It's in the 'net' tree. Which hasn't been pulled into 'net-next' for
a few days.

I don't think this matters... I think what's happening is that a close is happening on a
socket still in connection initialization phase and we've never handled that particularly
well...

Net-next kernel with mem debugging hangs on boot for me with a ton of printks suppressed.
Will try the net kernel to see if that's better

By any chance, did you have the pr_debug()s enabled?
Because that would trigger a use-after-free on debug_post_sfx()
macro expansion when the asoc is freed:

#define debug_post_sfx() \
pr_debug("%s[post-sfx]: error:%d, asoc:%p[%s]\n", __func__, error, \
asoc, sctp_state_tbl[(asoc && sctp_id2assoc(ep->base.sk, \
sctp_assoc2id(asoc))) ? asoc->state : SCTP_STATE_CLOSED])

No, I don't. But pr_debug always computes its arguments. See no_printk
in printk.h. So this use-after-free happens for all users.

Hmm.

pr_debug() should be a nop unless either DEBUG or CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG are set

On our production kernels, pr_debug() is a nop.

Can you double check ? Thanks !

Why should it be nop? no_printk thing in printk.h pretty much
explicitly makes it not a nop...

Double-checked: debug_post_sfx leads to some generated code:

Oups. I was under that impression too, that it would do sanity-check
while being optimized out.

I'll think on a fix for this.

These two are unrelated, actually.

Do you know if this accept() returned something? Seems so.
Seems to be originated on
sctp_v6_create_accept_sk() -> sctp_copy_sock():

void sctp_copy_sock(struct sock *newsk, struct sock *sk,
struct sctp_association *asoc)
{
struct inet_sock *inet = inet_sk(sk);
struct inet_sock *newinet;

newsk->sk_type = sk->sk_type;
newsk->sk_bound_dev_if = sk->sk_bound_dev_if;
newsk->sk_flags = sk->sk_flags; <---

As it enabled SO_TIMESTAMP on listening socket, this flag will be copied and
will trigger the second net_disable_timestamp() by the time the second
socket is destroyed, because it never had its enable counterpart called.

This also happens via sctp peeloff operation.

This is a serious concern, because we let in the past lot of patches
converting traditional

#ifdef DEBUG
# define some_hand_coded_ugly_debug() printk( ...._
#else
# define some_hand_coded_ugly_debug()
#endif

On the premise pr_debug() would be a nop.

It seems it is not always the case. This is a very serious problem.

We probably have hundred of potential bugs, because few people
actually make sure all debugging stuff is correct,
like comments can be wrong because they are not updated properly as time flies.

It is definitely a nop for many cases.

I would expect that it is nop when argument evaluation does not have
side-effects. For example, for a load of a variable compiler will most
likely elide it (though, it does not have to elide it, because the
load is spelled in the code, so it can also legally emit the load and
doesn't use the result).
But if argument computation has side-effect (or compiler can't prove
otherwise), it must emit code. It must emit code for function calls
when the function is defined in a different translation unit, and for
volatile accesses (most likely including atomic accesses), etc

Vlad, others,

It's been a long time but this was introduced by commit 914e1c8b6980
("sctp: Inherit all socket options from parent correctly."). This is not
very consistent with how other protocols work and it will be hard to
keep tracking a negative mask of flags that we can't copy.

I reviewed the list of options and I'm thinking that only
SO_BINDTODEVICE is worth copying, leaving the others for the application
to re-set, as it is for other protocols. So I'm thinking on simply:

- newsk->sk_flags = sk->sk_flags;
+ newsk->sk_flags = sk->sk_flags & SO_BINDTODEVICE;

in the above.

What do you think?

I think SO_BINDTODEVICE is not a flag ;)

#define SO_BINDTODEVICE 25

Hmm... sk_clone_lock() appears to copy the flags as well, so it would
appear the tcp accept() sockets would also have timestamping set.

I can see how we probably shouldn't being copying sk_flags as there isn't
much there that need to be set.

Ahh right, through a memcpy. I completely missed that.

And later on it does:
if (sock_needs_netstamp(sk) &&
newsk->sk_flags & SK_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP)
net_enable_timestamp();

I take that back then, we can enable timestamp like the above instead.
I'll test and post a patch soon.

Because it was until commit 5264f2f75d8. It also violates my reading of
the following from printk.h:

* All of these will print unconditionally, although note that pr_debug()
* and other debug macros are compiled out unless either DEBUG is defined

This isn't 100% true. As you state, in order to reach the return 0, all
side effects must be evaluated. Load generally does not have side
effects, so it can be safely elided, but function() must be emitted.

