| Name | CVE-2022-50563 |
| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm thin: Fix UAF in run_timer_softirq() When dm_resume() and dm_destroy() are concurrent, it will lead to UAF, as follows: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __run_timers+0x173/0x710 Write of size 8 at addr ffff88816d9490f0 by task swapper/0/0 <snip> Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack_lvl+0x73/0x9f print_report.cold+0x132/0xaa2 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0xcd/0x160 __run_timers+0x173/0x710 kasan_report+0xad/0x110 __run_timers+0x173/0x710 __asan_store8+0x9c/0x140 __run_timers+0x173/0x710 call_timer_fn+0x310/0x310 pvclock_clocksource_read+0xfa/0x250 kvm_clock_read+0x2c/0x70 kvm_clock_get_cycles+0xd/0x20 ktime_get+0x5c/0x110 lapic_next_event+0x38/0x50 clockevents_program_event+0xf1/0x1e0 run_timer_softirq+0x49/0x90 __do_softirq+0x16e/0x62c __irq_exit_rcu+0x1fa/0x270 irq_exit_rcu+0x12/0x20 sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x8e/0xc0 One of the concurrency UAF can be shown as below: use free do_resume | __find_device_hash_cell | dm_get | atomic_inc(&md->holders) | | dm_destroy | __dm_destroy | if (!dm_suspended_md(md)) | atomic_read(&md->holders) | msleep(1) dm_resume | __dm_resume | dm_table_resume_targets | pool_resume | do_waker #add delay work | dm_put | atomic_dec(&md->holders) | | dm_table_destroy | pool_dtr | __pool_dec | __pool_destroy | destroy_workqueue | kfree(pool) # free pool time out __do_softirq run_timer_softirq # pool has already been freed This can be easily reproduced using: 1. create thin-pool 2. dmsetup suspend pool 3. dmsetup resume pool 4. dmsetup remove_all # Concurrent with 3 The root cause of this UAF bug is that dm_resume() adds timer after dm_destroy() skips cancelling the timer because of suspend status. After timeout, it will call run_timer_softirq(), however pool has already been freed. The concurrency UAF bug will happen. Therefore, cancelling timer again in __pool_destroy(). |
