Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/ucma: Lock the handler in ucma_set_ib_path()
ucma_set_ib_path() calls ucma_event_handler() straight from the write()
path, without the handler lock that keeps ctx->file stable while a uevent
is queued. The handler re-reads ctx->file for every dereference:
mutex_lock(&ctx->file->mut); /* file A */
list_add_tail(&uevent->list, &ctx->file->event_list); /* file B */
mutex_unlock(&ctx->file->mut); /* file B */
wake_up_interruptible(&ctx->file->poll_wait); /* file B */
A concurrent ucma_migrate_id() reassigns ctx->file while the SET_OPTION
caller sleeps in mutex_lock(), so the list_add_tail() lands on file B's
event_list while only file A's mutex is held, racing every other user of
that list:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __list_add_valid_or_report+0x1aa/0x1c0
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888153c6a418 by task poc_corr/486
Call Trace:
__list_add_valid_or_report+0x1aa/0x1c0
ucma_event_handler+0x1be/0xc00
ucma_set_ib_path+0x45e/0x710
ucma_set_option+0x32e/0x590
ucma_write+0x1f9/0x330
Allocated by task 505:
ucma_write_cm_event+0x1a1/0x660
Freed by task 505:
kfree+0x1da/0x4c0
ucma_get_event+0x5d5/0x7e0
The freed object is a ucma_event that another thread dequeued from file B's
list under file B's mutex. File A's mut is left held on top of that,
wedging its next writer in uninterruptible sleep.
This path needs a bound and address-resolved cm_id, so it requires an RDMA
device to be present.
Take the handler lock around the call.
