CVE-2021-47634

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ubi: Fix race condition between ctrl_cdev_ioctl and ubi_cdev_ioctl Hulk Robot reported a KASAN report about use-after-free: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __list_del_entry_valid+0x13d/0x160 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888035e37d98 by task ubiattach/1385 [...] Call Trace: klist_dec_and_del+0xa7/0x4a0 klist_put+0xc7/0x1a0 device_del+0x4d4/0xed0 cdev_device_del+0x1a/0x80 ubi_attach_mtd_dev+0x2951/0x34b0 [ubi] ctrl_cdev_ioctl+0x286/0x2f0 [ubi] Allocated by task 1414: device_add+0x60a/0x18b0 cdev_device_add+0x103/0x170 ubi_create_volume+0x1118/0x1a10 [ubi] ubi_cdev_ioctl+0xb7f/0x1ba0 [ubi] Freed by task 1385: cdev_device_del+0x1a/0x80 ubi_remove_volume+0x438/0x6c0 [ubi] ubi_cdev_ioctl+0xbf4/0x1ba0 [ubi] [...] ================================================================== 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

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ubi: Se corrige la condición de ejecución entre ctrl_cdev_ioctl y ubi_cdev_ioctl Hulk Robot informó un informe de KASAN sobre use-after-free: ====================================================================== ERROR: KASAN: use-after-free en __list_del_entry_valid+0x13d/0x160 Lectura de tamaño 8 en la dirección ffff888035e37d98 por la tarea ubiattach/1385 [...] Seguimiento de llamadas: klist_dec_and_del+0xa7/0x4a0 klist_put+0xc7/0x1a0 device_del+0x4d4/0xed0 cdev_device_del+0x1a/0x80 ubi_attach_mtd_dev+0x2951/0x34b0 [ubi] ctrl_cdev_ioctl+0x286/0x2f0 [ubi] Asignado por la tarea 1414: device_add+0x60a/0x18b0 cdev_device_add+0x103/0x170 ubi_create_volume+0x1118/0x1a10 [ubi] ubi_cdev_ioctl+0xb7f/0x1ba0 [ubi] Liberado por la tarea 1385: cdev_device_del+0x1a/0x80 ubi_remove_volume+0x438/0x6c0 [ubi] ubi_cdev_ioctl+0xbf4/0x1ba0 [ubi] [...] ===================================================================== El bloqueo retenido por ctrl_cdev_ioctl es ubi_devices_mutex, pero el bloqueo retenido por ubi_cdev_ioctl es ubi->device_mutex. Por lo tanto, los dos bloqueos pueden ser concurrentes. ctrl_cdev_ioctl contiene dos operaciones: ubi_attach y ubi_detach. ubi_detach está libre de errores porque utiliza el conteo de referencias para evitar la concurrencia. Sin embargo, uif_init y uif_close en ubi_attach pueden competir con ubi_cdev_ioctl. uif_init competirá con ubi_cdev_ioctl como en la siguiente pila. 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 existen kill_volumes ubi_cdev_ioctl ubi_remove_volume cdev_device_del // primer ubi_free_volume libre cdev_del // doble liberación cdev_device_del Y uif_close competirá con ubi_cdev_ioctl como en la siguiente pila. 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 // primera liberación ubi_free_volume // doble liberación La causa de este problema es que la confirmación 714fb87e8bc0 hace que el dispositivo esté "disponible" antes de que se pueda acceder a él a través de sysfs. Por lo tanto, revertimos la modificación. Solucionaremos la condición de ejecución entre la creación del dispositivo ubi y udev eliminando ubi_get_device en vol_attribute_show y dev_attribute_show. Esto evita el acceso a ubi_devices[ubi_num] no inicializados. ubi_get_device se utiliza para evitar que se eliminen los dispositivos durante la ejecución de sysfs. Sin embargo, ahora kernfs garantiza que los dispositivos no se eliminarán antes de que se liberen todos los recuentos de referencias. El proceso clave se muestra en la siguiente pila. 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
