En un entorno arm64 de alta carga, la prueba pcrypt_aead01 en LTP puede provocar problemas de UAF (Use-After-Free) del sistema. Debido al extenso an\u00e1lisis de la llamada a la funci\u00f3n pcrypt_aead01, describir\u00e9 el escenario del problema usando un modelo simplificado: supongamos que hay un usuario de padata llamado `user_function` que cumple con el requisito de padata de llamar a `padata_free_shell` despu\u00e9s de `serial()`. ha sido invocado, como se demuestra en el siguiente c\u00f3digo: ```c struct request { struct padata_priv padata; finalizaci\u00f3n de la estructura *hecho; }; void paralelo(struct padata_priv *padata) { hacer_algo(); } void serial(struct padata_priv *padata) { solicitud de estructura *request = container_of(padata, solicitud de estructura, padata); completar(solicitud-\u0026gt;hecho); } void user_function() { DECLARE_COMPLETION(hecho) padata-\u0026gt;parallel = parallel; padata-\u0026gt;serial = serial; padata_do_parallel(); wait_for_completion(\u0026amp;hecho); padata_free_shell(); } ``` En el archivo padata.c correspondiente, hay el siguiente c\u00f3digo: ```c static void padata_serial_worker(struct work_struct *serial_work) { ... cnt = 0; while (!list_empty(\u0026amp;local_list)) { ... padata-\u0026gt;serial(padata); cnt++; } local_bh_enable(); if (refcount_sub_and_test(cnt, \u0026amp;pd-\u0026gt;refcnt)) padata_free_pd(pd); } ``` Debido a la alta carga del sistema y la acumulaci\u00f3n de software no ejecutado en este momento, `local_bh_enable()` en padata tarda m\u00e1s de lo habitual en ejecutarse. Posteriormente, al acceder a `pd-\u0026gt;refcnt`, `pd` ya ha sido liberado por `padata_free_shell()`, lo que genera un problema de UAF con `pd-\u0026gt;refcnt`. La soluci\u00f3n es sencilla: agregue `refcount_dec_and_test` antes de llamar a `padata_free_pd` en `padata_free_shell`.\"}],\"metrics\":{},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0dd34a7ad395dbcf6ae60e48e9786050e25b9bc5\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1734a79e951914f1db2c65e635012a35db1c674b\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1e901bcb8af19416b65f5063a4af7996e5a51d7f\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/41aad9d6953984d134fc50f631f24ef476875d4d\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ddc21e317b360c3444de3023bcc83b85fabae2f\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c7c26d0ef5d20f00dbb2ae3befcabbe0efa77275\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"}]}}"
