NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-debug-modules-deprecated package and not the kernel-uek-debug-modules-deprecated package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: keep chunk->transport in step with the list it is queued on

__sctp_outq_flush_rtx() moves a gap-acked chunk onto another transport's transmitted list without updating chunk->transport:

if (chunk-&gt;tsn_gap_acked) {
    list_move_tail(&amp;chunk-&gt;transmitted_list,
               &amp;transport-&gt;transmitted);
    continue;
}

The chunk then sits on a live transport's list while chunk->transport still names a different one. If that transport is removed - sctp_assoc_rm_peer() from an ASCONF Delete-IP - sctp_transport_free() RCU-frees it and the chunk is left with a dangling pointer. sctp_assoc_rm_peer() scrubs peer->transmitted and asoc->outqueue.out_chunk_list, but the chunk is on neither.

The pointer is not followed while tsn_gap_acked is set. A SACK that reneges on the TSN clears the flag, and the next SACK reaches

tchunk-&gt;transport-&gt;flight_size -= sctp_data_size(tchunk);

inside the freed transport. KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free read in sctp_check_transmitted(), freed from sctp_assoc_rm_peer(). Both the removal and the SACKs come from the association peer.

Set chunk->transport at the move. The ordinary resend path needs nothing: it reaches its list_move_tail() only after sctp_packet_append_chunk() returned SCTP_XMIT_OK, and __sctp_packet_append_chunk() has rebound the chunk by then.
