This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_mb_new_blocks to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.16. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 9a0f7d72dac3f7bf62698b9c6b6d82dd151ebdce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junho Ryu <jayr@google.com> Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2013 18:10:28 -0500 Subject: ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_mb_new_blocks commit 4e8d2139802ce4f41936a687f06c560b12115247 upstream. ext4_mb_put_pa should hold pa->pa_lock before accessing pa->pa_count. While ext4_mb_use_preallocated checks pa->pa_deleted first and then increments pa->count later, ext4_mb_put_pa decrements pa->pa_count before holding pa->pa_lock and then sets pa->pa_deleted. * Free sequence ext4_mb_put_pa (1): atomic_dec_and_test pa->pa_count ext4_mb_put_pa (2): lock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_put_pa (3): check pa->pa_deleted ext4_mb_put_pa (4): set pa->pa_deleted=1 ext4_mb_put_pa (5): unlock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_put_pa (6): remove pa from a list ext4_mb_pa_callback: free pa * Use sequence ext4_mb_use_preallocated (1): iterate over preallocation ext4_mb_use_preallocated (2): lock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_use_preallocated (3): check pa->pa_deleted ext4_mb_use_preallocated (4): increase pa->pa_count ext4_mb_use_preallocated (5): unlock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_release_context: access pa * Use-after-free sequence [initial status] <pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 1> ext4_mb_use_preallocated (1): iterate over preallocation ext4_mb_use_preallocated (2): lock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_use_preallocated (3): check pa->pa_deleted ext4_mb_put_pa (1): atomic_dec_and_test pa->pa_count [pa_count decremented] <pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 0> ext4_mb_use_preallocated (4): increase pa->pa_count [pa_count incremented] <pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 1> ext4_mb_use_preallocated (5): unlock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_put_pa (2): lock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_put_pa (3): check pa->pa_deleted ext4_mb_put_pa (4): set pa->pa_deleted=1 [race condition!] <pa->pa_deleted = 1, pa_count = 1> ext4_mb_put_pa (5): unlock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_put_pa (6): remove pa from a list ext4_mb_pa_callback: free pa ext4_mb_release_context: access pa AddressSanitizer has detected use-after-free in ext4_mb_new_blocks Bug report: http://goo.gl/rG1On3 Signed-off-by: Junho Ryu <jayr@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@canonical.com> --- fs/ext4/mballoc.c | 11 ++++++++--- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.2
