ubi: Fix race condition between ctrl_cdev_ioctl and ubi_cdev_ioctl

Hulk Robot reported a KASAN report about use-after-free:

The lock held by ctrl_cdev_ioctl is ubi_devices_mutex, but the lock held by ubi_cdev_ioctl is ubi->device_mutex. Therefore, the two locks can be concurrent.

ctrl_cdev_ioctl contains two operations: ubi_attach and ubi_detach. ubi_detach is bug-free because it uses reference counting to prevent concurrency. However, uif_init and uif_close in ubi_attach may race with ubi_cdev_ioctl.

uif_init will race with ubi_cdev_ioctl as in the following stack. cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 ||_____________________ ctrl_cdev_ioctl ubi_attach_mtd_dev uif_init ubi_cdev_ioctl ubi_create_volume cdev_device_add ubi_add_volume // sysfs exist kill_volumes ubi_cdev_ioctl ubi_remove_volume cdev_device_del // first free ubi_free_volume cdev_del // double free cdev_device_del

And uif_close will race with ubi_cdev_ioctl as in the following stack. cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 ||_____________________ ctrl_cdev_ioctl ubi_attach_mtd_dev uif_init ubi_cdev_ioctl ubi_create_volume cdev_device_add ubi_debugfs_init_dev //error goto out_uif; uif_close kill_volumes ubi_cdev_ioctl ubi_remove_volume cdev_device_del // first free ubi_free_volume // double free

The cause of this problem is that commit 714fb87e8bc0 make device "available" before it becomes accessible via sysfs. Therefore, we roll back the modification. We will fix the race condition between ubi device creation and udev by removing ubi_get_device in vol_attribute_show and dev_attribute_show.This avoids accessing uninitialized ubi_devices[ubi_num].

ubi_get_device is used to prevent devices from being deleted during sysfs execution. However, now kernfs ensures that devices will not be deleted before all reference counting are released. The key process is shown in the following stack.

device_del device_remove_attrs device_remove_groups sysfs_remove_groups sysfs_remove_group remove_files kernfs_remove_by_name kernfs_remove_by_name_ns __kernfs_remove kernfs_drain(CVE-2021-47634)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

jffs2: fix use-after-free in jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem

When we mount a jffs2 image, assume that the first few blocks of the image are normal and contain at least one xattr-related inode, but the next block is abnormal. As a result, an error is returned in jffs2_scan_eraseblock(). jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem() is then called in jffs2_build_filesystem() and then again in jffs2_do_fill_super().

Finally we can observe the following report:

The triggering of the BUG is shown in the following stack:

An error is returned in jffs2_do_mount_fs(). If the error is returned by jffs2_sum_init(), the jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem() does not need to be executed. If the error is returned by jffs2_build_filesystem(), the jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem() also does not need to be executed again. So move jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem() from 'out_inohash' to 'out_root' to fix this UAF problem.(CVE-2021-47656)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm: fix unexpected zeroed page mapping with zram swap

Two processes under CLONE_VM cloning, user process can be corrupted by seeing zeroed page unexpectedly.

  CPU A                        CPU B

do_swap_page do_swap_page SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path swap_readpage valid data swap_slot_free_notify delete zram entry swap_readpage zeroed(invalid) data pte_lock map the zero data to userspace pte_unlock pte_lock if (!pte_same) goto out_nomap; pte_unlock return and next refault will read zeroed data

The swap_slot_free_notify is bogus for CLONE_VM case since it doesn't increase the refcount of swap slot at copy_mm so it couldn't catch up whether it's safe or not to discard data from backing device. In the case, only the lock it could rely on to synchronize swap slot freeing is page table lock. Thus, this patch gets rid of the swap_slot_free_notify function. With this patch, CPU A will see correct data.

  CPU A                        CPU B

do_swap_page do_swap_page SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path swap_readpage original data pte_lock map the original data swap_free swap_range_free bd_disk->fops->swap_slot_free_notify swap_readpage read zeroed data pte_unlock pte_lock if (!pte_same) goto out_nomap; pte_unlock return on next refault will see mapped data by CPU B

The concern of the patch would increase memory consumption since it could keep wasted memory with compressed form in zram as well as uncompressed form in address space. However, most of cases of zram uses no readahead and do_swap_page is followed by swap_free so it will free the compressed form from in zram quickly.(CVE-2022-49052)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rxrpc: fix a race in rxrpc_exit_net()

Current code can lead to the following race:

CPU0 CPU1

rxrpc_exit_net() rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker() if (rxnet->live)

rxnet->live = false; del_timer_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer);

                                                         timer_reduce(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer, jiffies + delay);

cancel_work_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_work);

rxrpc_exit_net() exits while peer_keepalive_timer is still armed, leading to use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drivers: staging: rtl8192e: Fix deadlock in rtllib_beacons_stop()

There is a deadlock in rtllib_beacons_stop(), which is shown below:

(Thread 1) | (Thread 2) | rtllib_send_beacon() rtllib_beacons_stop() | mod_timer() spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | (wait a time) ... | rtllib_send_beacon_cb() del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irqsave() //(2) (wait timer to stop) | ...

We hold ieee->beacon_lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler also need ieee->beacon_lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result, rtllib_beacons_stop() will block forever.

This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of spin_lock_irqsave(), which could let timer handler to obtain the needed lock.(CVE-2022-49315)

The lock held by ext4_convert_inline_data is xattr_sem, but the lock held by generic_perform_write is i_rwsem. Therefore, the two locks can be concurrent.

To solve above issue, we add inode_lock() for ext4_convert_inline_data(). At the same time, move ext4_convert_inline_data() in front of ext4_punch_hole(), remove similar handling from ext4_punch_hole().(CVE-2022-49414)

There is a possibility for mdp5_get_global_state to return -EDEADLK when acquiring the modeset lock, but currently global_state in mdp5_mixer_release doesn't check for if an error is returned.

To avoid a NULL dereference error, let's have mdp5_mixer_release check if an error is returned and propagate that error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cpufreq: governor: Use kobject release() method to free dbs_data

The struct dbs_data embeds a struct gov_attr_set and the struct gov_attr_set embeds a kobject. Since every kobject must have a release() method and we can't use kfree() to free it directly, so introduce cpufreq_dbs_data_release() to release the dbs_data via the kobject::release() method. This fixes the calltrace like below:

Problem was that pf reset calls i40e_vsi_close in prep_for_reset and ethtool -t calls i40e_vsi_close in diag_test. If there was not enough time between those commands the second i40e_vsi_close starts before previous i40e_vsi_close was done which leads to crash.

Similar to the handling of play_deferred in commit 19cfe912c37b ("Bluetooth: btusb: Fix memory leak in play_deferred"), we thought a patch might be needed here as well.

Currently usb_submit_urb is called directly to submit deferred tx urbs after unanchor them.

Bluetooth: L2CAP: handle NULL sock pointer in l2cap_sock_alloc

A NULL sock pointer is passed into l2cap_sock_alloc() when it is called from l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb() and the error handling paths should also be aware of it.

Seemingly a more elegant solution would be to swap bt_sock_alloc() and l2cap_chan_create() calls since they are not interdependent to that moment but then l2cap_chan_create() adds the soon to be deallocated and still dummy-initialized channel to the global list accessible by many L2CAP paths. The channel would be removed from the list in short period of time but be a bit more straight-forward here and just check for NULL instead of changing the order of function calls.
