This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: qedf: Fix a UAF bug in __qedf_probe() to the 5.19-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: scsi-qedf-fix-a-uaf-bug-in-__qedf_probe.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 74b80201f18ff3febc8a063a56254df2fcf61f93 Author: Letu Ren <fantasquex@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 12 20:06:41 2021 +0800 scsi: qedf: Fix a UAF bug in __qedf_probe() [ Upstream commit fbfe96869b782364caebae0445763969ddb6ea67 ] In __qedf_probe(), if qedf->cdev is NULL which means qed_ops->common->probe() failed, then the program will goto label err1, and scsi_host_put() will free lport->host pointer. Because the memory qedf points to is allocated by libfc_host_alloc(), it will be freed by scsi_host_put(). However, the if statement below label err0 only checks whether qedf is NULL but doesn't check whether the memory has been freed. So a UAF bug can occur. There are two ways to reach the statements below err0. The first one is described as before, "qedf" should be set to NULL. The second one is goto "err0" directly. In the latter scenario qedf hasn't been changed and it has the initial value NULL. As a result the if statement is not reachable in any situation. The KASAN logs are as follows: [ 2.312969] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __qedf_probe+0x5dcf/0x6bc0 [ 2.312969] [ 2.312969] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.12.0-59-gc9ba5276e321-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [ 2.312969] Call Trace: [ 2.312969] dump_stack_lvl+0x59/0x7b [ 2.312969] print_address_description+0x7c/0x3b0 [ 2.312969] ? __qedf_probe+0x5dcf/0x6bc0 [ 2.312969] __kasan_report+0x160/0x1c0 [ 2.312969] ? __qedf_probe+0x5dcf/0x6bc0 [ 2.312969] kasan_report+0x4b/0x70 [ 2.312969] ? kobject_put+0x25d/0x290 [ 2.312969] kasan_check_range+0x2ca/0x310 [ 2.312969] __qedf_probe+0x5dcf/0x6bc0 [ 2.312969] ? selinux_kernfs_init_security+0xdc/0x5f0 [ 2.312969] ? trace_rpm_return_int_rcuidle+0x18/0x120 [ 2.312969] ? rpm_resume+0xa5c/0x16e0 [ 2.312969] ? qedf_get_generic_tlv_data+0x160/0x160 [ 2.312969] local_pci_probe+0x13c/0x1f0 [ 2.312969] pci_device_probe+0x37e/0x6c0 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211112120641.16073-1-fantasquex@xxxxxxxxx Reported-by: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Saurav Kashyap <skashyap@xxxxxxxxxxx> Co-developed-by: Wende Tan <twd2.me@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Wende Tan <twd2.me@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Letu Ren <fantasquex@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Martin K.
