In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix a UAF issue in bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim
The root cause of this bug is that when 'bpf_link_put' reduces the
refcount of 'shim_link->link.link' to zero, the resource is considered
released but may still be referenced via 'tr->progs_hlist' in
'cgroup_shim_find'. The actual cleanup of 'tr->progs_hlist' in
'bpf_shim_tramp_link_release' is deferred. During this window, another
process can cause a use-after-free via 'bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim'.
Based on Martin KaFai Lau's suggestions, I have created a simple patch.
To fix this:
Add an atomic non-zero check in 'bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim'.
Only increment the refcount if it is not already zero.
Testing:
I verified the fix by adding a delay in
'bpf_shim_tramp_link_release' to make the bug easier to trigger:
static void bpf_shim_tramp_link_release(struct bpf_link link)
{
/ ... */
if (!shim_link->trampoline)
return;
+msleep(100);
WARN_ON_ONCE(bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog(&shim_link->link,
shim_link->trampoline, NULL));
bpf_trampoline_put(shim_link->trampoline);
}
Before the patch, running a PoC easily reproduced the crash(almost 100%)
with a call trace similar to KaiyanM's report.
After the patch, the bug no longer occurs even after millions of
iterations.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) component. This use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a condition in the bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim function where a resource is freed but still referenced. This can lead to a system crash, resulting in a denial of service, or potentially enable privilege escalation.
Отчет
This flaw affects systems using BPF with cgroup trampolines. The race condition occurs between bpf_link_put() releasing a shim link and another process looking it up via cgroup_shim_find(). The deferred cleanup of tr->progs_hlist creates a window for use-after-free. Exploitation requires BPF privileges and concurrent operations on cgroup BPF programs. Actual only for ARM platform.
