mainline inclusion from mainline-5.13-rc1 commit ad216c0316ad6391d90f4de0a7f59396b2925a06 category: feature bugzilla: NA CVE: NA
---------------------------
A potential use after free can occur in _vm_unmap_aliases where an already freed vmap_area could be accessed, Consider the following scenario:
Process 1 Process 2
__vm_unmap_aliases __vm_unmap_aliases purge_fragmented_blocks_allcpus rcu_read_lock() rcu_read_lock() list_del_rcu(&vb->free_list) list_for_each_entry_rcu(vb .. ) __purge_vmap_area_lazy kmem_cache_free(va) va_start = vb->va->va_start
Here Process 1 is in purge path and it does list_del_rcu on vmap_block and later frees the vmap_area, since Process 2 was holding the rcu lock at this time vmap_block will still be present in and Process 2 accesse it and thereby it tries to access vmap_area of that vmap_block which was already freed by Process 1 and this results in use after free.
Fix this by adding a check for vb->dirty before accessing vmap_area structure since vb->dirty will be set to VMAP_BBMAP_BITS in purge path checking for this will prevent the use after free.
