In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipc/mqueue, msg, sem: avoid relying on a stack reference past its expiry do_mq_timedreceive calls wq_sleep with a stack local address. The sender (do_mq_timedsend) uses this address to later call pipelined_send. This leads to a very hard to trigger race where a do_mq_timedreceive call might return and leave do_mq_timedsend to rely on an invalid address, causing the following crash: RIP: 0010:wake_q_add_safe+0x13/0x60 Call Trace: __x64_sys_mq_timedsend+0x2a9/0x490 do_syscall_64+0x80/0x680 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7f5928e40343 The race occurs as:
- do_mq_timedreceive calls wq_sleep with the address of
struct ext_wait_queueon function stack (aliased asewq_addrhere) - it holds a validstruct ext_wait_queue *as long as the stack has not been overwritten. ewq_addrgets added to info->e_wait_q[RECV].list in wq_add, and do_mq_timedsend receives it via wq_get_first_waiter(info, RECV) to call __pipelined_op.- Sender calls __pipelined_op::smp_store_release(&this->state,
STATE_READY). Here is where the race window begins. (
thisisewq_addr.) - If the receiver wakes up now in do_mq_timedreceive::wq_sleep, it
will see
state == STATE_READYand break. - do_mq_timedreceive returns, and
ewq_addris no longer guaranteed to be astruct ext_wait_queue *since it was on do_mq_timedreceive's stack. (Although the address may not get overwritten until another function happens to touch it, which means it can persist around for an indefinite time.) - do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() still believes
ewq_addris astruct ext_wait_queue *, and uses it to find a task_struct to pass to the wake_q_add_safe call. In the lucky case where nothing has overwrittenewq_addryet,ewq_addr->taskis the right task_struct. In the unlucky case, __pipelined_op::wake_q_add_safe gets handed a bogus address as the receiver's task_struct causing the crash. do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() should not dereferencethisafter setting STATE_READY, as the receiver counterpart is now free to return. Change __pipelined_op to call wake_q_add_safe on the receiver's task_struct returned by get_task_struct, instead of dereferencingthiswhich sits on the receiver's stack. As Manfred pointed out, the race potentially also exists in ipc/msg.c::expunge_all and ipc/sem.c::wake_up_sem_queue_prepare. Fix those in the same way.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IPC system. This flaw allows an attacker to use a specially crafted program to cause a rare race condition, leading to a denial of service.
