From: Rainer Weikusat Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2016 19:37:27 +0000 Subject: af_unix: Guard against other == sk in unix_dgram_sendmsg Origin: http://mid.gmane.org/87r3gj11jc.fsf_-_@doppelsaurus.mobileactivedefense.com The unix_dgram_sendmsg routine use the following test if (unlikely(unix_peer(other) != sk && unix_recvq_full(other))) { to determine if sk and other are in an n:1 association (either established via connect or by using sendto to send messages to an unrelated socket identified by address). This isn't correct as the specified address could have been bound to the sending socket itself or because this socket could have been connected to itself by the time of the unix_peer_get but disconnected before the unix_state_lock(other). In both cases, the if-block would be entered despite other == sk which might either block the sender unintentionally or lead to trying to unlock the same spin lock twice for a non-blocking send. Add a other != sk check to guard against this.
