CVE-2022-49814
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: close race conditions on sk_receive_queue
sk->sk_receive_queue is protected by skb queue lock, but for KCM sockets its RX path takes mux->rx_lock to protect more than just skb queue. However, kcm_recvmsg() still only grabs the skb queue lock, so race conditions still exist.
We can teach kcm_recvmsg() to grab mux->rx_lock too but this would introduce a potential performance regression as struct kcm_mux can be shared by multiple KCM sockets.
So we have to enforce skb queue lock in requeue_rx_msgs() and handle skb peek case carefully in kcm_wait_data().

Fortunately, skb_recv_datagram() already handles it nicely and is widely used by other sockets, we can just switch to skb_recv_datagram() after getting rid of the unnecessary sock lock in kcm_recvmsg() and kcm_splice_read(). Side note: SOCK_DONE is not used by KCM sockets, so it is safe to get rid of this check too.
I ran the original syzbot reproducer for 30 min without seeing any issue.

Sin embargo, kcm_recvmsg() todavía solo captura el bloqueo de cola skb, por lo que las condiciones de ejecución aún existen. Podemos enseñar a kcm_recvmsg() a capturar también mux->rx_lock, pero esto introduciría una posible regresión del rendimiento, ya que la estructura kcm_mux puede ser compartida por varios sockets KCM. Por lo tanto, debemos aplicar el bloqueo de cola skb en requeue_rx_msgs() y manejar el caso de skb peek con cuidado en kcm_wait_data(). Afortunadamente, skb_recv_datagram() ya lo gestiona correctamente y es ampliamente utilizado por otros sockets. Podemos cambiar a skb_recv_datagram() tras eliminar el bloqueo de sock innecesario en kcm_recvmsg() y kcm_splice_read(). Nota: Los sockets KCM no utilizan SOCK_DONE, por lo que también es seguro omitir esta comprobación. Ejecuté el reproductor syzbot original durante 30 minutos sin observar ningún problema."
