CVE-2022-50819 Detail

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udmabuf: Set ubuf->sg = NULL if the creation of sg table fails When userspace tries to map the dmabuf and if for some reason (e.g. OOM) the creation of the sg table fails, ubuf->sg needs to be set to NULL. Otherwise, when the userspace subsequently closes the dmabuf fd, we'd try to erroneously free the invalid sg table from release_udmabuf resulting in the following crash reported by syzbot: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] CPU: 0 PID: 3609 Comm: syz-executor487 Not tainted 5.19.0-syzkaller-13930-g7ebfc85e2cd7 #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 07/22/2022 RIP: 0010:dma_unmap_sgtable include/linux/dma-mapping.h:378 [inline] RIP: 0010:put_sg_table drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c:89 [inline] RIP: 0010:release_udmabuf+0xcb/0x4f0 drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c:114 Code: 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 2b 04 00 00 48 8d 7d 0c 4c 8b 63 30 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 <0f> b6 14 02 48 89 f8 83 e0 07 83 c0 03 38 d0 7c 08 84 d2 0f 85 e2 RSP: 0018:ffffc900037efd30 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffffffff8cb67800 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff84ad27e0 RDI: 0000000000000000 RBP: fffffffffffffff4 R08: 0000000000000005 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000000008c07c R12: ffff88801fa05000 R13: ffff888073db07e8 R14: ffff888025c25440 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000555555fc4300(0000) GS:ffff8880b9a00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007fc1c0ce06e4 CR3: 00000000715e6000 CR4: 00000000003506f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: <TASK> dma_buf_release+0x157/0x2d0 drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c:78 __dentry_kill+0x42b/0x640 fs/dcache.c:612 dentry_kill fs/dcache.c:733 [inline] dput+0x806/0xdb0 fs/dcache.c:913 __fput+0x39c/0x9d0 fs/file_table.c:333 task_work_run+0xdd/0x1a0 kernel/task_work.c:177 ptrace_notify+0x114/0x140 kernel/signal.c:2353 ptrace_report_syscall include/linux/ptrace.h:420 [inline] ptrace_report_syscall_exit include/linux/ptrace.h:482 [inline] syscall_exit_work kernel/entry/common.c:249 [inline] syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0x129/0x280 kernel/entry/common.c:276 __syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work kernel/entry/common.c:281 [inline] syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x9/0x50 kernel/entry/common.c:294 do_syscall_64+0x42/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:86 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd RIP: 0033:0x7fc1c0c35b6b Code: 0f 05 48 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 45 c3 0f 1f 40 00 48 83 ec 18 89 7c 24 0c e8 63 fc ff ff 8b 7c 24 0c 41 89 c0 b8 03 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 35 44 89 c7 89 44 24 0c e8 a1 fc ff ff 8b 44 RSP: 002b:00007ffd78a06090 EFLAGS: 00000293 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000003 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000007 RCX: 00007fc1c0c35b6b RDX: 0000000020000280 RSI: 0000000040086200 RDI: 0000000000000006 RBP: 0000000000000007 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000293 R12: 000000000000000c R13: 0000000000000003 R14: 00007fc1c0cfe4a0 R15: 00007ffd78a06140 </TASK> Modules linked in: ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- RIP: 0010:dma_unmap_sgtable include/linux/dma-mapping.h:378 [inline] RIP: 0010:put_sg_table drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c:89 [inline] RIP: 0010:release_udmabuf+0xcb/0x4f0 drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c:114
