[PATCH 4.19 12/23] batman-adv: Broken sync while rescheduling delayed work

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Vladislav Efanov <VEfanov@xxxxxxxxx>

commit abac3ac97fe8734b620e7322a116450d7f90aa43 upstream.

Syzkaller got a lot of crashes like:
KASAN: use-after-free Write in *_timers*

All of these crashes point to the same memory area:

The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88801f870000
 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-8k of size 8192
The buggy address is located 5320 bytes inside of
 8192-byte region [ffff88801f870000, ffff88801f872000)

This area belongs to :
        batadv_priv->batadv_priv_dat->delayed_work->timer_list

The reason for these issues is the lack of synchronization. Delayed
work (batadv_dat_purge) schedules new timer/work while the device
is being deleted. As the result new timer/delayed work is set after
cancel_delayed_work_sync() was called. So after the device is freed
the timer list contains pointer to already freed memory.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with syzkaller.
