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

cachefiles: fix slab-use-after-free in cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read()

We got the following issue in a fuzz test of randomly issuing the restore
command:

Following is the process that triggers the issue:

     mount  |   daemon_thread1    |    daemon_thread2
------------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_withdraw_cookie
 cachefiles_ondemand_clean_object(object)
  cachefiles_ondemand_send_req
   REQ_A = kzalloc(sizeof(*req) + data_len)
   wait_for_completion(&REQ_A->done)

            cachefiles_daemon_read
             cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read
              REQ_A = cachefiles_ondemand_select_req
              msg->object_id = req->object->ondemand->ondemand_id
                                  ------ restore ------
                                  cachefiles_ondemand_restore
                                  xas_for_each(&xas, req, ULONG_MAX)
                                   xas_set_mark(&xas, CACHEFILES_REQ_NEW)

                                  cachefiles_daemon_read
                                   cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read
                                    REQ_A = cachefiles_ondemand_select_req
              copy_to_user(_buffer, msg, n)
               xa_erase(&cache->reqs, id)
               complete(&REQ_A->done)
              ------ close(fd) ------
              cachefiles_ondemand_fd_release
               cachefiles_put_object
 cachefiles_put_object
  kmem_cache_free(cachefiles_object_jar, object)
                                    REQ_A->object->ondemand->ondemand_id
                                     // object UAF !!!

When we see the request within xa_lock, req->object must not have been
freed yet, so grab the reference count of object before xa_unlock to
avoid the above issue.
