"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Fix UAF due to concurrent consumption of ttrace lists in alloc_bulk\n\nSyzkaller repeatedly triggered UAF splats related to nodes in\nwaiting_for_gp_ttrace within the bpf memalloc:\n\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in llist_del_first+0x85/0x110 lib/llist.c:61\nRead of size 8 at addr ffff8881572cd080 by task syz.4.470/5112\n ...\n llist_del_first+0x85/0x110 lib/llist.c:61\n alloc_bulk+0x193/0x460 kernel/bpf/memalloc.c:229\n bpf_mem_refill+0x386/0x560 kernel/bpf/memalloc.c:436\n\nFreed by task 14:\n ...\n __free_rcu kernel/bpf/memalloc.c:281 [inline]\n __free_rcu_tasks_trace+0x48/0xd0 kernel/bpf/memalloc.c:291\n rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs+0x1ec/0x3e0 kernel/rcu/tasks.h:571\n rcu_tasks_one_gp+0x13d/0x220 kernel/rcu/tasks.h:621\n rcu_tasks_kthread+0xf3/0x120 kernel/rcu/tasks.h:651\n\nThe reason is that the UAF occurs after the RCU Tasks Trace GP expires:\nwhen the __free_rcu() callback runs, there is no synchronization\nprotecting llist_del_all() against concurrent alloc_bulk() operating on\nwaiting_for_gp_ttrace, leading to the race condition below:\n\nCPU0 CPU1\n __free_rcu (RCU Tasks Trace callback)\nalloc_bulk\n llist_del_first(&c->waiting_for_gp_ttrace)\n entry = smp_load_acquire(&head->first);\n do {\n if (entry == NULL)\n return NULL;\n free_all(llist_del_all(&c->waiting_for_gp_ttrace))\n llist_for_each_safe(pos, t, llnode)\n free_one(pos);\n next = READ_ONCE(entry->next); <-- trigger UAF\n } while (!try_cmpxchg(&head->first, &entry, next));\n\nIn addition, there is also a theoretical race condition on the\nfree_by_rcu_ttrace list. This race requires two preconditions: an\nin-flight Tasks Trace GP keeping c->call_rcu_ttrace_in_progress == 1,\nand concurrent cross-CPU frees repopulating c->free_by_rcu_ttrace with\nnew nodes. Under these conditions, the following scenario triggers UAF:\n\n// CPU0\n// irq work is still busy (on PREEMPT_RT)\nalloc_bulk()\n llist_del_first(&c->free_by_rcu_ttrace)\n entry = smp_load_acquire(&head->first);\n do {\n if (entry == NULL)\n return NULL;\n\n // CPU1\n bpf_mem_alloc_destroy()\n WRITE_ONCE(c->draining, true)\n // wait for CPU0\n irq_work_sync()\n\n // CPU2\n do_call_rcu_ttrace(tgt(CPU0))\n if (c->draining) {\n llist_del_all(&c->free_by_rcu_ttrace)\n free_all()\n }\n\n// CPU0 continue\n next = READ_ONCE(entry->next); <-- trigger UAF\n while (!try_cmpxchg(&head->first, &entry, next));\n\nFix this by introducing a raw spinlock to synchronize the concurrent\nconsumption on waiting_for_gp_ttrace and free_by_rcu_ttrace."
