Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp: Unhash auto-bound connected sk from 4-tuple hash table when disconnected.
Let's say we bind() an UDP socket to the wildcard address with a non-zero port, connect() it to an address, and disconnect it from the address.
bind() sets SOCK_BINDPORT_LOCK on sk->sk_userlocks (but not SOCK_BINDADDR_LOCK), and connect() calls udp_lib_hash4() to put the socket into the 4-tuple hash table.
Then, __udp_disconnect() calls sk->sk_prot->rehash(sk).
It computes a new hash based on the wildcard address and moves the socket to a new slot in the 4-tuple hash table, leaving a garbage in the chain that no packet hits.
Let's remove such a socket from 4-tuple hash table when disconnected.
Note that udp_sk(sk)->udp_portaddr_hash needs to be udpated after udp_hash4_dec(hslot2) in udp_unhash4().
