CVE-2024-53171

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ubifs: authentication: Fix use-after-free in ubifs_tnc_end_commit After an insertion in TNC, the tree might split and cause a node to change its `znode->parent`. A further deletion of other nodes in the tree (which also could free the nodes), the aforementioned node's `znode->cparent` could still point to a freed node. This `znode->cparent` may not be updated when getting nodes to commit in `ubifs_tnc_start_commit()`. This could then trigger a use-after-free when accessing the `znode->cparent` in `write_index()` in `ubifs_tnc_end_commit()`. This can be triggered by running rm -f /etc/test-file.bin dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/test-file.bin bs=1M count=60 conv=fsync in a loop, and with `CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_AUTHENTICATION`. KASAN then reports: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ubifs_tnc_end_commit+0xa5c/0x1950 Write of size 32 at addr ffffff800a3af86c by task ubifs_bgt0_20/153 Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x340 show_stack+0x18/0x24 dump_stack_lvl+0x9c/0xbc print_address_description.constprop.0+0x74/0x2b0 kasan_report+0x1d8/0x1f0 kasan_check_range+0xf8/0x1a0 memcpy+0x84/0xf4 ubifs_tnc_end_commit+0xa5c/0x1950 do_commit+0x4e0/0x1340 ubifs_bg_thread+0x234/0x2e0 kthread+0x36c/0x410 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Allocated by task 401: kasan_save_stack+0x38/0x70 __kasan_kmalloc+0x8c/0xd0 __kmalloc+0x34c/0x5bc tnc_insert+0x140/0x16a4 ubifs_tnc_add+0x370/0x52c ubifs_jnl_write_data+0x5d8/0x870 do_writepage+0x36c/0x510 ubifs_writepage+0x190/0x4dc __writepage+0x58/0x154 write_cache_pages+0x394/0x830 do_writepages+0x1f0/0x5b0 filemap_fdatawrite_wbc+0x170/0x25c file_write_and_wait_range+0x140/0x190 ubifs_fsync+0xe8/0x290 vfs_fsync_range+0xc0/0x1e4 do_fsync+0x40/0x90 __arm64_sys_fsync+0x34/0x50 invoke_syscall.constprop.0+0xa8/0x260 do_el0_svc+0xc8/0x1f0 el0_svc+0x34/0x70 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x108/0x114 el0t_64_sync+0x1a4/0x1a8 Freed by task 403: kasan_save_stack+0x38/0x70 kasan_set_track+0x28/0x40 kasan_set_free_info+0x28/0x4c __kasan_slab_free+0xd4/0x13c kfree+0xc4/0x3a0 tnc_delete+0x3f4/0xe40 ubifs_tnc_remove_range+0x368/0x73c ubifs_tnc_remove_ino+0x29c/0x2e0 ubifs_jnl_delete_inode+0x150/0x260 ubifs_evict_inode+0x1d4/0x2e4 evict+0x1c8/0x450 iput+0x2a0/0x3c4 do_unlinkat+0x2cc/0x490 __arm64_sys_unlinkat+0x90/0x100 invoke_syscall.constprop.0+0xa8/0x260 do_el0_svc+0xc8/0x1f0 el0_svc+0x34/0x70 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x108/0x114 el0t_64_sync+0x1a4/0x1a8 The offending `memcpy()` in `ubifs_copy_hash()` has a use-after-free when a node becomes root in TNC but still has a `cparent` to an already freed node. More specifically, consider the following TNC: zroot / / zp1 / / zn Inserting a new node `zn_new` with a key smaller then `zn` will trigger a split in `tnc_insert()` if `zp1` is full: zroot / \ / \ zp1 zp2 / \ / \ zn_new zn `zn->parent` has now been moved to `zp2`, *but* `zn->cparent` still points to `zp1`. Now, consider a removal of all the nodes _except_ `zn`. Just when `tnc_delete()` is about to delete `zroot` and `zp2`: zroot \ \ zp2 \ \ zn `zroot` and `zp2` get freed and the tree collapses: zn `zn` now becomes the new `zroot`. `get_znodes_to_commit()` will now only find `zn`, the new `zroot`, and `write_index()` will check its `znode->cparent` that wrongly points to the already freed `zp1`. `ubifs_copy_hash()` thus gets wrongly called with `znode->cparent->zbranch[znode->iip].hash` that triggers the use-after-free! Fix this by explicitly setting `znode->cparent` to `NULL` in `get_znodes_to_commit()` for the root node. The search for the dirty nodes ---truncated---

