ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_mb_new_blocks
commit 4e8d2139802ce4f41936a687f06c560b12115247 upstream. ext4_mb_put_pa should hold pa->pa_lock before accessing pa->pa_count. While ext4_mb_use_preallocated checks pa->pa_deleted first and then increments pa->count later, ext4_mb_put_pa decrements pa->pa_count before holding pa->pa_lock and then sets pa->pa_deleted. * Free sequence ext4_mb_put_pa (1): atomic_dec_and_test pa->pa_count ext4_mb_put_pa (2): lock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_put_pa (3): check pa->pa_deleted ext4_mb_put_pa (4): set pa->pa_deleted=1 ext4_mb_put_pa (5): unlock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_put_pa (6): remove pa from a list ext4_mb_pa_callback: free pa * Use sequence ext4_mb_use_preallocated (1): iterate over preallocation ext4_mb_use_preallocated (2): lock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_use_preallocated (3): check pa->pa_deleted ext4_mb_use_preallocated (4): increase pa->pa_count ext4_mb_use_preallocated (5): unlock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_release_context: access pa * Use-after-free sequence [initial status] <pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 1> ext4_mb_use_preallocated (1): iterate over preallocation ext4_mb_use_preallocated (2): lock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_use_preallocated (3): check pa->pa_deleted ext4_mb_put_pa (1): atomic_dec_and_test pa->pa_count [pa_count decremented] <pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 0> ext4_mb_use_preallocated (4): increase pa->pa_count [pa_count incremented] <pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 1> ext4_mb_use_preallocated (5): unlock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_put_pa (2): lock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_put_pa (3): check pa->pa_deleted ext4_mb_put_pa (4): set pa->pa_deleted=1 [race condition!] <pa->pa_deleted = 1, pa_count = 1> ext4_mb_put_pa (5): unlock pa->pa_lock ext4_mb_put_pa (6): remove pa from a list ext4_mb_pa_callback: free pa ext4_mb_release_context: access pa AddressSanitizer has detected use-after-free in ext4_mb_new_blocks Bug report: http://goo.gl/rG1On3 Signed-off-by: Junho Ryu <jayr@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
