In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix possible use-after-free in async command interface
mlx5cmdcleanupasyncctx should return only after all its callback handlers were completed. Before this patch, the below race between mlx5cmdcleanupasyncctx and mlx5cmdexeccbhandler was possible and lead to a use-after-free:
- mlx5cmdcleanupasyncctx is called while num_inflight is 2 (i.e. elevated by 1, a single inflight callback).
- mlx5cmdcleanupasyncctx decreases num_inflight to 1.
- mlx5cmdexeccbhandler is called, decreases numinflight to 0 and is about to call wakeup().
- mlx5cmdcleanupasyncctx calls waitevent, which returns immediately as the condition (numinflight == 0) holds.
- mlx5cmdcleanupasyncctx returns.
- The caller of mlx5cmdcleanupasyncctx frees the mlx5asyncctx object.
- mlx5cmdexeccbhandler goes on and calls wake_up() on the freed object.
Fix it by syncing using a completion object. Mark it completed when num_inflight reaches 0.
