Title
rxrpc: Fix call timer start racing with call destruction
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: Fix call timer start racing with call destruction The rxrpc_call struct has a timer used to handle various timed events relating to a call. This timer can get started from the packet input routines that are run in softirq mode with just the RCU read lock held. Unfortunately, because only the RCU read lock is held - and neither ref or other lock is taken - the call can start getting destroyed at the same time a packet comes in addressed to that call. This causes the timer - which was already stopped - to get restarted. Later, the timer dispatch code may then oops if the timer got deallocated first. Fix this by trying to take a ref on the rxrpc_call struct and, if successful, passing that ref along to the timer. If the timer was already running, the ref is discarded. The timer completion routine can then pass the ref along to the call's work item when it queues it. If the timer or work item where already queued/running, the extra ref is discarded.

On an AFS/RxRPC endpoint, an unauthenticated or already-peered remote sender can address packets to an in-flight call without privileges on the victim host.\nUI:N - Once AF_RXRPC/AFS is active, exploitation is driven solely by received UDP packets and concurrent call teardown; no user mount, open, or other interactive action is required.\nS:U - Impact is confined to the host kernel\u2019s RxRPC call object lifetime (timer UAF/oops); this is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-authority boundary.\nC:H - The race restarts an embedded timer on an rxrpc_call that can then be freed, yielding a use-after-free that can be reused via heap spraying for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The same timer-vs-destruction UAF on the freed rxrpc_call enables heap reuse and control-flow/integrity compromise, not merely a clean failure path.\nA:H - The commit reports that the timer dispatch path can oops after the call (and its embedded timer) is deallocated; any such UAF also reliably crashes or hangs the kernel."

This causes the timer - which\nwas already stopped - to get restarted.  Later, the timer dispatch code may\nthen oops if the timer got deallocated first.\n\nFix this by trying to take a ref on the rxrpc_call struct and, if\nsuccessful, passing that ref along to the timer.  If the timer was already\nrunning, the ref is discarded.\n\nThe timer completion routine can then pass the ref along to the call\u0027s work\nitem when it queues it.

Este temporizador puede iniciarse desde las rutinas de entrada de paquetes que se ejecutan en modo softirq con solo el bloqueo de lectura RCU mantenido. Desafortunadamente, debido a que solo se mantiene el bloqueo de lectura RCU, y no se toma ninguna referencia ni ning\u00fan otro bloqueo, la llamada puede comenzar a destruirse al mismo tiempo que llega un paquete dirigido a esa llamada. Esto hace que el temporizador, que ya estaba detenido, se reinicie. M\u00e1s tarde, el c\u00f3digo de despacho del temporizador puede fallar si el temporizador se desasign\u00f3 primero. Solucione esto intentando tomar una referencia en la estructura rxrpc_call y, si tiene \u00e9xito, pasando esa referencia al temporizador. Si el temporizador ya se estaba ejecutando, la referencia se descarta. La rutina de finalizaci\u00f3n del temporizador puede pasar la referencia al elemento de trabajo de la llamada cuando lo pone en cola. Si el temporizador o el elemento de trabajo ya estaban en cola o en ejecuci\u00f3n, la referencia adicional se descarta."

This timer can get started from the packet input\nroutines that are run in softirq mode with just the RCU read lock held.\nUnfortunately, because only the RCU read lock is held - and neither ref or\nother lock is taken - the call can start getting destroyed at the same time\na packet comes in addressed to that call.  This causes the timer - which\nwas already stopped - to get restarted.  Later, the timer dispatch code may\nthen oops if the timer got deallocated first.\n\nFix this by trying to take a ref on the rxrpc_call struct and, if\nsuccessful, passing that ref along to the timer.  If the timer was already\nrunning, the ref is discarded.\n\nThe timer completion routine can then pass the ref along to the call\u0027s work\nitem when it queues it.

On an AFS/RxRPC endpoint, an unauthenticated or already-peered remote sender can address packets to an in-flight call without privileges on the victim host.\nUI:N - Once AF_RXRPC/AFS is active, exploitation is driven solely by received UDP packets and concurrent call teardown; no user mount, open, or other interactive action is required.\nS:U - Impact is confined to the host kernel\u2019s RxRPC call object lifetime (timer UAF/oops); this is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-authority boundary.\nC:H - The race restarts an embedded timer on an rxrpc_call that can then be freed, yielding a use-after-free that can be reused via heap spraying for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The same timer-vs-destruction UAF on the freed rxrpc_call enables heap reuse and control-flow/integrity compromise, not merely a clean failure path.\nA:H - The commit reports that the timer dispatch path can oops after the call (and its embedded timer) is deallocated; any such UAF also reliably crashes or hangs the kernel."
