Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] sctp: sctp_sock_filter(): avoid list_entry() on possibly empty list

Use list_is_first() to check whether tsp->asoc matches the first
element of ep->asocs, as the list is not guaranteed to have an entry.

Fixes: 8f840e47f190 ("sctp: add the sctp_diag.c file")
Signed-off-by: Pietro Borrello <[email protected]>

Changes in v2:
- Use list_is_first()
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
---

The list_entry on an empty list creates a type confused pointer.
While using it is undefined behavior, in this case it seems there
is no big risk, as the `tsp->asoc != assoc` check will almost
certainly fail on the type confused pointer.
We report this bug also since it may hide further problems since
the code seems to assume a non-empty `ep->asocs`.

We were able to trigger sctp_sock_filter() using syzkaller, and
cause a panic inserting `BUG_ON(list_empty(&ep->asocs))`, so the
list may actually be empty.
But we were not able to minimize our testcase and understand how
sctp_sock_filter may end up with an empty asocs list.
We suspect a race condition between a connecting sctp socket
and the diag query.

We attach the stacktrace when triggering the injected
`BUG_ON(list_empty(&ep->asocs))`:

Thanks for the analysis, but I'll put this in for 6.2 anyway.
The patch looks fairly straightforward / provably correct, and
with the Fixes tag present chances are it will end up in stable either
way. With a difference of maybe a week, since the merge window is just
a week away..
