Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp_bpf: Fix the sk_mem_uncharge logic in tcp_bpf_sendmsg
The current sk memory accounting logic in __SK_REDIRECT is pre-uncharging
tosend bytes, which is either msg->sg.size or a smaller value apply_bytes.
Potential problems with this strategy are as follows:
- If the actual sent bytes are smaller than tosend, we need to charge some
bytes back, as in line 487, which is okay but seems not clean.
- When tosend is set to apply_bytes, as in line 417, and (ret miss uncharging (msg->sg.size - apply_bytes) bytes.
[...]
415 tosend = msg->sg.size;
416 if (psock->apply_bytes && psock->apply_bytes 417 tosend = psock->apply_bytes;
[...]
443 sk_msg_return(sk, msg, tosend);
444 release_sock(sk);
446 origsize = msg->sg.size;
447 ret = tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir(sk_redir, redir_ingress,
448 msg, tosend, flags);
449 sent = origsize - msg->sg.size;
[...]
454 lock_sock(sk);
455 if (unlikely(ret
456 int free = sk_msg_free_nocharge(sk, msg);
458 if (!cork)
459 *copied -= free;
460 }
[...]
487 if (eval == __SK_REDIRECT)
488 sk_mem_charge(sk, tosend - sent);
[...]
When running the selftest test_txmsg_redir_wait_sndmem with txmsg_apply,
the following warning will be reported:

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
In __SK_REDIRECT, a more concise way is delaying the uncharging after sent
bytes are finalized, and uncharge this value. When (ret invoke sk_msg_free.
Same thing happens in case __SK_DROP, when tosend is set to apply_bytes,
we may miss uncharging (msg->sg.size - apply_bytes) bytes. The same
warning will be reported in selftest.
[...]
468 case __SK_DROP:
469 default:
470 sk_msg_free_partial(sk, msg, tosend);
471 sk_msg_apply_bytes(psock, tosend);
472 *copied -= (tosend + delta);
473 return -EACCES;
[...]
So instead of sk_msg_free_partial we can do sk_msg_free here.
