linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
raid1: fix use-after-free for original bio in raid1_write_request()
r1_bio->bios[] is used to record new bios that will be issued to
underlying disks, however, in raid1_write_request(), r1_bio->bios[]
will set to the original bio temporarily. Meanwhile, if blocked rdev
is set, free_r1bio() will be called causing that all r1_bio->bios[]
to be freed:
raid1_write_request()
r1_bio = alloc_r1bio(mddev, bio); -> r1_bio->bios[] is NULL
for (i = 0; i < disks; i++) -> for each rdev in conf
// first rdev is normal
r1_bio->bios[0] = bio; -> set to original bio
// second rdev is blocked
if (test_bit(Blocked, &rdev->flags))
break
if (blocked_rdev)
free_r1bio()
put_all_bios()
bio_put(r1_bio->bios[0]) -> original bio is freed
Test scripts:
mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l1 -n4 /dev/sd[abcd] --assume-clean
fio -filename=/dev/md0 -ioengine=libaio -rw=write -bs=4k -numjobs=1 \
-iodepth=128 -name=test -direct=1
