Title
sctp: handle the error returned from sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: handle the error returned from sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key When it returns an error from sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key(), the active_key is actually not updated. The old sh_key will be freeed while it's still used as active key in asoc. Then an use-after-free will be triggered when sending patckets, as found by syzbot: sctp_auth_shkey_hold+0x22/0xa0 net/sctp/auth.c:112 sctp_set_owner_w net/sctp/socket.c:132 [inline] sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc+0xbd5/0x1a20 net/sctp/socket.c:1863 sctp_sendmsg+0x1053/0x1d50 net/sctp/socket.c:2025 inet_sendmsg+0x99/0xe0 net/ipv4/af_inet.c:819 sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:714 [inline] sock_sendmsg+0xcf/0x120 net/socket.c:734 This patch is to fix it by not replacing the sh_key when it returns errors from sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() in sctp_auth_set_key(). For sctp_auth_set_active_key(), old active_key_id will be set back to asoc->active_key_id when the same thing happens.

The old sh_key will be freeed\nwhile it\u0027s still used as active key in asoc. Then an use-after-free\nwill be triggered when sending patckets, as found by syzbot:\n\n  sctp_auth_shkey_hold+0x22/0xa0 net/sctp/auth.c:112\n  sctp_set_owner_w net/sctp/socket.c:132 [inline]\n  sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc+0xbd5/0x1a20 net/sctp/socket.c:1863\n  sctp_sendmsg+0x1053/0x1d50 net/sctp/socket.c:2025\n  inet_sendmsg+0x99/0xe0 net/ipv4/af_inet.c:819\n  sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:714 [inline]\n  sock_sendmsg+0xcf/0x120 net/socket.c:734\n\nThis patch is to fix it by not replacing the sh_key when it returns\nerrors from sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() in sctp_auth_set_key().\nFor sctp_auth_set_active_key(), old active_key_id will be set back\nto asoc-\u003eactive_key_id when the same thing happens."
