Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/slub: avoid zeroing outside-object freepointer for single free Commit 284f17ac13fe ("mm/slub: handle bulk and single object freeing separately") splits single and bulk object freeing in two functions slab_free() and slab_free_bulk() which leads slab_free() to call slab_free_hook() directly instead of slab_free_freelist_hook(). If `init_on_free` is set, slab_free_hook() zeroes the object. Afterward, if `slub_debug=F` and `CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED` are set, the do_slab_free() slowpath executes freelist consistency checks and try to decode a zeroed freepointer which leads to a "Freepointer corrupt" detection in check_object(). During bulk free, slab_free_freelist_hook() isn't affected as it always sets it objects freepointer using set_freepointer() to maintain its reconstructed freelist after `init_on_free`. For single free, object's freepointer thus needs to be avoided when stored outside the object if `init_on_free` is set. The freepointer left as is, check_object() may later detect an invalid pointer value due to objects overflow. To reproduce, set `slub_debug=FU init_on_free=1 log_level=7` on the command line of a kernel build with `CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y`. dmesg sample log: [ 10.708715] ============================================================================= [ 10.710323] BUG kmalloc-rnd-05-32 (Tainted: G B T ): Freepointer corrupt [ 10.712695] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ 10.712695] [ 10.712695] Slab 0xffffd8bdc400d580 objects=32 used=4 fp=0xffff9d9a80356f80 flags=0x200000000000a00(workingset|slab|node=0|zone=2) [ 10.716698] Object 0xffff9d9a80356600 @offset=1536 fp=0x7ee4f480ce0ecd7c [ 10.716698] [ 10.716698] Bytes b4 ffff9d9a803565f0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................

Si se establece `init_on_free`, slab_free_hook() pone a cero el objeto. Luego, si se configuran `slub_debug=F` y `CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED`, la ruta lenta do_slab_free() ejecuta comprobaciones de coherencia de la lista libre e intenta decodificar un freepointer puesto a cero, lo que conduce a una detecci\u00f3n de \\\"Freepointer corrupto\\\" en check_object(). Durante la liberaci\u00f3n masiva, slab_free_freelist_hook() no se ve afectado ya que siempre establece el puntero libre de sus objetos usando set_freepointer() para mantener su lista libre reconstruida despu\u00e9s de `init_on_free`.

El puntero libre se deja como est\u00e1, check_object() puede detectar m\u00e1s adelante un valor de puntero no v\u00e1lido debido a un desbordamiento de objetos.
