This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mlxsw: core: Fix use-after-free in mlxsw_emad_trans_finish() to the 5.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mlxsw-core-fix-use-after-free-in-mlxsw_emad_trans_fi.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9e44ec940fa93b53819da22c0872a29740882ef7 Author: Amit Cohen <amcohen@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Oct 24 16:37:33 2020 +0300 mlxsw: core: Fix use-after-free in mlxsw_emad_trans_finish() [ Upstream commit 0daf2bf5a2dcf33d446b76360908f109816e2e21 ] Each EMAD transaction stores the skb used to issue the EMAD request ('trans->tx_skb') so that the request could be retried in case of a timeout. The skb can be freed when a corresponding response is received or as part of the retry logic (e.g., failed retransmit, exceeded maximum number of retries). The two tasks (i.e., response processing and retransmits) are synchronized by the atomic 'trans->active' field which ensures that responses to inactive transactions are ignored. In case of a failed retransmit the transaction is finished and all of its resources are freed. However, the current code does not mark it as inactive. Syzkaller was able to hit a race condition in which a concurrent response is processed while the transaction's resources are being freed, resulting in a use-after-free [1]. Fix the issue by making sure to mark the transaction as inactive after a failed retransmit and free its resources only if a concurrent task did not already do that.
