Message-ID: <2024102153-CVE-2024-49854-1ba5@gregkh> Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2024 14:18:56 +0200 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-cve-announce@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Subject: CVE-2024-49854: block, bfq: fix uaf for accessing waker_bfqq after splitting Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block, bfq: fix uaf for accessing waker_bfqq after splitting After commit 42c306ed7233 ("block, bfq: don't break merge chain in bfq_split_bfqq()"), if the current procress is the last holder of bfqq, the bfqq can be freed after bfq_split_bfqq(). Hence recored the bfqq and then access bfqq->waker_bfqq may trigger UAF. What's more, the waker_bfqq may in the merge chain of bfqq, hence just recored waker_bfqq is still not safe. Fix the problem by adding a helper bfq_waker_bfqq() to check if bfqq->waker_bfqq is in the merge chain, and current procress is the only holder. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-49854 to this issue. Affected and fixed versions =========================== Issue introduced in 5.10.227 with commit 3630a18846c7 Please see https://www.kernel.org for 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-2024-49854 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: block/bfq-iosched.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/63a07379fdb6c72450cb05294461c6016b8b7726 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/de0456460f2abf921e356ed2bd8da87a376680bd https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0780451f03bf518bc032a7c584de8f92e2d39d7f https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0b8bda0ff17156cd3f60944527c9d8c9f99f1583 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cae58d19121a70329cf971359e2518c93fec04fe https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1ba0403ac6447f2d63914fb760c44a3b19c44eaf
