- Summary
- mm/damon/sysfs: fix use-after-free in state_show()
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs: fix use-after-free in state_show()
stateshow() reads kdamond->damonctx without holding damonsysfslock. This allows a use-after-free race:
CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- stateshow() damonsysfsturndamonon() ctx = kdamond->damonctx; mutexlock(&damonsysfslock); damondestroyctx(kdamond->damonctx); kdamond->damonctx = NULL; mutexunlock(&damonsysfslock); damonisrunning(ctx); /* ctx is freed / mutex_lock(&ctx->kdamond_lock); / UAF */
(The race can also occur with damonsysfskdamondsrmdirs() and damonsysfskdamondrelease(), which free or replace the context under damonsysfs_lock.)
Fix by taking damonsysfslock before dereferencing the context, mirroring the locking used in pid_show().
The bug has existed since stateshow() first accessed kdamond->damonctx.