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ubifs: authentication: Fix use-after-free en ubifs_tnc_end_commit Después de una inserción en TNC, el árbol podría dividirse y hacer que un nodo cambie su `znode->parent`. Una eliminación adicional de otros nodos en el árbol (que también podría liberar los nodos), el `znode->cparent` del nodo mencionado anteriormente aún podría apuntar a un nodo liberado. Este `znode->cparent` puede no actualizarse al hacer que los nodos se comprometan en `ubifs_tnc_start_commit()`. Esto podría desencadenar un use-after-free al acceder a `znode->cparent` en `write_index()` en `ubifs_tnc_end_commit()`. Esto se puede activar ejecutando rm -f /etc/test-file.bin dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/test-file.bin bs=1M count=60 conv=fsync en un bucle y con `CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_AUTHENTICATION`. KASAN luego informa: ERROR: KASAN: use-after-free en ubifs_tnc_end_commit+0xa5c/0x1950 Escritura de tamaño 32 en la dirección ffffff800a3af86c por la tarea ubifs_bgt0_20/153 Rastreo de llamadas: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x340 show_stack+0x18/0x24 dump_stack_lvl+0x9c/0xbc print_address_description.constprop.0+0x74/0x2b0 kasan_report+0x1d8/0x1f0 kasan_check_range+0xf8/0x1a0 memcpy+0x84/0xf4 ubifs_tnc_end_commit+0xa5c/0x1950 Asignado por la tarea 401: kasan_save_stack+0x38/0x70 __kasan_kmalloc+0x8c/0xd0 __kmalloc+0x34c/0x5bc tnc_insert+0x140/0x16a4 ubifs_tnc_add+0x370/0x52c ubifs_jnl_write_data+0x5d8/0x870 do_writepage+0x36c/0x510 ubifs_writepage+0x190/0x4dc __writepage+0x58/0x154 escritura_caché_páginas+0x394/0x830 do_writepages+0x1f0/0x5b0 filemap_fdatawrite_wbc+0x170/0x25c intervalo_de_escritura_y_espera_de_archivo+0x140/0x190 ubifs_fsync+0xe8/0x290 intervalo_de_fsync_vfs+0xc0/0x1e4 do_fsync+0x40/0x90 __arm64_sys_fsync+0x34/0x50 invocar_llamada_al_sistema.constprop.0+0xa8/0x260 do_el0_svc+0xc8/0x1f0 el0_svc+0x34/0x70 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x108/0x114 el0t_64_sync+0x1a4/0x1a8 Liberado por la tarea 403: kasan_save_stack+0x38/0x70 kasan_set_track+0x28/0x40 kasan_set_free_info+0x28/0x4c __kasan_slab_free+0xd4/0x13c kfree+0xc4/0x3a0 tnc_delete+0x3f4/0xe40 ubifs_tnc_remove_range+0x368/0x73c ubifs_tnc_remove_ino+0x29c/0x2e0 ubifs_jnl_delete_inode+0x150/0x260 ubifs_evict_inode+0x1d4/0x2e4 El `memcpy()` ofensivo en `ubifs_copy_hash()` tiene un use-after-free cuando un nodo se convierte en raíz en TNC pero aún tiene un `cparent` para un nodo ya liberado. Más específicamente, considere la siguiente TNC: zroot // zp1 // zn Insertar un nuevo nodo `zn_new` con una clave menor que `zn` activará una división en `tnc_insert()` si `zp1` está lleno: zroot / \ / \ zp1 zp2 / \ / \ zn_new zn `zn->parent` ahora se ha movido a `zp2`, *pero* `zn->cparent` todavía apunta a `zp1`. Ahora, considere una eliminación de todos los nodos _excepto_ `zn`. Justo cuando `tnc_delete()` está a punto de eliminar `zroot` y `zp2`: zroot \ \ zp2 \ \ zn `zroot` y `zp2` se liberan y el árbol colapsa: zn `zn` ahora se convierte en el nuevo `zroot`. `get_znodes_to_commit()` ahora solo encontrará `zn`, el nuevo `zroot`, y `write_index()` verificará su `znode->cparent` que apunta erróneamente al `zp1` ya liberado. Por lo tanto, `ubifs_copy_hash()` se llama erróneamente con `znode->cparent->zbranch[znode->iip].hash` que activa el use-after-free. Solucione esto configurando explícitamente `znode->cparent` en `NULL` en `get_znodes_to_commit()` para el nodo raíz. La búsqueda de los nodos sucios ---truncada---
