This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ubi: Fix UAF wear-leveling entry in eraseblk_count_seq_show() to the 4.14-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: ubi-fix-uaf-wear-leveling-entry-in-eraseblk_count_se.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5f3b2edbf693c99d5e5759ef680dc3e0a22e23bc Author: Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jul 30 19:28:37 2022 +0800 ubi: Fix UAF wear-leveling entry in eraseblk_count_seq_show() [ Upstream commit a240bc5c43130c6aa50831d7caaa02a1d84e1bce ] Wear-leveling entry could be freed in error path, which may be accessed again in eraseblk_count_seq_show(), for example: __erase_worker eraseblk_count_seq_show wl = ubi->lookuptbl[*block_number] if (wl) wl_entry_destroy ubi->lookuptbl[e->pnum] = NULL kmem_cache_free(ubi_wl_entry_slab, e) erase_count = wl->ec // UAF! Wear-leveling entry updating/accessing in ubi->lookuptbl should be protected by ubi->wl_lock, fix it by adding ubi->wl_lock to serialize wl entry accessing between wl_entry_destroy() and eraseblk_count_seq_show().
