| Subject: CVE-2022-49441: tty: fix deadlock caused by calling printk() under tty_port->lock |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: |
| |
| tty: fix deadlock caused by calling printk() under tty_port->lock |
| |
| pty_write() invokes kmalloc() which may invoke a normal printk() to print |
| failure message. This can cause a deadlock in the scenario reported by |
| syz-bot below: |
| |
| CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 |
| ---- ---- ---- |
| lock(console_owner); |
| lock(&port_lock_key); |
| lock(&port->lock); |
| lock(&port_lock_key); |
| lock(&port->lock); |
| lock(console_owner); |
| |
| As commit dbdda842fe96 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to |
| load balance console writes") said, such deadlock can be prevented by |
| using printk_deferred() in kmalloc() (which is invoked in the section |
| guarded by the port->lock). But there are too many printk() on the |
| kmalloc() path, and kmalloc() can be called from anywhere, so changing |
| printk() to printk_deferred() is too complicated and inelegant. |
| |
| Therefore, this patch chooses to specify __GFP_NOWARN to kmalloc(), so |
| that printk() will not be called, and this deadlock problem can be |
| avoided. |
| |
| Syzbot reported the following lockdep error: |

| ========== |
| |
| 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: |
