Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm btree remove: assign new_root only when removal succeeds remove_raw() in dm_btree_remove() may fail due to IO read error
(e.g. read the content of origin block fails during shadowing),
and the value of shadow_spine::root is uninitialized, but
the uninitialized value is still assign to new_root in the
end of dm_btree_remove(). For dm-thin, the value of pmd->details_root or pmd->root will become
an uninitialized value, so if trying to read details_info tree again
out-of-bound memory may occur as showed below: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x3fdcb14c8d7520 CPU: 4 PID: 515 Comm: dmsetup Not tainted 5.13.0-rc6 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC RIP: 0010:metadata_ll_load_ie+0x14/0x30 Call Trace: sm_metadata_count_is_more_than_one+0xb9/0xe0 dm_tm_shadow_block+0x52/0x1c0 shadow_step+0x59/0xf0 remove_raw+0xb2/0x170 dm_btree_remove+0xf4/0x1c0 dm_pool_delete_thin_device+0xc3/0x140 pool_message+0x218/0x2b0 target_message+0x251/0x290 ctl_ioctl+0x1c4/0x4d0 dm_ctl_ioctl+0xe/0x20 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x7b/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x40/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Fixing it by only assign new_root when removal succeeds

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: dm btree remove: asigna new_root solo cuando la eliminación se realiza correctamente. remove_raw() en dm_btree_remove() puede fallar debido a un error de lectura de E/S (por ejemplo, la lectura del contenido del bloque de origen falla durante el sombreado), y el valor de shadow_spine::root no está inicializado, pero el valor no inicializado aún se asigna a new_root al final de dm_btree_remove(). Para dm-thin, el valor de pmd->details_root o pmd->root se convertirá en un valor no inicializado, por lo que si intenta leer el árbol de detalles_info nuevamente, puede ocurrir que la memoria esté fuera de los límites, como se muestra a continuación: falla de protección general, probablemente para no usuarios. -dirección canónica 0x3fdcb14c8d7520 CPU: 4 PID: 515 Comm: dmsetup No contaminado 5.13.0-rc6 Nombre de hardware: QEMU PC estándar RIP: 0010:metadata_ll_load_ie+0x14/0x30 Seguimiento de llamadas: sm_metadata_count_is_more_than_one+0xb9/0xe0 m_shadow_block+0x52/0x1c0 sombra_paso+ 0x59/0xf0 remove_raw+0xb2/0x170 dm_btree_remove+0xf4/0x1c0 dm_pool_delete_thin_device+0xc3/0x140 pool_message+0x218/0x2b0 target_message+0x251/0x290 ctl_ioctl+0x1c4/0x4d0 _ctl_ioctl+0xe/0x20 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x7b/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x40/0xb0 entrada_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+ 0x44/0xae Se soluciona asignando new_root únicamente cuando la eliminación se realiza correctamente
