Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: tls: explicitly disallow disconnect syzbot discovered that it can disconnect a TLS socket and then run into all sort of unexpected corner cases. I have a vague recollection of Eric pointing this out to us a long time ago. Supporting disconnect is really hard, for one thing if offload is enabled we'd need to wait for all packets to be _acked_. Disconnect is not commonly used, disallow it. The immediate problem syzbot run into is the warning in the strp, but that's just the easiest bug to trigger: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5834 at net/tls/tls_strp.c:486 tls_strp_msg_load+0x72e/0xa80 net/tls/tls_strp.c:486 RIP: 0010:tls_strp_msg_load+0x72e/0xa80 net/tls/tls_strp.c:486 Call Trace: <TASK> tls_rx_rec_wait+0x280/0xa60 net/tls/tls_sw.c:1363 tls_sw_recvmsg+0x85c/0x1c30 net/tls/tls_sw.c:2043 inet6_recvmsg+0x2c9/0x730 net/ipv6/af_inet6.c:678 sock_recvmsg_nosec net/socket.c:1023 [inline] sock_recvmsg+0x109/0x280 net/socket.c:1045 __sys_recvfrom+0x202/0x380 net/socket.c:2237

The TCP connection can be entirely loopback, so no network access is needed at all.\nAC:L - The sequence (attach TLS ULP, receive one record so the strparser latches `msg_ready` with a borrowed `frag_list`, disconnect, recvmsg) is fully under the attacker\u0027s control, single-threaded, and deterministic with no race to win. Heap grooming of the freed `skbuff_head` objects is standard and repeatable since the attacker can retry indefinitely.\nPR:L - `net/tls` contains no `capable()`/`ns_capable()` checks whatsoever, and `setsockopt(TCP_ULP,\"tls\")` plus `TLS_RX` crypto_info are available to any unprivileged user once the tls module is built in or resident. All steps are ordinary socket syscalls on a socket the attacker created.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step themselves within a single process; no victim action, mount, or file open is involved.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel memory managed by the same kernel security authority; there is no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - `skb_nsg()`/`skb_to_sgvec()` walk the anchor\u0027s dangling `frag_list` into freed `skbuff_head` slab objects, building a scatterlist from attacker-sprayable page pointers; the zero-copy AEAD then writes those kernel bytes into the user\u0027s buffer before the tag check fails, and since the attacker chose the RX key/IV they recover the plaintext \u2014 an arbitrary kernel memory read.\nI:H - This is a use-after-free: `tls_strp_msg_hold()` performs `skb_clone()` on freed skbs (refcount writes into reallocated slab memory) and queues clones that are later freed, giving heap corruption and arbitrary-free primitives usable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The immediate observable effect is the `WARN_ON` at net/tls/tls_strp.c:486 (a panic under `panic_on_warn`), and the subsequent dereference of freed skb metadata and wild page pointers reliably oopses the kernel."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
