From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@xxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit ebe06187bf2aec10d537ce4595e416035367d703 upstream. This fixes use-after-free of epi->fllink.next inside list loop macro. This loop actually releases elements in the body. The list is rcu-protected but here we cannot hold rcu_read_lock because we need to lock mutex inside. The obvious solution is to use list_for_each_entry_safe(). RCU-ness isn't essential because nobody can change this list under us, it's final fput for this file. The bug was introduced by ae10b2b4eb01 ("epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu") Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@xxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Stable <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 3.13+ Cc: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> --- fs/eventpoll.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/eventpoll.c b/fs/eventpoll.c index d76c9744c774..55ebb8886014 100644 --- a/fs/eventpoll.c +++ b/fs/eventpoll.c @@ -910,7 +910,7 @@ static const struct file_operations eventpoll_fops = { void eventpoll_release_file(struct file *file) { struct eventpoll *ep; - struct epitem *epi; + struct epitem *epi, *next; /* * We don't want to get "file->f_lock" because it is not @@ -926,7 +926,7 @@ void eventpoll_release_file(struct file *file) * Besides, ep_remove() acquires the lock, so we can't hold it here. */ mutex_lock(&epmutex); - list_for_each_entry_rcu(epi, &file->f_ep_links, fllink) { + list_for_each_entry_safe(epi, next, &file->f_ep_links, fllink) { ep = epi->ep; mutex_lock_nested(&ep->mtx, 0); ep_remove(ep, epi); -- 2.0.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
