| Subject: CVE-2021-47118: pid: take a reference when initializing `cad_pid` |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: |
| |
| pid: take a reference when initializing `cad_pid` |
| |
| During boot, kernel_init_freeable() initializes `cad_pid` to the init |
| task's struct pid. Later on, we may change `cad_pid` via a sysctl, and |
| when this happens proc_do_cad_pid() will increment the refcount on the |
| new pid via get_pid(), and will decrement the refcount on the old pid |
| via put_pid(). As we never called get_pid() when we initialized |
| `cad_pid`, we decrement a reference we never incremented, can therefore |
| free the init task's struct pid early. As there can be dangling |
| references to the struct pid, we can later encounter a use-after-free |
| (e.g. when delivering signals). |
| |
| This was spotted when fuzzing v5.13-rc3 with Syzkaller, but seems to |
| have been around since the conversion of `cad_pid` to struct pid in |
| commit 9ec52099e4b8 ("[PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid") from the |
| pre-KASAN stone age of v2.6.19. |
| |
| Fix this by getting a reference to the init task's struct pid when we |
| assign it to `cad_pid`. |
| |
| Full KASAN splat below. |

| ========== |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest |
| stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual |
| changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel |
| release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or |
| supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to |
| the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this |
| issue can be found at these commits: |
