Hi all,
I find a potential Use-after-free in QEMU 6.2.0, which is in virtio_iommu_handle_command() (./hw/virtio/virtio-iommu.c).
Specifically, in the loop body, the variable 'buf' allocated at line 639 can be freed by g_free() at line 659. However, if the execution path enters the loop body again and the if branch takes true at line 616, the control will directly jump to 'out' at line 651. At this time, 'buf' is a freed pointer, which is not assigned with an allocated memory but used at line 653. As a result, a UAF bug is triggered.
599 for (;;) {
...
615 sz = iov_to_buf(iov, iov_cnt, 0, &head, sizeof(head));
616 if (unlikely(sz != sizeof(head))) {
617 tail.status = VIRTIO_IOMMU_S_DEVERR;
618 goto out;
619 }
...
639 buf = g_malloc0(output_size);
...
651out:
652 sz = iov_from_buf(elem->in_sg, elem->in_num, 0,
653 buf ? buf : &tail, output_size);
...
659 g_free(buf);
660 }
We can fix it by set ‘buf‘ to NULL after freeing it:
651out:
652 sz = iov_from_buf(elem->in_sg, elem->in_num, 0,
653 buf ? buf : &tail, output_size);
...
659 g_free(buf);
+++buf = NULL;
660 }
I'm looking forward to your confirmation.
Best,
Wentao
