CVE-2024-26831

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/handshake: Fix handshake_req_destroy_test1 Recently, handshake_req_destroy_test1 started failing: Expected handshake_req_destroy_test == req, but handshake_req_destroy_test == 0000000000000000 req == 0000000060f99b40 not ok 11 req_destroy works This is because "sock_release(sock)" was replaced with "fput(filp)" to address a memory leak. Note that sock_release() is synchronous but fput() usually delays the final close and clean-up. The delay is not consequential in the other cases that were changed but handshake_req_destroy_test1 is testing that handshake_req_cancel() followed by closing the file actually does call the ->hp_destroy method. Thus the PTR_EQ test at the end has to be sure that the final close is complete before it checks the pointer. We cannot use a completion here because if ->hp_destroy is never called (ie, there is an API bug) then the test will hang. Reported by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/handshake: Fix handshake_req_destroy_test1 Recientemente, handshake_req_destroy_test1 comenzó a fallar: Se esperaba handshake_req_destroy_test == req, pero handshake_req_destroy_test == 0000000000000000 req == 0000000060f99b40 no ok 11 req_destroy funciona Esto se debe a que "sock_release( calcetín)" fue reemplazado por "fput(filp)" para solucionar una pérdida de memoria. Tenga en cuenta que sock_release() es sincrónico pero fput() normalmente retrasa el cierre y la limpieza finales. El retraso no tiene consecuencias en los otros casos que se cambiaron, pero handshake_req_destroy_test1 está probando que handshake_req_cancel() seguido del cierre del archivo realmente llama al método -&gt;hp_destroy. Por lo tanto, la prueba PTR_EQ al final debe asegurarse de que el cierre final esté completo antes de verificar el puntero. No podemos usar una finalización aquí porque si nunca se llama a -&gt;hp_destroy (es decir, hay un error de API), la prueba se bloqueará. Reportado por: Guenter Roeck
