In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix double free of anonymous device after snapshot creation failure
When creating a snapshot we may do a double free of an anonymous device in case there's an error committing the transaction. The second free may result in freeing an anonymous device number that was allocated by some other subsystem in the kernel or another btrfs filesystem.
The steps that lead to this:
-
At ioctl.c:create_snapshot() we allocate an anonymous device number and assign it to pending_snapshot->anon_dev;
-
Then we call btrfs_commit_transaction() and end up at transaction.c:create_pending_snapshot();
-
There we call btrfs_get_new_fs_root() and pass it the anonymous device number stored in pending_snapshot->anon_dev;
-
btrfs_get_new_fs_root() frees that anonymous device number because btrfs_lookup_fs_root() returned a root - someone else did a lookup of the new root already, which could some task doing backref
