In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ppp: do not assume bh is held in pppchannelbridgeinput() Networking receive path is usually handled from BH handler. However, some protocols need to acquire the socket lock, and packets might be stored in the socket backlog is the socket was owned by a user process. In this case, releasesock(), releasesock(), and skbacklogrcv() might call the sk->skbacklogrcv() handler in process context. sybot caught ppp was not considering this case in pppchannelbridgeinput() : WARNING: inconsistent lock state 6.11.0-rc7-syzkaller-g5f5673607153 #0 Not tainted -------------------------------- inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage. ksoftirqd/1/24 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE1:SE0] takes: ffff0000db7f11e0 (&pch->downl){+.?.}-{2:2}, at: spinlock include/linux/spinlock.h:351 [inline] ffff0000db7f11e0 (&pch->downl){+.?.}-{2:2}, at: pppchannelbridgeinput drivers/net/ppp/pppgeneric.c:2272 [inline] ffff0000db7f11e0 (&pch->downl){+.?.}-{2:2}, at: pppinput+0x16c/0x854 drivers/net/ppp/pppgeneric.c:2304 {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} state was registered at: lockacquire+0x240/0x728 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5759 rawspinlock include/linux/spinlockapismp.h:133 [inline] rawspinlock+0x48/0x60 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:154 spinlock include/linux/spinlock.h:351 [inline] pppchannelbridgeinput drivers/net/ppp/pppgeneric.c:2272 [inline] pppinput+0x16c/0x854 drivers/net/ppp/pppgeneric.c:2304 pppoercvcore+0xfc/0x314 drivers/net/ppp/pppoe.c:379 skbacklogrcv include/net/sock.h:1111 [inline] releasesock+0x1a8/0x3d8 net/core/sock.c:3004 releasesock+0x68/0x1b8 net/core/sock.c:3558 pppoesendmsg+0xc8/0x5d8 drivers/net/ppp/pppoe.c:903 socksendmsgnosec net/socket.c:730 [inline] socksendmsg net/socket.c:745 [inline] syssendto+0x374/0x4f4 net/socket.c:2204 dosyssendto net/socket.c:2216 [inline] sesyssendto net/socket.c:2212 [inline] arm64syssendto+0xd8/0xf8 net/socket.c:2212 invokesyscall arch/arm64/kernel/syscall.c:35 [inline] invokesyscall+0x98/0x2b8 arch/arm64/kernel/syscall.c:49 el0svccommon+0x130/0x23c arch/arm64/kernel/syscall.c:132 doel0svc+0x48/0x58 arch/arm64/kernel/syscall.c:151 el0svc+0x54/0x168 arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:712 el0t64synchandler+0x84/0xfc arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:730 el0t64sync+0x190/0x194 arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:598 irq event stamp: 282914 hardirqs last enabled at (282914): [<ffff80008b42e30c>] rawspinunlockirqrestore include/linux/spinlockapismp.h:151 [inline] hardirqs last enabled at (282914): [<ffff80008b42e30c>] rawspinunlockirqrestore+0x38/0x98 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:194 hardirqs last disabled at (282913): [<ffff80008b42e13c>] rawspinlockirqsave include/linux/spinlockapismp.h:108 [inline] hardirqs last disabled at (282913): [<ffff80008b42e13c>] rawspinlockirqsave+0x2c/0x7c kernel/locking/spinlock.c:162 softirqs last enabled at (282904): [<ffff8000801f8e88>] softirqhandleend kernel/softirq.c:400 [inline] softirqs last enabled at (282904): [<ffff8000801f8e88>] handlesoftirqs+0xa3c/0xbfc kernel/softirq.c:582 softirqs last disabled at (282909): [<ffff8000801fbdf8>] runksoftirqd+0x70/0x158 kernel/softirq.c:928 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&pch->downl); <Interrupt> lock(&pch->downl); DEADLOCK 1 lock held by ksoftirqd/1/24: #0: ffff80008f74dfa0 (rcureadlock){....}-{1:2}, at: rculockacquire+0x10/0x4c include/linux/rcupdate.h:325 stack backtrace: CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 24 Comm: ksoftirqd/1 Not tainted 6.11.0-rc7-syzkaller-g5f5673607153 #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 08/06/2024 Call trace: dumpbacktrace+0x1b8/0x1e4 arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c:319 showstack+0x2c/0x3c arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c:326 dumpsta ---truncated---

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who is realistically exposed to this issue?

Systems using the listed Ubuntu kernel packages and PPP functionality are relevant. The CVSS vector indicates local attack access with low privileges; no user interaction is required.

2

What impact does successful exploitation have?

The reported impact is on availability, rated high. The CVSS vector does not indicate a confidentiality or integrity impact.

3

Are there additional conditions an attacker must satisfy?

Yes. The attack vector lists low attack complexity but also identifies additional attack requirements (AT:P), meaning local low-privileged access alone is not the only condition.

4

Is there an indication that the issue has been encountered on a system?

The reported failure manifested as an inconsistent lock-state warning involving ppp_channel_bridge_input(), ppp_input(), and the ppp_generic driver. Such a warning can indicate the affected execution path was reached, but the provided data does not establish it as a definitive detection method.
