CVE-2024-41058 Detail

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cachefiles: fix slab-use-after-free in fscache_withdraw_volume() We got the following issue in our fault injection stress test: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in fscache_withdraw_volume+0x2e1/0x370 Read of size 4 at addr ffff88810680be08 by task ondemand-04-dae/5798 CPU: 0 PID: 5798 Comm: ondemand-04-dae Not tainted 6.8.0-dirty #565 Call Trace: kasan_check_range+0xf6/0x1b0 fscache_withdraw_volume+0x2e1/0x370 cachefiles_withdraw_volume+0x31/0x50 cachefiles_withdraw_cache+0x3ad/0x900 cachefiles_put_unbind_pincount+0x1f6/0x250 cachefiles_daemon_release+0x13b/0x290 __fput+0x204/0xa00 task_work_run+0x139/0x230 Allocated by task 5820: __kmalloc+0x1df/0x4b0 fscache_alloc_volume+0x70/0x600 __fscache_acquire_volume+0x1c/0x610 erofs_fscache_register_volume+0x96/0x1a0 erofs_fscache_register_fs+0x49a/0x690 erofs_fc_fill_super+0x6c0/0xcc0 vfs_get_super+0xa9/0x140 vfs_get_tree+0x8e/0x300 do_new_mount+0x28c/0x580 [...] Freed by task 5820: kfree+0xf1/0x2c0 fscache_put_volume.part.0+0x5cb/0x9e0 erofs_fscache_unregister_fs+0x157/0x1b0 erofs_kill_sb+0xd9/0x1c0 deactivate_locked_super+0xa3/0x100 vfs_get_super+0x105/0x140 vfs_get_tree+0x8e/0x300 do_new_mount+0x28c/0x580 [...] ================================================================== Following is the process that triggers the issue: mount failed | daemon exit ------------------------------------------------------------ deactivate_locked_super cachefiles_daemon_release erofs_kill_sb erofs_fscache_unregister_fs fscache_relinquish_volume __fscache_relinquish_volume fscache_put_volume(fscache_volume, fscache_volume_put_relinquish) zero = __refcount_dec_and_test(&fscache_volume->ref, &ref); cachefiles_put_unbind_pincount cachefiles_daemon_unbind cachefiles_withdraw_cache cachefiles_withdraw_volumes list_del_init(&volume->cache_link) fscache_free_volume(fscache_volume) cache->ops->free_volume cachefiles_free_volume list_del_init(&cachefiles_volume->cache_link); kfree(fscache_volume) cachefiles_withdraw_volume fscache_withdraw_volume fscache_volume->n_accesses // fscache_volume UAF !!! The fscache_volume in cache->volumes must not have been freed yet, but its reference count may be 0. So use the new fscache_try_get_volume() helper function try to get its reference count. If the reference count of fscache_volume is 0, fscache_put_volume() is freeing it, so wait for it to be removed from cache->volumes. If its reference count is not 0, call cachefiles_withdraw_volume() with reference count protection to avoid the above issue.
