Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: suspend array while updating raid_disks via sysfs
In raid1_reshape(), freeze_array() is called before modifying the r1bio
memory pool (conf->r1bio_pool) and conf->raid_disks, and
unfreeze_array() is called after the update is completed.
However, freeze_array() only waits until nr_sync_pending and
(nr_pending - nr_queued) of all buckets reaches zero. When an I/O error
occurs, nr_queued is increased and the corresponding r1bio is queued to
either retry_list or bio_end_io_list. As a result, freeze_array() may
unblock before these r1bios are released.
This can lead to a situation where conf->raid_disks and the mempool have
already been updated while queued r1bios, allocated with the old
raid_disks value, are later released. Consequently, free_r1bio() may
access memory out of bounds in put_all_bios() and release r1bios of the
wrong size to the new mempool, potentially causing issues with the
mempool as well.
Since only normal I/O might increase nr_queued while an I/O error occurs,
suspending the array avoids this issue.
Note: Updating raid_disks via ioctl SET_ARRAY_INFO already suspends
the array. Therefore, we suspend the array when updating raid_disks
via sysfs to avoid this issue too.
A race condition flaw was found in the Linux kernel's MD RAID1 driver. When updating the raid_disks count via sysfs during concurrent I/O errors, the freeze_array() function may return before all queued r1bio structures are released. This can cause free_r1bio() to access memory out of bounds and potentially corrupt the memory pool when r1bios allocated with the old raid_disks value are freed to the resized mempool.
Отчет
Exploiting this flaw requires concurrent I/O errors during a RAID1 reshape operation initiated through sysfs. While the race window exists, triggering it reliably in a production environment would be challenging without control over disk I/O error injection.
