Subject: CVE-2024-40899: cachefiles: fix slab-use-after-free in cachefiles_ondemand_get_fd()

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cachefiles: fix slab-use-after-free in cachefiles_ondemand_get_fd()

We got the following issue in a fuzz test of randomly issuing the restore
command:

   REQ_A = kzalloc(sizeof(*req) + data_len)
   wait_for_completion(&REQ_A->done)

            cachefiles_daemon_read
             cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read
              REQ_A = cachefiles_ondemand_select_req

              copy_to_user(_buffer, msg, n)

                                    REQ_A = cachefiles_ondemand_select_req

             write(devfd, ("copen %u,%llu", msg->msg_id, size));
             cachefiles_ondemand_copen
              xa_erase(&cache->reqs, id)
              complete(&REQ_A->done)
   kfree(REQ_A)
                                    cachefiles_ondemand_get_fd(REQ_A)
                                     fd = get_unused_fd_flags
                                     file = anon_inode_getfile
                                     fd_install(fd, file)
                                     load = (void *)REQ_A->msg.data;
                                     load->fd = fd;
                                     // load UAF !!!

This issue is caused by issuing a restore command when the daemon is still
alive, which results in a request being processed multiple times thus
triggering a UAF. So to avoid this problem, add an additional reference
count to cachefiles_req, which is held while waiting and reading, and then
released when the waiting and reading is over.

Note that since there is only one reference count for waiting, we need to
avoid the same request being completed multiple times, so we can only
complete the request if it is successfully removed from the xarray.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-40899 to this issue.

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:
