Title
af_unix: Call kfree_skb() for dead unix_(sk)->oob_skb in GC.
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: af_unix: Call kfree_skb() for dead unix_(sk)->oob_skb in GC. syzbot reported a warning [0] in __unix_gc() with a repro, which creates a socketpair and sends one socket's fd to itself using the peer. socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, [3, 4]) = 0 sendmsg(4, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\360", iov_len=1}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_control=[{cmsg_len=20, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type=SCM_RIGHTS, cmsg_data=[3]}], msg_controllen=24, msg_flags=0}, MSG_OOB|MSG_PROBE|MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_ZEROCOPY) = 1 This forms a self-cyclic reference that GC should finally untangle but does not due to lack of MSG_OOB handling, resulting in memory leak. Recently, commit 11498715f266 ("af_unix: Remove io_uring code for GC.") removed io_uring's dead code in GC and revealed the problem. The code was executed at the final stage of GC and unconditionally moved all GC candidates from gc_candidates to gc_inflight_list. That papered over the reported problem by always making the following WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&gc_candidates)) false. The problem has been there since commit 2aab4b969002 ("af_unix: fix struct pid leaks in OOB support") added full scm support for MSG_OOB while fixing another bug. To fix this problem, we must call kfree_skb() for unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb if the socket still exists in gc_candidates after purging collected skb. Then, we need to set NULL to oob_skb before calling kfree_skb() because it calls last fput() and triggers unix_release_sock(), where we call duplicate kfree_skb(u->oob_skb) if not NULL. Note that the leaked socket remained being linked to a global list, so kmemleak also could not detect it. We need to check /proc/net/protocol to notice the unfreed socket.

Recientemente, el commit 11498715f266 (\\\"af_unix: Eliminar el c\u00f3digo io_uring para GC.\\\") elimin\u00f3 el c\u00f3digo inactivo de io_uring en GC y revel\u00f3 el problema. El c\u00f3digo se ejecut\u00f3 en la etapa final de GC y movi\u00f3 incondicionalmente todos los candidatos de GC de gc_candidates a gc_inflight_list. Eso ocult\u00f3 el problema informado haciendo siempre que lo siguiente WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(\u0026amp;gc_candidates)) fuera falso. El problema ha estado ah\u00ed desde que el commit 2aab4b969002 (\\\"af_unix: corrige fugas de struct pid en soporte OOB\\\") agreg\u00f3 soporte completo de scm para MSG_OOB mientras solucionaba otro error. Para solucionar este problema, debemos llamar a kfree_skb() para unix_sk(sk)-\u0026gt;oob_skb si el socket todav\u00eda existe en gc_candidates despu\u00e9s de purgar el skb recopilado. Luego, necesitamos establecer NULL en oob_skb antes de llamar a kfree_skb() porque llama al \u00faltimo fput() y activa unix_release_sock(), donde llamamos al duplicado kfree_skb(u-\u0026gt;oob_skb) si no es NULL. Tenga en cuenta que el socket filtrado segu\u00eda vinculado a una lista global, por lo que kmemleak tampoco pudo detectarlo. Necesitamos verificar /proc/net/protocol para notar el socket no liberado.

the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\naf_unix: Call kfree_skb() for dead unix_(sk)-\u003eoob_skb in GC.\\n\\nsyzbot reported a warning [0] in __unix_gc() with a repro, which\\ncreates a socketpair and sends one socket\u0027s fd to itself using the\\npeer.\\n\\n  socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, [3, 4]) = 0\\n  sendmsg(4, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0,

cmsg_data=[3]}],\\n          msg_controllen=24, msg_flags=0}, MSG_OOB|MSG_PROBE|MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_ZEROCOPY) = 1\\n\\nThis forms a self-cyclic reference that GC should finally untangle\\nbut does not due to lack of MSG_OOB handling, resulting in memory\\nleak.\\n\\nRecently, commit 11498715f266 (\\\"af_unix: Remove io_uring code for\\nGC.\\\") removed io_uring\u0027s dead code in GC and revealed the problem.\\n\\nThe code was executed at the final stage of GC and unconditionally\\nmoved all GC candidates from gc_candidates to gc_inflight_list.\\nThat papered over the reported problem by always making the following\\nWARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(\u0026gc_candidates)) false.\\n\\nThe problem has been there since commit 2aab4b969002 (\\\"af_unix: fix\\nstruct pid leaks in OOB support\\\") added full scm support for MSG_OOB\\nwhile fixing another bug.\\n\\nTo fix this problem, we must call kfree_skb() for unix_sk(sk)-\u003eoob_skb\\nif the socket still exists in gc_candidates after purging collected skb.\\n\\nThen, we need to set NULL to oob_skb before calling kfree_skb() because\\nit calls last fput() and triggers unix_release_sock(), where we call\\nduplicate kfree_skb(u-\u003eoob_skb) if not NULL.\\n\\nNote that the leaked socket remained being linked to a global list, so\\nkmemleak also could not detect it.  We need to check /proc/net/protocol\\nto notice the unfreed socket.\\n\\n[0]:\\nWARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2863 at net/unix/garbage.c:345 __unix_gc+0xc74/0xe80 net/unix/garbage.c:345\\nModules linked in:\\nCPU: 0 PID: 2863 Comm: kworker/u4:11 Not tainted 6.8.0-rc1-syzkaller-00583-g1701940b1a02 #0\\nHardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/25/2024\\nWorkqueue: events_unbound __unix_gc\\nRIP: 0010:__unix_gc+0xc74/0xe80 net/unix/garbage.c:345\\nCode: 8b 5c 24 50 e9 86 f8 ff ff e8 f8 e4 22 f8 31 d2 48 c7 c6 30 6a 69 89 4c 89 ef e8 97 ef ff ff e9 80 f9 ff ff e8 dd e4 22 f8 90 \u003c0f\u003e 0b 90 e9 7b fd ff ff 48 89 df e8 5c e7 7c f8 e9 d3 f8 ff ff e8\\nRSP: 0018:ffffc9000b03fba0 EFLAGS: 00010293\\nRAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffc9000b03fc10 RCX: ffffffff816c493e\\nRDX: ffff88802c02d940 RSI: ffffffff896982f3 RDI: ffffc9000b03fb30\\nRBP: ffffc9000b03fce0 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: fffff52001607f66\\nR10: 0000000000000003 R11: 0000000000000002 R12: dffffc0000000000\\nR13: ffffc9000b03fc10 R14: ffffc9000b03fc10 R15: 0000000000000001\\nFS:  0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8880b9400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\\nCS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\\nCR2: 00005559c8677a60 CR3: 000000000d57a000 CR4: 00000000003506f0\\nDR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000\\nDR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400\\nCall Trace:\\n \u003cTASK\u003e\\n process_one_work+0x889/0x15e0 kernel/workqueue.c:2633\\n process_scheduled_works kernel/workqueue.c:2706 [inline]\\n worker_thread+0x8b9/0x12a0 kernel/workqueue.c:2787\\n kthread+0x2c6/0x3b0 kernel/kthread.c:388\\n ret_from_fork+0x45/0x80 arch/x86/kernel/process.c:147\\n ret_from_fork_asm+0x1b/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:242\\n \u003c/TASK\u003e\"}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"5.15.149\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"5.15.103\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.1.78\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.1.20\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.6.17\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.3\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.7.5\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.3\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.8\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.3\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.2.7\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\", \"shortName\": \"Linux\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-05-11T20:02:02.471Z\"}}}",
