CVE-2022-50145

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: sf-pdma: Add multithread support for a DMA channel When we get a DMA channel and try to use it in multiple threads it will cause oops and hanging the system. % echo 64 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/threads_per_chan % echo 10000 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/iterations % echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run [ 89.480664] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000a0 [ 89.488725] Oops [#1] [ 89.494708] CPU: 2 PID: 1008 Comm: dma0chan0-copy0 Not tainted 5.17.0-rc5 [ 89.509385] epc : vchan_find_desc+0x32/0x46 [ 89.513553] ra : sf_pdma_tx_status+0xca/0xd6 This happens because of data race. Each thread rewrite channels's descriptor as soon as device_prep_dma_memcpy() is called. It leads to the situation when the driver thinks that it uses right descriptor that actually is freed or substituted for other one. With current fixes a descriptor changes its value only when it has been used. A new descriptor is acquired from vc->desc_issued queue that is already filled with descriptors that are ready to be sent. Threads have no direct access to DMA channel descriptor. Now it is just possible to queue a descriptor for further processing.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: dmaengine: sf-pdma: Agregar soporte multihilo para un canal DMA Cuando obtenemos un canal DMA e intentamos usarlo en múltiples subprocesos, provocará errores y colgará el sistema. % echo 64 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/threads_per_chan % echo 10000 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/iterations % echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run [ 89.480664] No se puede manejar la desreferencia del puntero NULL del núcleo en la dirección virtual 00000000000000a0 [ 89.488725] Ups [#1] [ 89.494708] CPU: 2 PID: 1008 Comm: dma0chan0-copy0 No contaminado 5.17.0-rc5 [ 89.509385] epc : vchan_find_desc+0x32/0x46 [ 89.513553] ra : sf_pdma_tx_status+0xca/0xd6 Esto ocurre debido a la ejecución de datos. Cada hilo reescribe el descriptor del canal en cuanto se llama a device_prep_dma_memcpy(). Esto provoca que el controlador crea que está usando el descriptor correcto, pero en realidad se libera o sustituye a otro. Con las correcciones actuales, un descriptor cambia su valor solo cuando se ha usado. Se obtiene un nuevo descriptor de la cola vc->desc_issued, que ya contiene descriptores listos para enviarse. Los hilos no tienen acceso directo al descriptor del canal DMA. Ahora solo es posible poner en cola un descriptor para su posterior procesamiento.
