- Summary
- dmaengine: idxd: Prevent use after free on completion memory
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: Prevent use after free on completion memory
On driver unload any pending descriptors are flushed at the time the interrupt is freed: idxddmaenginedrvremove() -> drvdisablewq() -> idxdwqfreeirq() -> idxdflushpending_descs().
If there are any descriptors present that need to be flushed this flow triggers a "not present" page fault as below:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ff391c97c70c9040 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
The address that triggers the fault is the address of the descriptor that was freed moments earlier via: drvdisablewq()->idxdwqfree_resources()
Fix the use after free by freeing the descriptors after any possible usage. This is done after idxdwqreset() to ensure that the memory remains accessible during possible completion writes by the device.
