ax25: Fix refcount leaks caused by ax25_cb_del()
commit 9fd75b66 upstream. The previous commit d01ffb9e ("ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to avoid UAF bugs") and commit feef318c ("ax25: fix UAF bugs of net_device caused by rebinding operation") increase the refcounts of ax25_dev and net_device in ax25_bind() and decrease the matching refcounts in ax25_kill_by_device() in order to prevent UAF bugs, but there are reference count leaks. The root cause of refcount leaks is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) ax25_bind() | ... | ax25_addr_ax25dev() | ax25_dev_hold() //(1) | ... | dev_hold_track() //(2) | ... | ax25_destroy_socket() | ax25_cb_del() | ... | hlist_del_init() //(3) | | (Thread 3) | ax25_kill_by_device() | ... | ax25_for_each(s, &ax25_list) { | if (s->ax25_dev == ax25_dev) //(4) | ... | Firstly, we use ax25_bind() to increase the refcount of ax25_dev in position (1) and increase the refcount of net_device in position (2). Then, we use ax25_cb_del() invoked by ax25_destroy_socket() to delete ax25_cb in hlist in position (3) before calling ax25_kill_by_device(). Finally, the decrements of refcounts in ax25_kill_by_device() will not be executed, because no s->ax25_dev equals to ax25_dev in position (4). This patch adds decrements of refcounts in ax25_release() and use lock_sock() to do synchronization. If refcounts decrease in ax25_release(), the decrements of refcounts in ax25_kill_by_device() will not be executed and vice versa.
