Message-ID: <2024040334-CVE-2023-52638-26a6@gregkh> Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2024 16:55:34 +0200 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-cve-announce@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Subject: CVE-2023-52638: can: j1939: prevent deadlock by changing j1939_socks_lock to rwlock Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: j1939: prevent deadlock by changing j1939_socks_lock to rwlock The following 3 locks would race against each other, causing the deadlock situation in the Syzbot bug report: - j1939_socks_lock - active_session_list_lock - sk_session_queue_lock A reasonable fix is to change j1939_socks_lock to an rwlock, since in the rare situations where a write lock is required for the linked list that j1939_socks_lock is protecting, the code does not attempt to acquire any more locks. This would break the circular lock dependency, where, for example, the current thread already locks j1939_socks_lock and attempts to acquire sk_session_queue_lock, and at the same time, another thread attempts to acquire j1939_socks_lock while holding sk_session_queue_lock. NOTE: This patch along does not fix the unregister_netdevice bug reported by Syzbot; instead, it solves a deadlock situation to prepare for one or more further patches to actually fix the Syzbot bug, which appears to be a reference counting problem within the j1939 codebase. [mkl: remove unrelated newline change] The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52638 to this issue. Affected and fixed versions =========================== Fixed in 5.15.149 with commit 03358aba9916 Fixed in 6.1.79 with commit aedda066d717 Fixed in 6.6.18 with commit 26dfe112ec2e Fixed in 6.7.6 with commit 559b6322f948 Fixed in 6.8 with commit 6cdedc18ba7b Please see https://www.kernel.org for a full list of currently supported kernel versions by the kernel community. Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to older supported kernel versions. The official CVE entry at https://cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2023-52638 will be updated if fixes are backported, please check that for the most up to date information about this issue. Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: net/can/j1939/j1939-priv.h net/can/j1939/main.c net/can/j1939/socket.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/03358aba991668d3bb2c65b3c82aa32c36851170 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aedda066d717a0b4335d7e0a00b2e3a61e40afcf https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/26dfe112ec2e95fe0099681f6aec33da13c2dd8e https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/559b6322f9480bff68cfa98d108991e945a4f284 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6cdedc18ba7b9dacc36466e27e3267d201948c8d
