"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nring-buffer: Handle race between rb_move_tail and rb_check_pages\n\nIt seems a data race between ring_buffer writing and integrity check.\nThat is, RB_FLAG of head_page is been updating, while at same time\nRB_FLAG was cleared when doing integrity check rb_check_pages():\n\n rb_check_pages() rb_handle_head_page():\n -------- --------\n rb_head_page_deactivate()\n rb_head_page_set_normal()\n rb_head_page_activate()\n\nWe do intergrity test of the list to check if the list is corrupted and\nit is still worth doing it. So, let's refactor rb_check_pages() such that\nwe no longer clear and set flag during the list sanity checking.\n\n[1] and [2] are the test to reproduce and the crash report respectively.\n\n1:\n``` read_trace.sh\n while true;\n do\n # the \"trace\" file is closed after read\n head -1 /sys/kernel/tracing/trace > /dev/null\n done\n```\n``` repro.sh\n sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_warn=1\n # function tracer will writing enough data into ring_buffer\n echo function > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer\n ./read_trace.sh &\n ./read_trace.sh &\n ./read_trace.sh &\n ./read_trace.sh &\n ./read_trace.sh &\n ./read_trace.sh &\n ./read_trace.sh &\n ./read_trace.sh &\n```\n\n2:\n------------[ cut here ]------------\nWARNING: CPU: 9 PID: 62 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:2653\nrb_move_tail+0x450/0x470\nModules linked in:\nCPU: 9 PID: 62 Comm: ksoftirqd/9 Tainted: G W 6.2.0-rc6+\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS\nrel-1.15.0-0-g2dd4b9b3f840-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014\nRIP: 0010:rb_move_tail+0x450/0x470\nCode: ff ff 4c 89 c8 f0 4d 0f b1 02 48 89 c2 48 83 e2 fc 49 39 d0 75 24\n83 e0 03 83 f8 02 0f 84 e1 fb ff ff 48 8b 57 10 f0 ff 42 08 <0f> 0b 83\nf8 02 0f 84 ce fb ff ff e9 db\nRSP: 0018:ffffb5564089bd00 EFLAGS: 00000203\nRAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff9db385a2bf81 RCX: ffffb5564089bd18\nRDX: ffff9db281110100 RSI: 0000000000000fe4 RDI: ffff9db380145400\nRBP: ffff9db385a2bf80 R08: ffff9db385a2bfc0 R09: ffff9db385a2bfc2\nR10: ffff9db385a6c000 R11: ffff9db385a2bf80 R12: 0000000000000000\nR13: 00000000000003e8 R14: ffff9db281110100 R15: ffffffffbb006108\nFS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff9db3bdcc0000(0000)\nknlGS:0000000000000000\nCS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 00005602323024c8 CR3: 0000000022e0c000 CR4: 00000000000006e0\nCall Trace:\n <TASK>\n ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0x136/0x360\n ? __do_softirq+0x287/0x2df\n ? __pfx_rcu_softirq_qs+0x10/0x10\n trace_function+0x21/0x110\n ? __pfx_rcu_softirq_qs+0x10/0x10\n ? __do_softirq+0x287/0x2df\n function_trace_call+0xf6/0x120\n 0xffffffffc038f097\n ? rcu_softirq_qs+0x5/0x140\n rcu_softirq_qs+0x5/0x140\n __do_softirq+0x287/0x2df\n run_ksoftirqd+0x2a/0x30\n smpboot_thread_fn+0x188/0x220\n ? __pfx_smpboot_thread_fn+0x10/0x10\n kthread+0xe7/0x110\n ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10\n ret_from_fork+0x2c/0x50\n </TASK>\n---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---\n\n[ crash report and test reproducer credit goes to Zheng Yejian]"
