From: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@huawei.com> stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.253 commit eb622d5580b9e2ff694f62da6410618bd73853cb category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IBP6IV CVE: CVE-2022-49648 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit 7edc3945bdce9c39198a10d6129377a5c53559c2 upstream. This reverts commit 46bbe5c671e06f070428b9be142cc4ee5cedebac. As commit 46bbe5c671e0 ("tracing: fix double free") said, the "double free" problem reported by clang static analyzer is:
In parse_var_defs() if there is a problem allocating var_defs.expr, the earlier var_defs.name is freed. This free is duplicated by free_var_defs() which frees the rest of the list.
However, if there is a problem allocating N-th var_defs.expr: + in parse_var_defs(), the freed 'earlier var_defs.name' is actually the N-th var_defs.name; + then in free_var_defs(), the names from 0th to (N-1)-th are freed; IF ALLOCATING PROBLEM HAPPENED HERE!!! -+ \ | 0th 1th (N-1)-th N-th V +-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+----------- var_defs: | name | expr | name | expr | ... | name | expr | name | /// +-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+----------- These two frees don't act on same name, so there was no "double free" problem before. Conversely, after that commit, we get a "memory leak" problem because the above "N-th var_defs.name" is not freed. If enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and inject a fault at where the N-th var_defs.expr allocated, then execute on shell like: $ echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=$v1,$v2:v1=bytes_req,v2=bytes_alloc' > \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger Then kmemleak reports: unreferenced object 0xffff8fb100ef3518 (size 8): comm "bash", pid 196, jiffies 4295681690 (age 28.538s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 76 31 00 00 b1 8f ff ff v1...... backtrace: [<0000000038fe4895>] kstrdup+0x2d/0x60 [<00000000c99c049a>] event_hist_trigger_parse+0x206f/0x20e0 [<00000000ae70d2cc>] trigger_process_regex+0xc0/0x110 [<0000000066737a4c>] event_trigger_write+0x75/0xd0 [<000000007341e40c>] vfs_write+0xbb/0x2a0 [<0000000087fde4c2>] ksys_write+0x59/0xd0 [<00000000581e9cdf>] do_syscall_64+0x3a/0x80 [<00000000cf3b065c>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220711014731.69520-1-zhengyejian1@huawei.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 46bbe5c671e0 ("tracing: fix double free") Reported-by: Hulk Robot <hulkci@huawei.com> Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reviewed-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Li Huafei <lihuafei1@huawei.com> --- kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c b/kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c index 638566ea7839..2f57eb241ac9 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c @@ -4155,6 +4155,8 @@ static int parse_var_defs(struct hist_trigger_data *hist_data) s = kstrdup(field_str, GFP_KERNEL); if (!s) { + kfree(hist_data->attrs->var_defs.name[n_vars]); + hist_data->attrs->var_defs.name[n_vars] = NULL; ret = -ENOMEM; goto free; } -- 2.25.1
