Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: fix rcu protection in md_wakeup_thread
We attempted to use RCU to protect the pointer 'thread', but directly
passed the value when calling md_wakeup_thread(). This means that the
RCU pointer has been acquired before rcu_read_lock(), which renders
rcu_read_lock() ineffective and could lead to a use-after-free.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's MD RAID subsystem. The RCU protection in md_wakeup_thread() is ineffective because the thread pointer is acquired before the rcu_read_lock() is taken. This ordering error means the pointer can be freed while still in use, leading to a potential use-after-free condition.
Отчет
This vulnerability affects systems using MD software RAID. The RCU protection bug creates a window where the thread pointer could be freed during use. Exploiting this requires specific timing during MD thread operations. The impact is limited to denial of service through potential memory corruption or crash.
