Affected: Linux

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

sockmap: Fix use-after-free in udp_bpf_recvmsg()

syzbot reported use-after-free of struct sk_msg in sk_msg_recvmsg(). [0]

sk_msg_recvmsg() peeks sk_msg from psock->ingress_msg under a lock, but its processing is lockless.

Thus, sk_msg_recvmsg() must be serialised by callers, otherwise multiple threads could touch the same sk_msg.

For example, TCP uses lock_sock(), and AF_UNIX uses unix_sk(sk)->iolock.

Initially, udp_bpf_recvmsg() had used lock_sock(), but the cited commit removed it.

Let's serialise sk_msg_recvmsg() with lock_sock() in udp_bpf_recvmsg().

Note that holding spin_lock_bh(&sk->sk_receive_queue.lock) is not an option due to copy_page_to_iter() in sk_msg_recvmsg().
