- Summary
- btrfs: ref-verify: fix use-after-free after invalid ref action
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: ref-verify: fix use-after-free after invalid ref action
At btrfsreftreemod() after we successfully inserted the new ref entry (local variable 'ref') into the respective block entry's rbtree (local variable 'be'), if we find an unexpected action of BTRFSDROPDELAYEDREF, we error out and free the ref entry without removing it from the block entry's rbtree. Then in the error path of btrfsreftreemod() we call btrfsfreerefcache(), which iterates over all block entries and then calls freeblockentry() for each one, and there we will trigger a use-after-free when we are called against the block entry to which we added the freed ref entry to its rbtree, since the rbtree still points to the block entry, as we didn't remove it from the rbtree before freeing it in the error path at btrfsreftree_mod(). Fix this by removing the new ref entry from the rbtree before freeing it.
Syzbot report this with the following stack traces:
