HIGH

Linux Kernel 4.16-6.6.53, 6.7.0-6.10.12, 6.11.0-6.11.1 - Use-After-Free in f2fs_stop_gc_thread

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix to avoid use-after-free in f2fs_stop_gc_thread() syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:88 [inline] dump_stack_lvl+0x241/0x360 lib/dump_stack.c:114 print_report+0xe8/0x550 mm/kasan/report.c:491 kasan_report+0x143/0x180 mm/kasan/report.c:601 kasan_check_range+0x282/0x290 mm/kasan/generic.c:189 instrument_atomic_read_write include/linux/instrumented.h:96 [inline] atomic_fetch_add_relaxed include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:252 [inline] __refcount_add include/linux/refcount.h:184 [inline] __refcount_inc include/linux/refcount.h:241 [inline] refcount_inc include/linux/refcount.h:258 [inline] get_task_struct include/linux/sched/task.h:118 [inline] kthread_stop+0xca/0x630 kernel/kthread.c:704 f2fs_stop_gc_thread+0x65/0xb0 fs/f2fs/gc.c:210 f2fs_do_shutdown+0x192/0x540 fs/f2fs/file.c:2283 f2fs_ioc_shutdown fs/f2fs/file.c:2325 [inline] __f2fs_ioctl+0x443a/0xbe60 fs/f2fs/file.c:4325 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:907 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0xfc/0x170 fs/ioctl.c:893 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xf3/0x230 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f The root cause is below race condition, it may cause use-after-free issue in sbi->gc_th pointer. - remount - f2fs_remount - f2fs_stop_gc_thread - kfree(gc_th) - f2fs_ioc_shutdown - f2fs_do_shutdown - f2fs_stop_gc_thread - kthread_stop(gc_th->f2fs_gc_task) : sbi->gc_thread = NULL; We will call f2fs_do_shutdown() in two paths: - for f2fs_ioc_shutdown() path, we should grab sb->s_umount semaphore for fixing. - for f2fs_shutdown() path, it's safe since caller has already grabbed sb->s_umount semaphore.
