Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix deadlock when freeing cgroup storage

The following commit bc235cdb423a ("bpf: Prevent deadlock from recursive bpf_task_storage_[get|delete]") first introduced deadlock prevention for fentry/fexit programs attaching on bpf_task_storage helpers. That commit also employed the logic in map free path in its v6 version.

Later bpf_cgrp_storage was first introduced in c4bcfb38a95e ("bpf: Implement cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf progs") which faces the same issue as bpf_task_storage, instead of its busy counter, NULL was passed to bpf_local_storage_map_free() which opened a window to cause deadlock:

</TASK>

Progs: - A: SEC("fentry/cgroup_storage_ptr") - cgid (BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH) Record the id of the cgroup the current task belonging to in this hash map, using the address of the cgroup as the map key. - cgrpa (BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE) If current task is a kworker, lookup the above hash map using function parameter @owner as the key to get its corresponding cgroup id which is then used to get a trusted pointer to the cgroup through bpf_cgroup_from_id(). This trusted pointer can then be passed to bpf_cgrp_storage_get() to finally trigger the deadlock issue. - B: SEC("tp_btf/sys_enter") - cgrpb (BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE) The only purpose of this prog is to fill Prog A's hash map by calling bpf_cgrp_storage_get() for as many userspace tasks as possible.

Steps to reproduce: - Run A; - while (true) { Run B; Destroy B; }

Fix this issue by passing its busy counter to the free procedure so it can be properly incremented before storage/smap locking.

That commit also employed the logic in map\nfree path in its v6 version.\n\nLater bpf_cgrp_storage was first introduced in\nc4bcfb38a95e (\"bpf: Implement cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf progs\")\nwhich faces the same issue as bpf_task_storage, instead of its busy\ncounter, NULL was passed to bpf_local_storage_map_free() which opened\na window to cause deadlock:\n\n\t\u003cTASK\u003e\n\t\t(acquiring local_storage-\u003elock)\n\t_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x3d/0x50\n\tbpf_local_storage_update+0xd1/0x460\n\tbpf_cgrp_storage_get+0x109/0x130\n\tbpf_prog_a4d4a370ba857314_cgrp_ptr+0x139/0x170\n\t? __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x16/0x80\n\tbpf_trampoline_6442485186+0x43/0xa4\n\tcgroup_storage_ptr+0x9/0x20\n\t\t(holding local_storage-\u003elock)\n\tbpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock.constprop.0+0x135/0x160\n\tbpf_selem_unlink_storage+0x6f/0x110\n\tbpf_local_storage_map_free+0xa2/0x110\n\tbpf_map_free_deferred+0x5b/0x90\n\tprocess_one_work+0x17c/0x390\n\tworker_thread+0x251/0x360\n\tkthread+0xd2/0x100\n\tret_from_fork+0x34/0x50\n\tret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n\t\u003c/TASK\u003e\n\nProgs:\n - A: SEC(\"fentry/cgroup_storage_ptr\")\n   - cgid (BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH)\n\tRecord the id of the cgroup the current task belonging\n\tto in this hash map, using the address of the cgroup\n\tas the map key.\n   - cgrpa (BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE)\n\tIf current task is a kworker, lookup the above hash\n\tmap using function parameter @owner as the key to get\n\tits corresponding cgroup id which is then used to get\n\ta trusted pointer to the cgroup through\n\tbpf_cgroup_from_id().

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
