ax25: fix UAF bugs of net_device caused by rebinding operation



commit feef318c upstream.

The ax25_kill_by_device() will set s->ax25_dev = NULL and
call ax25_disconnect() to change states of ax25_cb and
sock, if we call ax25_bind() before ax25_kill_by_device().

However, if we call ax25_bind() again between the window of
ax25_kill_by_device() and ax25_dev_device_down(), the values
and states changed by ax25_kill_by_device() will be reassigned.

Finally, ax25_dev_device_down() will deallocate net_device.
If we dereference net_device in syscall functions such as
ax25_release(), ax25_sendmsg(), ax25_getsockopt(), ax25_getname()
and ax25_info_show(), a UAF bug will occur.

One of the possible race conditions is shown below:

      (USE)                   |      (FREE)
ax25_bind()                   |
                              |  ax25_kill_by_device()
ax25_bind()                   |
ax25_connect()                |    ...
                              |  ax25_dev_device_down()
                              |    ...
                              |    dev_put_track(dev, ...) //FREE
ax25_release()                |    ...
  ax25_send_control()         |
    alloc_skb()      //USE    |

the corresponding fail log is shown below:

In order to fix these UAF bugs caused by rebinding operation,
this patch adds dev_hold_track() into ax25_bind() and
corresponding dev_put_track() into ax25_kill_by_device().
