Title
nfc: llcp: read llcp_sock->local under the socket lock in getsockopt
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: read llcp_sock->local under the socket lock in getsockopt nfc_llcp_getsockopt() read llcp_sock->local before lock_sock(sk) and then dereferenced the cached pointer inside the locked region. llcp_sock_bind() assigns and clears llcp_sock->local under the same socket lock, dropping the last reference on its error path. A getsockopt() racing an in-flight bind() can observe the pointer, block on lock_sock(), and then dereference a freed nfc_llcp_local once bind() has unwound. Move the llcp_sock->local read and the NULL check inside the lock_sock(sk) region so bind() cannot mutate or free the pointer between the load and the use.

No LLCP PDU or other NFC-peer bytes are consumed on this path, so an adjacent radio peer cannot drive it.\nAC:L - The attacker owns both sides of the lock_sock(sk) race: one thread calls bind() with service_name_len 0 so nfc_llcp_get_sdp_ssap() returns LLCP_SAP_MAX after llcp_sock-\u003elocal is stored, and another calls getsockopt(SOL_NFC, NFC_LLCP_RW) on the same socket, which used to snapshot that pointer before taking the lock.\nPR:L - llcp_sock_create() checks capable(CAP_NET_RAW) only for SOCK_RAW; nfc_llcp_getsockopt is on llcp_sock_ops for SOCK_STREAM/DGRAM. An unprivileged user in init_net can socket(AF_NFC, SOCK_STREAM, NFC_SOCKPROTO_LLCP) then bind/getsockopt. nfc_llcp_find_local() needs a registered NFC device, which is typical on phones.\nUI:N - The attacker creates the AF_NFC LLCP socket and issues bind() and getsockopt() on that fd themselves; no other user needs to tap a tag, mount media, or accept a connection.\nS:U - The freed object is the host kernel\u0027s kmalloc\u0027d nfc_llcp_local used by nfc_llcp_getsockopt(); impact stays inside the kernel\u0027s security authority, not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox escape.\nC:H - nfc_llcp_getsockopt() dereferences the dangling nfc_llcp_local to read local-\u003erw, local-\u003emiux, local-\u003eremote_miu, and local-\u003eremote_lto and copies those values to userspace with put_user(), so reclaim of the freed slab yields an arbitrary-read primitive.\nI:H - llcp_sock_bind()\u0027s sock_llcp_put_local path drops nfc_llcp_local via nfc_llcp_local_put() while nfc_llcp_getsockopt() still holds the pointer; reclaiming that kmalloc object with attacker-controlled data turns the dangling local into a write/control-flow primitive.\nA:H - Using the freed nfc_llcp_local in nfc_llcp_getsockopt() (the local-\u003erw and local-\u003eremote_lto loads) is a kernel slab UAF that oopses or panics on KASAN/SLUB_DEBUG and can crash the system even when not fully exploited."
