netlink: fix an use-after-free issue for nlk groups
ChunYu found a netlink use-after-free issue by syzkaller: [28448.842981] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __nla_put+0x37/0x40 at addr ffff8807185e2378 [28448.969918] Call Trace: [...] [28449.117207] __nla_put+0x37/0x40 [28449.132027] nla_put+0xf5/0x130 [28449.146261] sk_diag_fill.isra.4.constprop.5+0x5a0/0x750 [netlink_diag] [28449.176608] __netlink_diag_dump+0x25a/0x700 [netlink_diag] [28449.202215] netlink_diag_dump+0x176/0x240 [netlink_diag] [28449.226834] netlink_dump+0x488/0xbb0 [28449.298014] __netlink_dump_start+0x4e8/0x760 [28449.317924] netlink_diag_handler_dump+0x261/0x340 [netlink_diag] [28449.413414] sock_diag_rcv_msg+0x207/0x390 [28449.432409] netlink_rcv_skb+0x149/0x380 [28449.467647] sock_diag_rcv+0x2d/0x40 [28449.484362] netlink_unicast+0x562/0x7b0 [28449.564790] netlink_sendmsg+0xaa8/0xe60 [28449.661510] sock_sendmsg+0xcf/0x110 [28449.865631] __sys_sendmsg+0xf3/0x240 [28450.000964] SyS_sendmsg+0x32/0x50 [28450.016969] do_syscall_64+0x25c/0x6c0 [28450.154439] entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 It was caused by no protection between nlk groups' free in netlink_release and nlk groups' accessing in sk_diag_dump_groups. The similar issue also exists in netlink_seq_show(). This patch is to defer nlk groups' free in deferred_put_nlk_sk.
