* [PATCH] kernfs: fix UAF race condition in __kernfs_remove()
  2022-08-25 18:25 [syzbot] KASAN: use-after-free Read in __kernfs_remove syzbot

syzbot is reporting use-after-free read at __kernfs_remove() [1], for
commit 35beab0635f3cdd4 ("kernfs: restructure removal path to fix possible
premature return") missed that we need to keep a ref on "kn" as well as
"pos".

This race condition happens when two concurrent removers "T1" and "T2"
interfere due to kernfs_drain() temporarily dropping kernfs_rwsem.

  T1:                     T2:
  down_write(&root->kernfs_rwsem);
  do {
    pos = kernfs_leftmost_descendant(kn);
    kernfs_get(pos);
    kernfs_drain(pos) {
      up_write(&root->kernfs_rwsem);
                          down_write(&root->kernfs_rwsem);
                          do {
                            // Removes all children and "kn", but won't
                            // free T1's "pos" and "kn", for T1 has a ref
                            // on T1's "pos", and T1's "pos" in turn keeps
                            // a ref on "kn".
                            pos = kernfs_leftmost_descendant(kn);
                            kernfs_put(pos);
                          } while (pos != kn) // Will break.
                          up_write(&root->kernfs_rwsem);
      down_write(&root->kernfs_rwsem);
    }
    // Frees "pos" because this was the last ref, and also frees "kn"
    // because a ref by "pos" was gone (i.e. "kn" no longer has ref)
    // via "goto repeat;" inside kernfs_put().
    kernfs_put(pos);
  } while (pos != kn) // Will continue, despite "kn" already freed.

Isn't this already handled by:
	https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220913121723.691454-1-lk@c--e.de

that will show up in the next linux-next tree.

thanks,

Oh, I didn't know that patch.

But is that patch complete, for there are three __kernfs_remove() callers?

syzbot seems to think it works :)

syzbot's reproducer tested only kernfs_remove_by_name_ns() case.
I'm not sure whether e.g. __kernfs_remove() from kernfs_remove() is safe.

I had an older version of the patch that was rejected by Tejun Heo
on the grounds that external kernfs_remove callers must hold a reference
on their own or the race can happen even befor kernfs_remoe takes the
lock.

See  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220907200811.654034-1-lk@c--e.de/
for the details. I did convince myself that other callers of
kernfs_remove() have other means to ensure that there are no parallel
removes for the same node.

IMHO the kernfs interface's use of ref-counts is slightly unintuitive
but I think it is safe, now.

     regards   Christian
