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 buggy address belongs to the object at ffff8881243384b8
which belongs to the cache jffs2_xattr_ref of size 48
The buggy address is located 40 bytes inside of
48-byte region [ffff8881243384b8, ffff8881243384e8)
[...]
==================================================================
The triggering of the BUG is shown in the following stack:
-----------------------------------------------------------
jffs2_fill_super
jffs2_do_fill_super
jffs2_do_mount_fs
jffs2_build_filesystem
jffs2_scan_medium
jffs2_scan_eraseblock <--- ERROR
jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem <--- free
jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem <--- free again
-----------------------------------------------------------
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.