However, that is _not_ required to get the desired warning emission on a
printf argument function, see http://pastebin.com/UHuaydkj for an
example.

I think that as a minimum, the following patch should be evaluted, but am
unsure to whom I should submit it (after I test):

More common is to use do {} while (0) instead of a
statement expression.

I think it'd be good to change pr_debug and variants to
do { if (0) no_printk(...) } while (0)
or some other form that completely eliminates all the
side-effects/function evaluations.

I think the same should be true when CONFIG_PRINTK is
not enabled.

Agreed - the intention here is certainly to have no side effects. It
looks like 'no_printk()' is used in quite a few other places that would
benefit from this change. So we probably want a generic
'really_no_printk()' macro.

I don't see this in the tree. Also maybe we should just convert
no_printk() to do what your 'eliminated_printk()'. So we can convert all

It never got applied.

Some of them at least.

> So we can convert all users with this change?

I don't think so, I think there are some
function evaluation/side effects that are
required.  I believe some do hardware I/O.

It'd be good to at least isolate them.

I'm not sure how to find them via some
automated tool/mechanism though.

I asked Julia Lawall about it once in this

Seems rather fragile to have side effects that we rely
upon hidden in a printk().

Just convert them and see what breaks :)

Whatever is the resolution for pr_debug, we still need to fix this
particular use-after-free. It affects stability of debug builds, gives
invalid debug output, prevents us from finding more bugs in SCTP. And
maybe somebody uses CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG in production.

FWIW I enabled CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG on my fuzzer. Not that it gives
any particular guarantees, but still can catch some of these.

Agreed. I'm already working on a fix for this particular use-after-free.

Another interesting thing about this is that sctp_do_sm() is called for
nearly every movement that happens on a sctp socket. Said that, that
always-running IDR search hidden on that debug statement do have some
nasty performance impact, specially because it's serialized on a
spinlock. This wouldn't be happening if it was fully ellided and would
be ok if that pr_debug() was really being printed, but not as it is.
Kudos to this report that I could notice this. I'm trying to fix this on
SCTP-side as well.

YUCK! I didn't really pay much attention to those debug macros before, but
debug_post_sfx() is truly awful.

This wasn't such a bad thing where these macros depended on CONFIG_SCTP_DEBUG,
but now that they are always built, we need fix them.

I've proposed a patch to linux-kernel to fix them, but I don't think
it's really as bad as folks imagine. Ubuntu, RHEL, and Fedora all use
DYNAMIC_DEBUG configuration option, which means that the code is getting
emitted anyway (correctly, I'll add) and is shunted out by a dynamic
debug flag. So for the average user, it's not even really a blip.

That does mean there's a cool side-effect of the entire print-macro setup
which implies we execute less code when running with DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y in
the "normal" case. "Turn on the dynamic debugging config and watch
everything get better" isn't the worst mantra, is it? :)

When DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled we have this wrapper from
include/linux/dynamic_debug.h:

if (unlikely(descriptor.flags & _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT))
<do debug stuff>

So the compiler is not emitting the side-effects in this
case.

When DYNAMIC_DEBUG is disabled we are instead replacing
pr_debug() with the 'no_printk()' function as you've pointed
out. We are changing this to emit no code at all:

Huh?  Do I misunderstand what you are writing?

You are testing a variable that is not generally set
so the call is not being performed in the general case,
but the compiler can not elide the code.

If the variable was enabled via the control file, the
__dynamic_pr_debug would be performed with the
use-after-free.

Yes, I wasn't terribly clear - I was trying to say that the
'side-effects', in this case the debug code and use-after-free, are
hidden behind the branch. They aren't invoked unless we enable the debug
statement.

Hi,

These a couple of fixes regarding sctp/packet timestamps.

Dmitry Vyukov <dvy...@google.com> reported the counter leak on missing
net_enable_timestamp() (2nd patch) and further testing here revealed the
other two issues.

Please consider these to -stable.

Thanks!

sctp: update the netstamp_needed counter when copying sockets

SCTP echoes a cookie o INIT ACK chunks that contains a timestamp, for
detecting stale cookies. This cookie is echoed back to the server by the
client and then that timestamp is checked.

