Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: fix possible UAF when remounting r/o a mmp-protected file system

After commit 618f003199c6 ("ext4: fix memory leak in
ext4_fill_super"), after the file system is remounted read-only, there
is a race where the kmmpd thread can exit, causing sbi->s_mmp_tsk to
point at freed memory, which the call to ext4_stop_mmpd() can trip
over.

Fix this by only allowing kmmpd() to exit when it is stopped via
ext4_stop_mmpd().

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ext4: corrige posible UAF al remontar el sistema de archivos protegido por r/oa mmp. Después del commit 618f003199c6 ("ext4: corrige la pérdida de memoria en ext4_fill_super"), después de que se vuelve a montar el sistema de archivos solo que hay una ejecución donde el hilo kmmpd puede salir, causando que sbi->s_mmp_tsk apunte a la memoria liberada, con la que la llamada a ext4_stop_mmpd() puede tropezar. Solucione este problema permitiendo que kmmpd() salga solo cuando se detiene a través de ext4_stop_mmpd(). Enlace de informe de error: <20210629143603.2166962-1-yebin10@huawei.com>
