CVE-2024-43853

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cgroup/cpuset: Prevent UAF in proc_cpuset_show() An UAF can happen when /proc/cpuset is read as reported in [1]. This can be reproduced by the following methods: 1.add an mdelay(1000) before acquiring the cgroup_lock In the cgroup_path_ns function. 2.$cat /proc/<pid>/cpuset repeatly. 3.$mount -t cgroup -o cpuset cpuset /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/ $umount /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/ repeatly. The race that cause this bug can be shown as below: (umount) | (cat /proc/<pid>/cpuset) css_release | proc_cpuset_show css_release_work_fn | css = task_get_css(tsk, cpuset_cgrp_id); css_free_rwork_fn | cgroup_path_ns(css->cgroup, ...); cgroup_destroy_root | mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex); rebind_subsystems | cgroup_free_root | | // cgrp was freed, UAF | cgroup_path_ns_locked(cgrp,..); When the cpuset is initialized, the root node top_cpuset.css.cgrp will point to &cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp. In cgroup v1, the mount operation will allocate cgroup_root, and top_cpuset.css.cgrp will point to the allocated &cgroup_root.cgrp. When the umount operation is executed, top_cpuset.css.cgrp will be rebound to &cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp. The problem is that when rebinding to cgrp_dfl_root, there are cases where the cgroup_root allocated by setting up the root for cgroup v1 is cached. This could lead to a Use-After-Free (UAF) if it is subsequently freed. The descendant cgroups of cgroup v1 can only be freed after the css is released. However, the css of the root will never be released, yet the cgroup_root should be freed when it is unmounted. This means that obtaining a reference to the css of the root does not guarantee that css.cgrp->root will not be freed. Fix this problem by using rcu_read_lock in proc_cpuset_show(). As cgroup_root is kfree_rcu after commit d23b5c577715 ("cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU safe"), css->cgroup won't be freed during the critical section. To call cgroup_path_ns_locked, css_set_lock is needed, so it is safe to replace task_get_css with task_css. [1] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=9b1ff7be974a403aa4cd

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: cgroup/cpuset: Prevenir UAF en proc_cpuset_show() Puede ocurrir un UAF cuando se lee /proc/cpuset como se informa en [1]. Esto se puede reproducir mediante los siguientes métodos: 1.Agregue un mdelay(1000) antes de adquirir cgroup_lock en la función cgroup_path_ns. 2.$cat /proc//cpuset repetidamente. 3.$mount -t cgroup -o cpuset cpuset /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/ $umount /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/ repetidamente. La ejecución que causa este error se puede mostrar a continuación: (umount) | (cat /proc//cpuset) css_release | proc_cpuset_show css_release_work_fn | css = task_get_css(tsk, cpuset_cgrp_id); css_free_rwork_fn | cgroup_path_ns(css-&gt;cgroup, ...); cgroup_destroy_root | mutex_lock(&amp;cgroup_mutex); rebind_subsistemas | cgroup_free_root | | // cgrp fue liberado, UAF | cgroup_path_ns_locked(cgrp,..); Cuando se inicializa cpuset, el nodo raíz top_cpuset.css.cgrp apuntará a &amp;cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp. En cgroup v1, la operación de montaje asignará cgroup_root y top_cpuset.css.cgrp apuntará al &amp;cgroup_root.cgrp asignado. Cuando se ejecuta la operación desmontaje, top_cpuset.css.cgrp se rebotará en &amp;cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp. El problema es que al volver a vincular a cgrp_dfl_root, hay casos en los que el cgroup_root asignado al configurar la raíz para cgroup v1 se almacena en caché. Esto podría dar lugar a un use-after-free (UAF) si se libera posteriormente. Los cgroups descendientes de cgroup v1 solo se pueden liberar después de que se publique el CSS. Sin embargo, el CSS de la raíz nunca se liberará, pero cgroup_root debe liberarse cuando se desmonta. Esto significa que obtener una referencia al CSS de la raíz no garantiza que css.cgrp-&gt;root no se libere. Solucione este problema usando rcu_read_lock en proc_cpuset_show(). Como cgroup_root es kfree_rcu después del commit d23b5c577715 ("cgroup: hacer que las operaciones en la RCU cgroup root_list sean seguras"), css-&gt;cgroup no se liberará durante la sección crítica. Para llamar a cgroup_path_ns_locked, se necesita css_set_lock, por lo que es seguro reemplazar task_get_css con task_css. [1] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=9b1ff7be974a403aa4cd
