Subject: [059/146] SCTP: fix race between sctp_bind_addr_free() and sctp_bind_addr_conflict()

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Jacek Luczak <difrost.kernel@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit c182f90bc1f22ce5039b8722e45621d5f96862c2 ]

During the sctp_close() call, we do not use rcu primitives to
destroy the address list attached to the endpoint.  At the same
time, we do the removal of addresses from this list before
attempting to remove the socket from the port hash

As a result, it is possible for another process to find the socket
in the port hash that is in the process of being closed.  It then
proceeds to traverse the address list to find the conflict, only
to have that address list suddenly disappear without rcu() critical
section.

Fix issue by closing address list removal inside RCU critical
section.

Race can result in a kernel crash with general protection fault or
kernel NULL pointer dereference:
