From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2669b8b0c798fbe1a31d49e07aa33233d469ad9b upstream. On binder_release(), binder_defer_work(proc, BINDER_DEFERRED_RELEASE) is called which punts the actual cleanup operation to a workqueue. At some point, binder_deferred_func() will be called which will end up calling binder_deferred_release() which will retrieve and cleanup the binder_context attach to this struct binder_proc. If we trace back where this binder_context is attached to binder_proc we see that it is set in binder_open() and is taken from the struct binder_device it is associated with. This obviously assumes that the struct binder_device that context is attached to is _never_ freed. While that might be true for devtmpfs binder devices it is most certainly wrong for binderfs binder devices. So, assume binder_open() is called on a binderfs binder devices. We now stash away the struct binder_context associated with that struct binder_devices: proc->context = &binder_dev->context; /* binderfs stashes devices in i_private */ if (is_binderfs_device(nodp)) { binder_dev = nodp->i_private; info = nodp->i_sb->s_fs_info; binder_binderfs_dir_entry_proc = info->proc_log_dir; } else { . . . proc->context = &binder_dev->context; Now let's assume that the binderfs instance for that binder devices is shutdown via umount() and/or the mount namespace associated with it goes away. As long as there is still an fd open for that binderfs binder device things are fine. But let's assume we now close the last fd for that binderfs binder device. Now binder_release() is called and punts to the workqueue. Assume that the workqueue has quite a bit of stuff to do and doesn't get to cleaning up the struct binder_proc and the associated struct binder_context with it for that binderfs binder device right away. In the meantime, the VFS is killing the super block and is ultimately calling sb->evict_inode() which means it will call binderfs_evict_inode() which does: static void binderfs_evict_inode(struct inode *inode) { struct binder_device *device = inode->i_private; struct binderfs_info *info = BINDERFS_I(inode); clear_inode(inode); if (!S_ISCHR(inode->i_mode) || !device) return; mutex_lock(&binderfs_minors_mutex); --info->device_count; ida_free(&binderfs_minors, device->miscdev.minor); mutex_unlock(&binderfs_minors_mutex); kfree(device->context.name); kfree(device); } thereby freeing the struct binder_device including struct binder_context. Now the workqueue finally has time to get around to cleaning up struct binder_proc and is now trying to access the associate struct binder_context. Since it's already freed it will OOPs. Fix this by holding an additional reference to the inode that is only released once the workqueue is done cleaning up struct binder_proc. This is an easy alternative to introducing separate refcounting on struct binder_device which we can always do later if it becomes necessary. This is an alternative fix to 51d8a7eca677 ("binder: prevent UAF read in print_binder_transaction_log_entry()").
