Descriptions

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

sh: push-switch: Reorder cleanup operations to avoid use-after-free bug

The original code puts flush_work() before timer_shutdown_sync()
in switch_drv_remove(). Although we use flush_work() to stop
the worker, it could be rescheduled in switch_timer(). As a result,
a use-after-free bug can occur. The details are shown below:

(cpu 0) | (cpu 1)
switch_drv_remove() |
flush_work() |
... | switch_timer // timer
| schedule_work(&psw->work)
timer_shutdown_sync() |
... | switch_work_handler // worker
kfree(psw) // free |
| psw->state = 0 // use

This patch puts timer_shutdown_sync() before flush_work() to
mitigate the bugs. As a result, the worker and timer will be
stopped safely before the deallocate operations.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: sh: push-switch: reordenar las operaciones de limpieza para evitar el error de use after free. El código original coloca Flush_work() antes de timer_shutdown_sync() en switch_drv_remove(). Aunque usamos Flush_work() para detener al trabajador, podría reprogramarse en switch_timer(). Como resultado, puede ocurrir un error de use after free. Los detalles se muestran a continuación: (cpu 0) | (procesador 1) switch_drv_remove() | descarga_trabajo() | ... | switch_timer // temporizador | Schedule_work(&psw->trabajo) timer_shutdown_sync() | ... | switch_work_handler // trabajador kfree(psw) // gratis | | psw->state = 0 // uso Este parche coloca timer_shutdown_sync() antes de Flush_work() para mitigar los errores. Como resultado, el trabajador y el temporizador se detendrán de forma segura antes de las operaciones de desasignación.
