Hello,

I am seeing the following use-after-free report while running
syzkaller fuzzer on

This one looks very similar to a previous one:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/syzkaller/BhyN5OFd7sQ

Both happen on raw v6 sockets.

For me, it seems the sk refcnt is not correct, skb should still hold
a refcnt so it should not be freed before kfree_skb() in a timer
handler...

More precisely, after this commit:

commit 2b85a34e911bf483c27cfdd124aeb1605145dc80
Author: Eric Dumazet <eric.d...@gmail.com>
Date: Thu Jun 11 02:55:43 2009 -0700

net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx

we don't take (old) refcnt any more on TX path, sk_wmem_alloc
is the new refcnt. ;)

So the bug is that skb->truesize is mangled by reassembly unit,
while sbk->sk is tracking sk_wmem_alloc changes in order
to decide when it is safe to free sk.

This is why we need to call skb_orphan(), as we did for IPv4 in
8282f27449bf15548

That is my suspicion as well, skb->truesize is updated somewhere
but sk->sk_wmem_alloc isn't, so leads to this bug.

But I doubt skb_orphan() is the solution here, shouldn't we just
update sk->sk_wmem_alloc with skb->truesize changes?

Is it worth it ? Apart from syszkaller I mean...

We started with something that had a real impact on real workloads.

158f323b9868b59967ad96957c4ca388161be321 net: adjust skb->truesize in
pskb_expand_head()

Note that auditing the stack took me a while.

I don't know how sk refcnt could work correctly without making
sk_wmem_alloc correctly. We certainly could just call skb_orphan()
is we don't need skb->sk any more, probably like the frag case,
but for this case, the neigh one, the skb's sitting in neigh->arp_queue
are not going to be freed unless in failed case, therefore skb->sk
should not be orphaned so early.

There is absolutely no issue in arp/nd case.
Many skbs can sit there and it is fine.
Same with skbs sitting a long time in a qdisc.

Of course we try to not call skb_orphan() unless really needed.

tcp_gso_segment() tries very hard to propagate skb ownership to the segments,
but even something apparently easy like that took some patches before
being done right.

(for details : 0d08c42cf9a71530fef5ebcfe368f38f2dd0476f "tcp: gso: fix
truesize tracking")

conntrack reasm is mostly used in forwarding workloads, where skb->sk
is already NULL.

Are you thinking of a real workload where skb->sk _needs_ to be kept
in ipv6 reasm ?
