In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp: Fix memory accounting leak.
Matt Dowling reported a weird UDP memory usage issue.
Under normal operation, the UDP memory usage reported in /proc/net/sockstat remains close to zero. However, it occasionally spiked to 524,288 pages and never dropped. Moreover, the value doubled when the application was terminated. Finally, it caused intermittent packet drops.
We can reproduce the issue with the script below [0]:
1. /proc/net/sockstat reports 0 pages
# cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP: UDP: inuse 1 mem 0
2. Run the script till the report reaches 524,288
# python3 test.py & sleep 5 # cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP: UDP: inuse 3 mem 524288 <-- (INT_MAX + 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT
3. Kill the socket and confirm the number never drops
# pkill python3 && sleep 5 # cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP: UDP: inuse 1 mem 524288
4. (necessary since v6.0) Trigger proto_memory_pcpu_drain()
# python3 test.py & sleep 1 && pkill python3
5. The number doubles
# cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP: UDP: inuse 1 mem 1048577
The application set INT_MAX to SO_RCVBUF, which triggered an integer overflow in udp_rmem_release().
When a socket is close()d, udp_destruct_common() purges its receive queue and sums up skb->truesize in the queue. This total is calculated and stored in a local unsigned integer variable.
The total size is then passed to udp_rmem_release()…

Affected: openEuler:20.03-LTS-SP4: kernel
The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself. Security Fix(es):
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: dev: can_get_echo_skb(): prevent call to kfree_skb() in hard IRQ context
If a driver calls can_get_echo_skb() during a hardware IRQ (which is often, but not always, the case), the 'WARN_ON(in_irq)' in net/core/skbuff.c#skb_release_head_state() might be triggered, under network congestion circumstances, together with the potential risk of a NULL pointer dereference.
The root cause of this issue is the call to kfree_skb() instead of dev_kfree_skb_irq() in net/core/dev.c#enqueue_to_backlog().
This patch prevents the skb to be freed within the call to netif_rx() by incrementing its reference count with skb_get(). The skb is finally freed by one of the in-irq-context safe functions: dev_consume_skb_any() or dev_kfree_skb_any(). The "any" version is used because some drivers might call can_get_echo_skb() in a normal context.
The reason for this issue to occur is that initially, in the core network stack, loopback skb were not supposed to be received in hardware IRQ context. The CAN stack is an exeption.
This bug was previously reported back in 2017 in [1] but the proposed patch never got accepted.
While [1] directly modifies net/core/dev.c, we try to propose here a smoother modification local to CAN network stack (the assumption behind is that only CAN devices are affected by this issue).
