Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix double free of anonymous device after snapshot creation failure When creating a snapshot we may do a double free of an anonymous device
in case there's an error committing the transaction. The second free may
result in freeing an anonymous device number that was allocated by some
other subsystem in the kernel or another btrfs filesystem. The steps that lead to this: 1) At ioctl.c:create_snapshot() we allocate an anonymous device number and assign it to pending_snapshot->anon_dev; 2) Then we call btrfs_commit_transaction() and end up at transaction.c:create_pending_snapshot(); 3) There we call btrfs_get_new_fs_root() and pass it the anonymous device number stored in pending_snapshot->anon_dev; 4) btrfs_get_new_fs_root() frees that anonymous device number because btrfs_lookup_fs_root() returned a root - someone else did a lookup of the new root already, which could some task doing backref walking; 5) After that some error happens in the transaction commit path, and at ioctl.c:create_snapshot() we jump to the 'fail' label, and after that we free again the same anonymous device number, which in the meanwhile may have been reallocated somewhere else, because pending_snapshot->anon_dev still has the same value as in step 1. Recently syzbot ran into this and reported the following trace: ------------[ cut here ]------------ ida_free called for id=51 which is not allocated.

En el kernel de Linux se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: btrfs: corrige la doble liberación de un dispositivo anónimo después de un error en la creación de la instantánea. Al crear una instantánea podemos hacer una doble liberación de un dispositivo anónimo en caso de que haya un error al realizar la transacción. La segunda liberación puede resultar en la liberación de un número de dispositivo anónimo asignado por algún otro subSYSTEM en el kernel u otro SYSTEM de archivos btrfs. Los pasos que conducen a esto: 1) En ioctl.c:create_snapshot() asignamos un número de dispositivo anónimo y lo asignamos a pendiente_snapshot-&gt;anon_dev; 2) Luego llamamos a btrfs_commit_transaction() y terminamos en transaction.c:create_pending_snapshot(); 3) Allí llamamos a btrfs_get_new_fs_root() y le pasamos el número de dispositivo anónimo almacenado en pendiente_snapshot-&gt;anon_dev; 4) btrfs_get_new_fs_root() libera ese número de dispositivo anónimo porque btrfs_lookup_fs_root() devolvió una raíz; alguien más ya hizo una búsqueda de la nueva raíz, lo que podría realizar alguna tarea haciendo retroceder la referencia; 5) Después de eso, ocurre algún error en la ruta de confirmación de la transacción, y en ioctl.c:create_snapshot() saltamos a la etiqueta 'fail', y luego liberamos nuevamente el mismo número de dispositivo anónimo, que mientras tanto puede haber sido reasignado en otro lugar, porque pendiente_snapshot-&gt;anon_dev todavía tiene el mismo valor que en el paso 1. Recientemente, syzbot se encontró con esto e informó el siguiente seguimiento: ------------[ cortar aquí ]---- -------- ida_free solicitó id=51 que no está asignado.