Thing is, if the listening socket is using packet timestamping, the
cookie is encoded with ktime_get() value and checked against
ktime_get_real(), as done by __net_timestamp().

The fix is to sctp also use ktime_get_real(), so we can compare bananas
with bananas later no matter if packet timestamping was enabled or not.

Dmitry Vyukov reported that SCTP was triggering a WARN on socket destroy
related to disabling sock timestamp.

When SCTP accepts an association or peel one off, it copies sock flags
but forgot to call net_enable_timestamp() if a packet timestamping flag
was copied, leading to extra calls to net_disable_timestamp() whenever
such clones were closed.

The fix is to call net_enable_timestamp() whenever we copy a sock with
that flag on, like tcp does.

Hi Dmitry,

Can you please test this patch?
I'll re-post with proper subject if it works.

Thanks.

---8<---

Dmitry Vyukov reported a use-after-free in the code expanded by the
macro debug_post_sfx, which is caused by the use of the asoc pointer
after it was freed within sctp_side_effect() scope.

This patch fixes it by allowing sctp_side_effect to clear that asoc
pointer when the TCB is freed.

The macro is already prepared to handle such NULL pointer.

Then there may be another one, I'm afraid.

I'm using the testapp you shared in the first email, with that debug line
enabled and added a new one:
+ pr_debug("%p %d\n", asoc, asoc ? asoc->state : 0);
debug_post_sfx();
(should have used %x, but ok)

Also enabled slub_debug=PUZ, and I get:

without the patch:

Hi Marcelo

I think you also need to catch the SCTP_DISPOSITION_ABORT and update
the pointer. There are some issues there though as some functions report
that code without actually destroying the association. This happens when
the ABORT chunk may be dropped.

I think this might be why we still see the issue.

Marcelo,

Is this info enough for you to cook another fix?

Hi, I think so. I was really wondering how you could trigger that issue
without the timestamp fix and Vlad's comment does shed some light on it.

I'll do more tests later today, but what did you have connecting to the
listening socket? Somehow you made that accept() call to return..

Vlad, I reviewed the places on which it returns SCTP_DISPOSITION_ABORT,
and if I didn't miss something in there all of them either issue
SCTP_CMD_ASSOC_FAILED or SCTP_CMD_INIT_FAILED before returning it, thus
delaying DELETE_TCB and with that the asoc free. There is one place,
though, that may not do it that way, it's sctp_sf_abort_violation(), but
then that code only runs if asoc is already NULL by then.

Dmitry, still no luck here, cannot reproduce another hit.
I'm using sctp_test and a custom test of mine, both on localhost so I
would catch it in server or client side, nothing..

I need more info. Please enable the pr_debug() on debug_post_sfn() macro
and see which status is being reported when you trigger the issue.
And/or share a traffic capture so we can see what's going on with the
association.

They delay it from the perspective of the command interpreter since the command
to delete the TCB happens a little later, but status code is checked after all
commands are processed and command processing doesn't change it. So the 'status'
code would still be SCTP_DISPOSITION_ABORT after DELETE_TCB command was processed.
So, I think we may still have an use-after-free issue here.

I don't believe so. The violation state function can run with a non-NULL association
if we are encountering protocol violations after the association is established.

Gotcha! That's pretty much it then. From that point of view now, there
shouldn't be a case that it returns _ABORT without freeing the asoc in
the same loop. (more below)

Yup, that's correct. I just tried to reference one case on which it
would return _ABORT without issuing any of those _FAILEDs before doing
so (meaning the association could still be valid) but that in that case,
the asoc was already NULL.

Dmitry, please give this one a run, as I still cannot reproduce your use
case..

sctp: fix use-after-free in pr_debug statement

Dmitry Vyukov reported a use-after-free in the code expanded by the
macro debug_post_sfx, which is caused by the use of the asoc pointer
after it was freed within sctp_side_effect() scope.

This patch fixes it by allowing sctp_side_effect to clear that asoc
pointer when the TCB is freed.

As Vlad explained, we also have to cover the SCTP_DISPOSITION_ABORT case
because it will trigger DELETE_TCB too on that same loop.

The macro is already prepared to handle such NULL pointer.

I think it is possible to hit the 'discard:' tag in that function while still
having a valid association. That happens when ABORT chunk is required to be
authenticated. This that case, instead of generating an ABORT and terminating the
current association, we just drop the packet, but still report an _ABORT disposition code.

This probably need to change if we are going to catch the _ABORT disposition and
clear the asoc pointer.

