netrom: Fix a memory leak in nr_heartbeat_expiry()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netrom: Fix a memory leak in nr_heartbeat_expiry()
syzbot reported a memory leak in nr_create() [0].
Commit 409db27e3a2e ("netrom: Fix use-after-free of a listening socket.")
added sock_hold() to the nr_heartbeat_expiry() function, where
a) a socket has a SOCK_DESTROY flag or
b) a listening socket has a SOCK_DEAD flag.
But in the case "a," when the SOCK_DESTROY flag is set, the file descriptor
has already been closed and the nr_release() function has been called.
So it makes no sense to hold the reference count because no one will
call another nr_destroy_socket() and put it as in the case "b."
nr_connect
nr_establish_data_link
nr_start_heartbeat
nr_release
switch (nr->state)
case NR_STATE_3
nr->state = NR_STATE_2
sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_DESTROY);
nr_rx_frame
nr_process_rx_frame
switch (nr->state)
case NR_STATE_2
nr_state2_machine()
nr_disconnect()
nr_sk(sk)->state = NR_STATE_0
sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD)
nr_heartbeat_expiry
switch (nr->state)
case NR_STATE_0
if (sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DESTROY) ||
(sk->sk_state == TCP_LISTEN
&& sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD)))
sock_hold() // ( !!! )
nr_destroy_socket()
To fix the memory leak, let's call sock_hold() only for a listening socket.

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
