Subject: CVE-2022-49814: kcm: close race conditions on sk_receive_queue

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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

kcm: close race conditions on sk_receive_queue

sk->sk_receive_queue is protected by skb queue lock, but for KCM
sockets its RX path takes mux->rx_lock to protect more than just
skb queue. However, kcm_recvmsg() still only grabs the skb queue
lock, so race conditions still exist.

We can teach kcm_recvmsg() to grab mux->rx_lock too but this would
introduce a potential performance regression as struct kcm_mux can
be shared by multiple KCM sockets.

So we have to enforce skb queue lock in requeue_rx_msgs() and handle
skb peek case carefully in kcm_wait_data(). Fortunately,
skb_recv_datagram() already handles it nicely and is widely used by
other sockets, we can just switch to skb_recv_datagram() after
getting rid of the unnecessary sock lock in kcm_recvmsg() and
kcm_splice_read(). Side note: SOCK_DONE is not used by KCM sockets,
so it is safe to get rid of this check too.

I ran the original syzbot reproducer for 30 min without seeing any
issue.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49814 to this issue.

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:
