Yes, that's correct. First thread 3645 allocated the list in scsi_setup_fs_cmnd(). Then thread 1095 freed it in scsi_io_completion(). Then thread 3645 accessed the list in ata_scsi_queuecmd(). > The sglist is directly from scsi_cmnd and use-after-free > there is likely to be quite noticeable. Note that we've seen this only once during several weeks of running trinity syscall fuzzer. So it's not something that happens all that frequently. This may explain why it was not noticed before. Also a use-after-free bug has some chances to silently corrupt heap and/or read garbage, but still survive. > Any chance you guys aren't > following mempool based allocations correctly? This is quite unlikely, I've looked at mempool code and I do not think it can affect tool operation. We intercept kmalloc/kmem_cache_free, poison the memory block and put it into a delay reuse queue. Then watch for memory accesses that access poisoned memory ranges. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
