Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix race in perf_mmap_close function
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2020 12:41:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200910104153.1672460-1-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)
There's a possible race in perf_mmap_close when checking ring buffer's
mmap_count refcount value. The problem is that the mmap_count check is
not atomic because we call atomic_dec and atomic_read separately.
perf_mmap_close:
...
atomic_dec(&rb->mmap_count);
...
if (atomic_read(&rb->mmap_count))
goto out_put;
<ring buffer detach>
free_uid
out_put:
ring_buffer_put(rb); /* could be last */
The race can happen when we have two (or more) events sharing same ring
buffer and they go through atomic_dec and then they both see 0 as refcount
value later in atomic_read. Then both will go on and execute code which
is meant to be run just once.
The code that detaches ring buffer is probably fine to be executed more
than once, but the problem is in calling free_uid, which will later on
demonstrate in related crashes and refcount warnings, like:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
...
RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x6d/0xf
...
Call Trace:
prepare_creds+0x190/0x1e0
copy_creds+0x35/0x172
copy_process+0x471/0x1a80
_do_fork+0x83/0x3a0
__do_sys_wait4+0x83/0x90
__do_sys_clone+0x85/0xa0
do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x1e0
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9
Using atomic decrease and check instead of separated calls.
This fixes CVE-2020-14351.
