CVE-2023-53136

  3. CVE-2023-53136
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: af_unix: fix struct pid leaks in OOB support syzbot reported struct pid leak [1]. Issue is that queue_oob() calls maybe_add_creds() which potentially holds a reference on a pid. But skb->destructor is not set (either directly or by calling unix_scm_to_skb()) This means that subsequent kfree_skb() or consume_skb() would leak this reference. In this fix, I chose to fully support scm even for the OOB message.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: af_unix: se corrigen fugas de struct pid en la compatibilidad OOB. syzbot reportó una fuga de struct pid [1]. El problema radica en que queue_oob() llama a perhaps_add_creds(), que potencialmente contiene una referencia a un PID. Sin embargo, skb-&gt;destructor no está definido (ni directamente ni mediante la llamada a unix_scm_to_skb()). Esto significa que las posteriores operaciones kfree_skb() o consume_skb() filtrarían esta referencia. En esta corrección, opté por ofrecer compatibilidad total con scm, incluso para el mensaje OOB.
