Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/core: Fix use-after-free bug in dup_user_cpus_ptr()
Since commit 07ec77a1d4e8 (“sched: Allow task CPU affinity to be
restricted on asymmetric systems”), the setting and clearing of
user_cpus_ptr are done under pi_lock for arm64 architecture. However,
dup_user_cpus_ptr() accesses user_cpus_ptr without any lock
protection. Since sched_setaffinity() can be invoked from another
process, the process being modified may be undergoing fork() at
the same time. When racing with the clearing of user_cpus_ptr in
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked(), it can lead to user-after-free and
possibly double-free in arm64 kernel.
Commit 8f9ea86fdf99 (“sched: Always preserve the user requested
cpumask”) fixes this problem as user_cpus_ptr, once set, will never
be cleared in a task’s lifetime. However, this bug was re-introduced
in commit 851a723e45d1 (“sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed()”) which allows the clearing of user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed(). This time, it will affect all arches.
Fix this bug by always clearing the user_cpus_ptr of the newly
cloned/forked task before the copying process starts and check the
user_cpus_ptr state of the source task under pi_lock.
Note to stable, this patch won’t be applicable to stable releases.
Just copy the new dup_user_cpus_ptr() function over.
