4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Wang Hai <wanghai38@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 3bb2a01caa813d3a1845d378bbe4169ef280d394 upstream. In kobject_get_path(), if kobj->name is changed between calls get_kobj_path_length() and fill_kobj_path() and the length becomes longer, then fill_kobj_path() will have an out-of-bounds bug. The actual current problem occurs when the ixgbe probe. In ixgbe_mii_bus_init(), if the length of netdev->dev.kobj.name length becomes longer, out-of-bounds will occur. cpu0 cpu1 ixgbe_probe register_netdev(netdev) netdev_register_kobject device_add kobject_uevent // Sending ADD events systemd-udevd // rename netdev dev_change_name device_rename kobject_rename ixgbe_mii_bus_init | mdiobus_register | __mdiobus_register | device_register | device_add | kobject_uevent | kobject_get_path | len = get_kobj_path_length // old name | path = kzalloc(len, gfp_mask); | kobj->name = name; /* name length becomes * longer */ fill_kobj_path /* kobj path length is * longer than path, * resulting in out of * bounds when filling path */ This is the kasan report: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in fill_kobj_path+0x50/0xc0 Write of size 7 at addr ff1100090573d1fd by task kworker/28:1/673 Workqueue: events work_for_cpu_fn Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x48 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x86/0x1e7 print_report+0x36/0x4f kasan_report+0xad/0x130 kasan_check_range+0x35/0x1c0 memcpy+0x39/0x60 fill_kobj_path+0x50/0xc0 kobject_get_path+0x5a/0xc0 kobject_uevent_env+0x140/0x460 device_add+0x5c7/0x910 __mdiobus_register+0x14e/0x490 ixgbe_probe.cold+0x441/0x574 [ixgbe] local_pci_probe+0x78/0xc0 work_for_cpu_fn+0x26/0x40 process_one_work+0x3b6/0x6a0 worker_thread+0x368/0x520 kthread+0x165/0x1a0 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 This reproducer triggers that bug: while: do rmmod ixgbe sleep 0.5 modprobe ixgbe sleep 0.5 When calling fill_kobj_path() to fill path, if the name length of kobj becomes longer, return failure and retry.
