[PATCH v4] pps: Fix a use-after-free

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

 



On a board running ntpd and gpsd, I'm seeing a consistent use-after-free
in sys_exit() from gpsd when rebooting:

...followed by more symptoms of corruption, with similar stacks:

    refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
    kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:62!
    Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops - BUG: Fatal exception

This happens because pps_device_destruct() frees the pps_device with the
embedded cdev immediately after calling cdev_del(), but, as the comment
above cdev_del() notes, fops for previously opened cdevs are still
callable even after cdev_del() returns. I think this bug has always
been there: I can't explain why it suddenly started happening every time
I reboot this particular board.

In commit d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when
unregistering a source."), George Spelvin suggested removing the
embedded cdev. That seems like the simplest way to fix this, so I've
implemented his suggestion, using __register_chrdev() with pps_idr
becoming the source of truth for which minor corresponds to which
device.

But now that pps_idr defines userspace visibility instead of cdev_add(),
we need to be sure the pps->dev refcount can't reach zero while
userspace can still find it again. So, the idr_remove() call moves to
pps_unregister_cdev(), and pps_idr now holds a reference to pps->dev.

    pps_core: source serial1 got cdev (251:1)
    <...>
    pps pps1: removed
    pps_core: unregistering pps1
    pps_core: deallocating pps1

Fixes: d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when unregistering a source.")

Changes in v4:
- Fix compile error in ptp_ocp
- Change five dev_info() calls to dev_dbg()
Changes in v3:
- Shorten patch title
- Embed the device struct in the pps struct
- Use foo_device(&pps->dev) instead of kobject_foo(&pps->dev.kobj)
Changes in v2:
- Don't move pr_debug() from pps_device_destruct() to pps_unregister_cdev()
- Actually add stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to CC
