From 3a58f13a881ed351198ffab4cf9953cf19d2ab3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp Date: Mon, 2 May 2022 10:40:18 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] net: rds: acquire refcount on TCP sockets
syzbot is reporting use-after-free read in tcp_retransmit_timer() [1], for TCP socket used by RDS is accessing sock_net() without acquiring a refcount on net namespace. Since TCP's retransmission can happen after a process which created net namespace terminated, we need to explicitly acquire a refcount.
