The following commit: 39a0526fb3f7 ("x86/mm: Factor out LDT init from context init") renamed init_new_context() to init_new_context_ldt() and added a new init_new_context() which calls init_new_context_ldt(). However, the error code of init_new_context_ldt() was ignored. Consequently, if a memory allocation in alloc_ldt_struct() failed during a fork(), the ->context.ldt of the new task remained the same as that of the old task (due to the memcpy() in dup_mm()). ldt_struct's are not intended to be shared, so a use-after-free occurred after one task exited. Fix the bug by making init_new_context() pass through the error code of init_new_context_ldt(). This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following splat: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in free_ldt_struct.part.2+0x10a/0x150 arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:116 Read of size 4 at addr ffff88006d2cb7c8 by task kworker/u9:0/3710 CPU: 1 PID: 3710 Comm: kworker/u9:0 Not tainted 4.13.0-rc4-next-20170811 #2 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:16 [inline] dump_stack+0x194/0x257 lib/dump_stack.c:52 print_address_description+0x73/0x250 mm/kasan/report.c:252 kasan_report_error mm/kasan/report.c:351 [inline] kasan_report+0x24e/0x340 mm/kasan/report.c:409 __asan_report_load4_noabort+0x14/0x20 mm/kasan/report.c:429 free_ldt_struct.part.2+0x10a/0x150 arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:116 free_ldt_struct arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:173 [inline] destroy_context_ldt+0x60/0x80 arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:171 destroy_context arch/x86/include/asm/mmu_context.h:157 [inline] __mmdrop+0xe9/0x530 kernel/fork.c:889 mmdrop include/linux/sched/mm.h:42 [inline] exec_mmap fs/exec.c:1061 [inline] flush_old_exec+0x173c/0x1ff0 fs/exec.c:1291 load_elf_binary+0x81f/0x4ba0 fs/binfmt_elf.c:855 search_binary_handler+0x142/0x6b0 fs/exec.c:1652 exec_binprm fs/exec.c:1694 [inline] do_execveat_common.isra.33+0x1746/0x22e0 fs/exec.c:1816 do_execve+0x31/0x40 fs/exec.c:1860 call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x457/0x8f0 kernel/umh.c:100 ret_from_fork+0x2a/0x40 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:431 Allocated by task 3700: save_stack_trace+0x16/0x20 arch/x86/kernel/stacktrace.c:59 save_stack+0x43/0xd0 mm/kasan/kasan.c:447 set_track mm/kasan/kasan.c:459 [inline] kasan_kmalloc+0xad/0xe0 mm/kasan/kasan.c:551 kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x136/0x750 mm/slab.c:3627 kmalloc include/linux/slab.h:493 [inline] alloc_ldt_struct+0x52/0x140 arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:67 write_ldt+0x7b7/0xab0 arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:277 sys_modify_ldt+0x1ef/0x240 arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:307 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xbe Freed by task 3700: save_stack_trace+0x16/0x20 arch/x86/kernel/stacktrace.c:59 save_stack+0x43/0xd0 mm/kasan/kasan.c:447 set_track mm/kasan/kasan.c:459 [inline] kasan_slab_free+0x71/0xc0 mm/kasan/kasan.c:524 __cache_free mm/slab.c:3503 [inline] kfree+0xca/0x250 mm/slab.c:3820 free_ldt_struct.part.2+0xdd/0x150 arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:121 free_ldt_struct arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:173 [inline] destroy_context_ldt+0x60/0x80 arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:171 destroy_context arch/x86/include/asm/mmu_context.h:157 [inline] __mmdrop+0xe9/0x530 kernel/fork.c:889 mmdrop include/linux/sched/mm.h:42 [inline] __mmput kernel/fork.c:916 [inline] mmput+0x541/0x6e0 kernel/fork.c:927 copy_process.part.36+0x22e1/0x4af0 kernel/fork.c:1931 copy_process kernel/fork.c:1546 [inline] _do_fork+0x1ef/0xfb0 kernel/fork.c:2025 SYSC_clone kernel/fork.c:2135 [inline] SyS_clone+0x37/0x50 kernel/fork.c:2129 do_syscall_64+0x26c/0x8c0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:287 return_from_SYSCALL_64+0x0/0x7a Here is a C reproducer: #include <asm/ldt.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <signal.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <unistd.h> static void *fork_thread(void *_arg) { fork(); } int main(void) { struct user_desc desc = { .entry_number = 8191 }; syscall(__NR_modify_ldt, 1, &desc, sizeof(desc)); for (;;) { if (fork() == 0) { pthread_t t; srand(getpid()); pthread_create(&t, NULL, fork_thread, NULL); usleep(rand() % 10000); syscall(__NR_exit_group, 0); } wait(NULL); } } Note: the reproducer takes advantage of the fact that alloc_ldt_struct() may use vmalloc() to allocate a large ->entries array, and after commit: 5d17a73a2ebe ("vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed") it is possible for userspace to fail a task's vmalloc() by sending a fatal signal, e.g. via exit_group(). It would be more difficult to reproduce this bug on kernels without that commit. This bug only affected kernels with CONFIG_MODIFY_LDT_SYSCALL=y.
