CVE-2024-56631
Disclosure Date: December 27, 2024 (last updated February 02, 2025)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: sg: Fix slab-use-after-free read in sg_release()
Fix a use-after-free bug in sg_release(), detected by syzbot with KASAN:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in lock_release+0x151/0xa30
kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5838
__mutex_unlock_slowpath+0xe2/0x750 kernel/locking/mutex.c:912
sg_release+0x1f4/0x2e0 drivers/scsi/sg.c:407
In sg_release(), the function kref_put(&sfp->f_ref, sg_remove_sfp) is
called before releasing the open_rel_lock mutex. The kref_put() call may
decrement the reference count of sfp to zero, triggering its cleanup
through sg_remove_sfp(). This cleanup includes scheduling deferred work
via sg_remove_sfp_usercontext(), which ultimately frees sfp.
After kref_put(), sg_release() continues to unlock open_rel_lock and may
reference sfp or sdp. If sfp has already been freed, this results in a
slab-use-after-free error.
Move the kref_put(&sfp->f_ref, sg_remove_sfp) call after unlocking the
open_rel_lock…
