ipmi: Fix use-after-free and list corruption on sender error
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipmi: Fix use-after-free and list corruption on sender error
The analysis from Breno:
When the SMI sender returns an error, smi_work() delivers an error
response but then jumps back to restart without cleaning up properly:
1. intf->curr_msg is not cleared, so no new message is pulled
2. newmsg still points to the message, causing sender() to be called
again with the same message
3. If sender() fails again, deliver_err_response() is called with
the same recv_msg that was already queued for delivery
This causes list_add corruption ("list_add double add") because the
recv_msg is added to the user_msgs list twice. Subsequently, the
corrupted list leads to use-after-free when the memory is freed and
reused, and eventually a NULL pointer dereference when accessing
recv_msg->done.
The buggy sequence:
sender() fails
-> deliver_err_response(recv_msg) // recv_msg queued for delivery
-> goto restart // curr_msg not cleared!
sender() fails again (same message!)
-> deliver_err_response(recv_msg) // tries to queue same recv_msg
-> LIST CORRUPTION
Fix this by freeing the message and setting it to NULL on a send error.
Also, always free the newmsg on a send error, otherwise it will leak.Daten sind bereitgestellt durch National Vulnerability Database (NVD)

CWE-416 Use After Free
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
