PD#OTT-5671 [Problem] The irda_setsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c and later in drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17 allows local users to cause a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket. [Solution] The irda_setsockopt() function conditionally allocates memory for a new self->ias_object or, in some cases, reuses the existing self->ias_object. Existing objects were incorrectly reinserted into the LM_IAS database which corrupted the doubly linked list used for the hashbin implementation of the LM_IAS database. When combined with a memory leak in irda_bind(), this issue could be leveraged to create a use-after-free vulnerability in the hashbin list. This patch fixes the issue by only inserting newly allocated objects into the database. [Test] Change-Id: Idbdc870be0064e331969b39a7b6e447c16a9073a Signed-off-by: Hanjie Lin <hanjie.lin@amlogic.com>
