CVE-2022-50095

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: posix-cpu-timers: Cleanup CPU timers before freeing them during exec Commit 55e8c8eb2c7b ("posix-cpu-timers: Store a reference to a pid not a task") started looking up tasks by PID when deleting a CPU timer. When a non-leader thread calls execve, it will switch PIDs with the leader process. Then, as it calls exit_itimers, posix_cpu_timer_del cannot find the task because the timer still points out to the old PID. That means that armed timers won't be disarmed, that is, they won't be removed from the timerqueue_list. exit_itimers will still release their memory, and when that list is later processed, it leads to a use-after-free. Clean up the timers from the de-threaded task before freeing them. This prevents a reported use-after-free.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: posix-cpu-timers: Limpiar los temporizadores de CPU antes de liberarlos durante la ejecución. el commit 55e8c8eb2c7b ("posix-cpu-timers: Almacenar una referencia a un PID, no a una tarea") comenzó a buscar tareas por PID al eliminar un temporizador de CPU. Cuando un subproceso no líder llama a execve, intercambia los PID con el proceso líder. Luego, al llamar a exit_itimers, posix_cpu_timer_del no puede encontrar la tarea porque el temporizador aún apunta al PID anterior. Esto significa que los temporizadores armados no se desarmarán; es decir, no se eliminarán de timerqueue_list. exit_itimers liberará su memoria y, cuando esa lista se procese posteriormente, se generará un Use-After-Free. Limpie los temporizadores de la tarea desprovista de subprocesos antes de liberarlos. Esto evita un Use-After-Free reportado.
