From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>
The VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl can free a virtual console while tty_release()
is still running, causing a use-after-free in con_shutdown(). This
occurs because VT_DISALLOCATE considers a virtual console's
'struct vc_data' to be unused as soon as the corresponding tty's
refcount hits 0. But actually it may be still being closed.
Fix this by making vc_data be reference-counted via the embedded
'struct tty_port'. A newly allocated virtual console has refcount 1.
Opening it for the first time increments the refcount to 2. Closing it
for the last time decrements the refcount (in tty_operations::cleanup()
so that it happens late enough), as does VT_DISALLOCATE.
Reproducer:
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <linux/vt.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
if (fork()) {
for (;;)
close(open("/dev/tty5", O_RDWR));
} else {
int fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDWR);
for (;;)
ioctl(fd, VT_DISALLOCATE, 5);
}
}
