Message-ID: <2024022825-CVE-2021-46988-ae47@gregkh> Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2024 09:14:38 +0100 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-cve-announce@...r.kernel.org Cc: gregkh@...nel.org Subject: CVE-2021-46988: userfaultfd: release page in error path to avoid BUG_ON From: gregkh@...nel.org Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: userfaultfd: release page in error path to avoid BUG_ON Consider the following sequence of events: 1. Userspace issues a UFFD ioctl, which ends up calling into shmem_mfill_atomic_pte(). We successfully account the blocks, we shmem_alloc_page(), but then the copy_from_user() fails. We return -ENOENT. We don't release the page we allocated. 2. Our caller detects this error code, tries the copy_from_user() after dropping the mmap_lock, and retries, calling back into shmem_mfill_atomic_pte(). 3. Meanwhile, let's say another process filled up the tmpfs being used. 4. So shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() fails to account blocks this time, and immediately returns - without releasing the page. This triggers a BUG_ON in our caller, which asserts that the page should always be consumed, unless -ENOENT is returned. To fix this, detect if we have such a "dangling" page when accounting fails, and if so, release it before returning. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-46988 to this issue. Affected and fixed versions =========================== Issue introduced in 4.11 with commit cb658a453b93 and fixed in 4.14.233 with commit 319116227e52 Issue introduced in 4.11 with commit cb658a453b93 and fixed in 4.19.191 with commit 07c9b834c97d Issue introduced in 4.11 with commit cb658a453b93 and fixed in 5.4.120 with commit b3f1731c6d7f Issue introduced in 4.11 with commit cb658a453b93 and fixed in 5.10.38 with commit 140cfd998012 Issue introduced in 4.11 with commit cb658a453b93 and fixed in 5.11.22 with commit ad5312797303 Issue introduced in 4.11 with commit cb658a453b93 and fixed in 5.12.5 with commit 2d59a0ed8b26 Issue introduced in 4.11 with commit cb658a453b93 and fixed in 5.13 with commit 7ed9d238c7db Please see https://www.kernel.org or a full list of currently supported kernel versions by the kernel community. Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to older supported kernel versions. The official CVE entry at https://cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2021-46988 will be updated if fixes are backported, please check that for the most up to date information about this issue. Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: mm/shmem.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/319116227e52d49eee671f0aa278bac89b3c1b69 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/07c9b834c97d0fa3402fb7f3f3b32df370a6ff1f https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b3f1731c6d7fbc1ebe3ed8eff6d6bec56d76ff43 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/140cfd9980124aecb6c03ef2e69c72d0548744de https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ad53127973034c63b5348715a1043d0e80ceb330 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2d59a0ed8b26b8f3638d8afc31f839e27759f1f6 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ed9d238c7dbb1fdb63ad96a6184985151b0171c
