From 34c86f4c4a7be3b3e35aa48bd18299d4c756064d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2020 16:48:43 +1000 Subject: crypto: af_alg - fix use-after-free in af_alg_accept() due to bh_lock_sock() The locking in af_alg_release_parent is broken as the BH socket lock can only be taken if there is a code-path to handle the case where the lock is owned by process-context. Instead of adding such handling, we can fix this by changing the ref counts to atomic_t. This patch also modifies the main refcnt to include both normal and nokey sockets. This way we don't have to fudge the nokey ref count when a socket changes from nokey to normal.
