after heap grooming.\nA:H - The use-after-free reliably crashes the kernel, and the always-present missed wakeup hangs a listener's accept/poll/epoll
