While we already had various kind of bugs in that area
ec0223ec48a9 ("net: sctp: fix sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce to verify if
we/peer is AUTH capable") and b14878ccb7fa ("net: sctp: cache
auth_enable per endpoint"), this one is a bit of a different
kind.

Giving a bit more background on why SCTP authentication is
needed can be found in RFC4895:

  SCTP uses 32-bit verification tags to protect itself against
  blind attackers. These values are not changed during the
  lifetime of an SCTP association.

  Looking at new SCTP extensions, there is the need to have a
  method of proving that an SCTP chunk(s) was really sent by
  the original peer that started the association and not by a
  malicious attacker.

To cause this bug, we're triggering an INIT collision between
peers; normal SCTP handshake where both sides intent to
authenticate packets contains RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO
parameters that are being negotiated among peers:

  ---------- INIT[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] ---------->
  <------- INIT-ACK[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] ---------
  -------------------- COOKIE-ECHO -------------------->
  <-------------------- COOKIE-ACK ---------------------

RFC4895 says that each endpoint therefore knows its own random
number and the peer's random number *after* the association
has been established. The local and peer's random number along
with the shared key are then part of the secret used for
calculating the HMAC in the AUTH chunk.

Now, in our scenario, we have 2 threads with 1 non-blocking
SEQ_PACKET socket each, setting up common shared SCTP_AUTH_KEY
and SCTP_AUTH_ACTIVE_KEY properly, and each of them calling
sctp_bindx(3), listen(2) and connect(2) against each other,
thus the handshake looks similar to this, e.g.:

  ---------- INIT[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] ---------->
  <------- INIT-ACK[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] ---------
  <--------- INIT[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] -----------
  -------- INIT-ACK[RANDOM; CHUNKS; HMAC-ALGO] -------->
  ...

Since such collisions can also happen with verification tags,
the RFC4895 for AUTH rather vaguely says under section 6.1:

  In case of INIT collision, the rules governing the handling
  of this Random Number follow the same pattern as those for
  the Verification Tag, as explained in Section 5.2.4 of
  RFC 2960 [5]. Therefore, each endpoint knows its own Random
  Number and the peer's Random Number after the association
  has been established.

In RFC2960, section 5.2.4, we're eventually hitting Action B:

  B) In this case, both sides may be attempting to start an
     association at about the same time but the peer endpoint
     started its INIT after responding to the local endpoint's
     INIT. Thus it may have picked a new Verification Tag not
     being aware of the previous Tag it had sent this endpoint.
     The endpoint should stay in or enter the ESTABLISHED
     state but it MUST update its peer's Verification Tag from
     the State Cookie, stop any init or cookie timers that may
     running and send a COOKIE ACK.

In other words, the handling of the Random parameter is the
same as behavior for the Verification Tag as described in
Action B of section 5.2.4.

Looking at the code, we exactly hit the sctp_sf_do_dupcook_b()
case which triggers an SCTP_CMD_UPDATE_ASSOC command to the
side effect interpreter, and in fact it properly copies over
peer_{random, hmacs, chunks} parameters from the newly created
association to update the existing one.

Also, the old asoc_shared_key is being released and based on
the new params, sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() updated.
However, the issue observed in this case is that the previous
asoc->peer.auth_capable was 0, and has *not* been updated, so
that instead of creating a new secret, we're doing an early
return from the function sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key()
leaving asoc->asoc_shared_key as NULL. However, we now have to
authenticate chunks from the updated chunk list (e.g. COOKIE-ACK).

That in fact causes the server side when responding with ...

  <------------------ AUTH; COOKIE-ACK -----------------

... to trigger a NULL pointer dereference, since in
sctp_packet_transmit(), it discovers that an AUTH chunk is
being queued for xmit, and thus it calls sctp_auth_calculate_hmac().

Since the asoc->active_key_id is still inherited from the
endpoint, and the same as encoded into the chunk, it uses
asoc->asoc_shared_key, which is still NULL, as an asoc_key
and dereferences it in ...

  crypto_hash_setkey(desc.tfm, &asoc_key->data[0], asoc_key->len)

... causing an oops. All this happens because sctp_make_cookie_ack()
called with the *new* association has the peer.auth_capable=1
and therefore marks the chunk with auth=1 after checking
sctp_auth_send_cid(), but it is *actually* sent later on over
the then *updated* association's transport that didn't initialize
its shared key due to peer.auth_capable=0. Since control chunks
in that case are not sent by the temporary association which
are scheduled for deletion, they are issued for xmit via
SCTP_CMD_REPLY in the interpreter with the context of the
*updated* association. peer.auth_capable was 0 in the updated
association (which went from COOKIE_WAIT into ESTABLISHED state),
since all previous processing that performed sctp_process_init()
was being done on temporary associations, that we eventually
throw away each time.

The correct fix is to update to the new peer.auth_capable
value as well in the collision case via sctp_assoc_update(),
so that in case the collision migrated from 0 -> 1,
sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() can properly recalculate
the secret. This therefore fixes the observed server panic.
