From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
Code in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() after the call to tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock()
is done too late.
After tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock(), the child socket is already visible
from TCP ehash table and other cpus might use it.
Since newinet->pinet6 is still pointing to the listener ipv6_pinfo
bad things can happen as syzbot found.
Move the problematic code in tcp_v6_mapped_child_init()
and call this new helper from tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() before
the ehash insertion.
This allows the removal of one tcp_sync_mss(), since
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() will call it with the correct
context.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

[florian:
- net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c:
- Set `newnp->ipv6_fl_list = NULL` instead of `newinet->ipv6_fl_list = NULL`,
as `ipv6_fl_list` is in `struct ipv6_pinfo`.
- Guarded `af_specific` assignment with `#ifdef CONFIG_TCP_MD5SIG` instead
of checking `CONFIG_TCP_AO`.
- Used `if (tcp_inet6_sk(sk)->repflow)` instead of `inet6_test_bit(REPFLOW, sk)`.]

2.34.1Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
New issues:
- [Low] The patch adds a new argument to the `syn_recv_sock` function pointer in `struct inet_connection_sock_af_ops` but fails to update the DCCP subsystem, breaking the build when `CONFIG_IP_DCCP` is enabled.
Pre-existing issues:
- [Critical] Use-After-Free and double-free of the listener's IPv6 options on routing failure during IPv4-mapped socket creation.
- [High] The DCCP subsystem contains the identical race condition for IPv4-mapped IPv6 sockets that this patch intended to fix for TCP.

commit 0524a546fd92e10009336d36766fbc7fa6b854ac
Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
tcp: fix potential race in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()
This commit fixes a race condition where a child socket is inserted into
the TCP ehash table before its IPv6-specific fields are fully initialized.
It introduces an opt_child_init callback in the syn_recv_sock af_ops to
allow IPv6 mapped sockets to be initialized before hash insertion.

[Severity: Low]
Does this change break the build for the DCCP subsystem?
It looks like dccp_v4_request_recv_sock(), dccp_v6_request_recv_sock(),
and their caller dccp_check_req() in net/dccp/minisocks.c were not updated
to handle this new 7th argument. This would result in compilation errors
when CONFIG_IP_DCCP is enabled.
[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the DCCP subsystem
suffer from the same race condition this commit fixes for TCP?
In net/dccp/ipv6.c:dccp_v6_request_recv_sock(), the child socket is created
and inserted into the ehash table by dccp_v4_request_recv_sock() before
its IPv6-specific fields are initialized:
newsk = dccp_v4_request_recv_sock(sk, skb, req, dst,
req_unhash, own_req);
if (newsk == NULL)
return NULL;
newdp6 = (struct dccp6_sock *)newsk;
newinet = inet_sk(newsk);
newinet->pinet6 = &newdp6->inet6;
Could concurrent threads access uninitialized IPv6 fields via a lookup,
similar to the syzbot crash found in TCP?

[Severity: Critical]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this routing failure path in
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() cause a use-after-free of the listener's IPv6
options?
Just above this block in tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock():
if (!dst) {
dst = inet_csk_route_child_sock(sk, newsk, req);
if (!dst)
goto put_and_exit;
}
If inet_csk_route_child_sock() fails, the code jumps to put_and_exit and
destroys the child socket. Because opt_child_init() hasn't run yet,
newinet->pinet6 still points to the listener's ipv6_pinfo. The child's
destructor (inet6_destroy_sock) will then free the listener's options,
corrupting the active listener socket.
