| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: fix slab-use-after-free in cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read()
We got the following issue in a fuzz test of randomly issuing the restore
command:

Following is the process that triggers the issue:
mount | daemon_thread1 | daemon_thread2
------------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_withdraw_cookie
cachefiles_ondemand_clean_object(object)
cachefiles_ondemand_send_req
REQ_A = kzalloc(sizeof(*req) + data_len)
wait_for_completion(&REQ_A->done)
cachefiles_daemon_read
cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read
REQ_A = cachefiles_ondemand_select_req
msg->object_id = req->object->ondemand->ondemand_id
------ restore ------
cachefiles_ondemand_restore
xas_for_each(&xas, req, ULONG_MAX)
xas_set_mark(&xas, CACHEFILES_REQ_NEW)
cachefiles_daemon_read
cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read
REQ_A = cachefiles_ondemand_select_req
copy_to_user(_buffer, msg, n)
xa_erase(&cache->reqs, id)
complete(&REQ_A->done)
------ close(fd) ------
cachefiles_ondemand_fd_release
cachefiles_put_object
cachefiles_put_object
kmem_cache_free(cachefiles_object_jar, object)
REQ_A->object->ondemand->ondemand_id
// object UAF !!!
When we see the request within xa_lock, req->object must not have been
freed yet, so grab the reference count of object before xa_unlock to
avoid the above issue. |
