ax25: improve the incomplete fix to avoid UAF and NPD bugs
The previous commit 1ade48d0c27d ("ax25: NPD bug when detaching AX25 device") introduce lock_sock() into ax25_kill_by_device to prevent NPD bug. But the concurrency NPD or UAF bug will occur, when lock_sock() or release_sock() dereferences the ax25_cb->sock. The NULL pointer dereference bug can be shown as below: ax25_kill_by_device() | ax25_release() | ax25_destroy_socket() | ax25_cb_del() ... | ... | ax25->sk=NULL; lock_sock(s->sk); //(1) | s->ax25_dev = NULL; | ... release_sock(s->sk); //(2) | ... | The root cause is that the sock is set to null before dereference site (1) or (2). Therefore, this patch extracts the ax25_cb->sock in advance, and uses ax25_list_lock to protect it, which can synchronize with ax25_cb_del() and ensure the value of sock is not null before dereference sites. The concurrency UAF bug can be shown as below: ax25_kill_by_device() | ax25_release() | ax25_destroy_socket() ... | ... | sock_put(sk); //FREE lock_sock(s->sk); //(1) | s->ax25_dev = NULL; | ... release_sock(s->sk); //(2) | ... | The root cause is that the sock is released before dereference site (1) or (2). Therefore, this patch uses sock_hold() to increase the refcount of sock and uses ax25_list_lock to protect it, which can synchronize with ax25_cb_del() in ax25_destroy_socket() and ensure the sock wil not be released before dereference sites.