Oups. Nice one. I'll switch it to SCTP_DISPOSITION_DISCARD if it hits
that if() then. Thanks Vlad.

So I am waiting for a new patch, right?
Can you please combine all changes into a single patch (as far as I
understand the previous one must be applied on top of the first one)?

The patches were combined already, but this last pick by Vlad is just
not yet patched. It's not necessary for your testing and I didn't want
to interrupt it in case you were already testing it.

You can use my last patch here, from 2 emails ago, the one which
contains this line:
- case SCTP_DISPOSITION_ABORT:

Heh I wasn't going to reproduce this by myself anytime soon, I think.
It's using the same socket to connect to itself, and only happens if the
connect() gets there before the listen() call. Figured this out because
I could only reproduce it under strace at first.

Please give this other patch a try. A state command
(sctp_sf_cookie_wait_prm_abort) was issuing SCTP_CMD_INIT_FAILED, which
leads to SCTP_CMD_DELETE_TCB, but returning SCTP_DISPOSITION_CONSUME,
which fooled the patch.

sctp: fix use-after-free in pr_debug statement

Dmitry Vyukov reported a use-after-free in the code expanded by the
macro debug_post_sfx, which is caused by the use of the asoc pointer
after it was freed within sctp_side_effect() scope.

This patch fixes it by allowing sctp_side_effect to clear that asoc
pointer when the TCB is freed.

As Vlad explained, we also have to cover the SCTP_DISPOSITION_ABORT case
because it will trigger DELETE_TCB too on that same loop.

Also, there was a place issuing SCTP_CMD_INIT_FAILED but returning
SCTP_DISPOSITION_CONSUME, which would fool the scheme above. Fix it by
returning SCTP_DISPOSITION_ABORT instead.

The macro is already prepared to handle such NULL pointer.

Still happens...
I am on commit aa53685549a2cfb5f175b0c4a20bc9aa1e5a1b85 with your
latest patch applied.
Can you figure out what happens now from the report below? If not I
can create a repro, it's just somewhat time consuming.

I can imagine. I don't know how this fuzzer works, but it would be nice
if this reproducer extractor could be executed easier. So far, we have
identified 3 different issues already leading to this bug:
- 1st, the handling on DELETE_TCB
- 2nd, the handling on DISPOSITION_ABORT
- 3rd, the bad combination on internal state-machine command to a return
value

I can and will review it again, but it's doing nasty stuff like using
the same socket to connect to itself. It's hard to imagine all those
combinations in mind that might lead to that use-after-free.

Keep you posted.. thanks.

Found a similar place in abort primitive handling like in this last
patch update, it's probably the issue you're still triggering.

Also found another place that may lead to this use after free, in case
we receive a packet with a chunk that has no data.

Oh my.. :)

It would be very nice, but it is not always trivial.

Fuzzer pretty much tried to trigger everything that is triggerable
from user-space. Sometimes what it does can make no sense. But it is
still super-important for contexts like Android, where programs can be
as malicious as you can imagine and the system heavily relies on
kernel for protection.

I see that sctp_cmd_interpreter does:

sctp_cmd_delete_tcb(commands, asoc);
asoc = NULL;

Won't it be simpler to pass sctp_association ** to this function and
let it clear it whenever it decides to free the objects, rather than
try to duplicate its logic on higher level. Just a blind thought.

That's like a short-circuit between the two logics, it's already
somewhat duplicated. I'm afraid that these other still returning
DISPOSITION_CONSUME may not be aware that the assoc is going away in
short term, maybe we have some other bug there too.

If/when we simplify sctp_side_effects() and get ride of that switch
case, that's probably how it will work, though.

Yes. This is what I was worried about... Anything that triggers
a DELTE_TCB command has to return a code that we can trap.

The other way is to do what Dmitri suggested, but even there, we
need to be very careful.

I'm always wary of anything that queues actions up for later processing.
It is far too easy (as found here) to end up processing actions
in invalid states, or to process actions in 'unusual' orders when
specific events happen close together.

I wonder how much fallout there'd be from getting the sctp code
to immediately action things, instead of queuing the actions for later.
It would certainly remove a lot of the unusual combinations of events.

We've bandied this idea around for a while, but no one has had the time

Couldn't get syzkaller working over here, so I still need your help on
testing this. I expect this will be the last cycle, though.

If it does generate another trace, I'll need the reproducer too because
I can't find anything else just with code review.

Thanks
