Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Don't call reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request().
syzbot reported the splat below in tcp_conn_request(). [0]
If a listener is close()d while a TFO socket is being processed in
tcp_conn_request(), inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add() does not set reqsk->sk
and calls inet_child_forget(), which calls tcp_disconnect() for the
TFO socket.
After the cited commit, tcp_disconnect() calls reqsk_fastopen_remove(),
where reqsk_put() is called due to !reqsk->sk.
Then, reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request() decrements the
last req->rsk_refcnt and frees reqsk, and __reqsk_free() at the
drop_and_free label causes the refcount underflow for the listener
and double-free of the reqsk.
Let's remove reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request().
Note that other callers make sure tp->fastopen_rsk is not NULL.
[0]:
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
