Subject: [Patch] mqueue: fix the retry logic for netlink_attachskb()
Date: Fri,  7 Jul 2017 11:32:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1499452335-3478-1-git-send-email-xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> (raw)

The retry logic for netlink_attachskb() inside sys_mq_notify()
is suspicious and vulnerable:

1) The sock refcnt is already released when retry is needed
2) The fd is controllable by user-space because we already
   release the file refcnt

so we when retry and the fd has been closed during this small
window, we end up calling netlink_detachskb() on the error path
which releases the sock again and could lead to a use-after-free.

We don't need to re-get the file pointer in the retry loop, keep
it until we finally succeed.
