Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: isotp: fix timer drain order, wakeup handling and tx_gen ordering
This patch is a follow-up to commit cf070fe33bfb ("can: isotp: serialize
TX state transitions under so->rx_lock") which addresses following
sashiko-bot findings:
- isotp_sendmsg(): drain so->txfrtimer first so a stale callback can't
re-arm echotimer after the claim
- isotp_release(): wake so->wait after forcing ISOTP_SHUTDOWN so a
sleeping sendmsg() claim isn't stranded
- isotp_sendmsg(): have both wait_event_interruptible() calls in
isotp_sendmsg() also wake on ISOTP_SHUTDOWN and do not return claim to
IDLE to avoid corrupting a concurrent isotp_release() process.
- isotp_sendmsg(): handle potential claim of a new transfer when
the wait_event_interruptible() call returns in CAN_ISOTP_WAIT_TX_DONE
mode. Don't touch timers and states of the new transfer if a new thread
incremented so->tx_gen before getting the lock at err_event_dr
