In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/iucv: fix the recvmsg window update
iucv sock recvmsg() sends the HiperSockets-only AF IUCV FLAG WIN without
testing the transport, so on a classic z/VM socket iucv send ctrl() sizes
the skb through a NULL iucv->hs dev. SO MSGLIMIT accepts 1, so msglimit / 2
is zero and one recvmsg() on its own socket is enough for an unprivileged
process to take a spurious disconnect.
It also calls iucv send ctrl() under spin lock bh(&message q.lock), which
allocates GFP KERNEL inside a section the code treats as atomic. Sending
outside that lock lets two recvmsg() reach afiucv hs send() at once, where
msg recv is sampled for the advertised window and subtracted after
dev queue xmit() -- and sendmsg reaches that counter under lock sock()
while recvmsg holds no socket lock, so both can subtract the same value,
the counter goes negative and the credit reaches the peer twice.
Test the transport, claim the credit with atomic xchg() after the last
error exit and hand it back if the transmit fails, and send once the lock
is dropped.
