| Sažetak |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio-fs: avoid double-free on failed queue setup
virtio_fs_setup_vqs() allocates fs->vqs and fs->mq_map before calling
virtio_find_vqs(). If virtio_find_vqs() fails, the error path frees both
pointers and returns an error to virtio_fs_probe().
virtio_fs_probe() then drops the last kobject reference, and
virtio_fs_ktype_release() frees fs->vqs and fs->mq_map again. This leaves
dangling pointers in struct virtio_fs and can trigger a double-free during
probe failure cleanup.
Set fs->vqs and fs->mq_map to NULL immediately after kfree() in the
virtio_fs_setup_vqs() error path so that the later kobject release sees an
uninitialized state and kfree(NULL) becomes harmless.
This can be reproduced when a broken virtio-fs device advertises more
request queues than the transport actually provides. In that case
virtio_find_vqs() fails while setting up the extra queue, and the probe
path reaches the double-free cleanup sequence. |
