Commit c7423dbdbc9e ("ima: Handle -ESTALE returned by
ima_filter_rule_match()") introduced call to ima_lsm_copy_rule within a
RCU read-side critical section which contains kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL.
This implies a possible sleep and violates limitations of RCU read-side
critical sections on non-PREEMPT systems.
Sleeping within RCU read-side critical section might cause
synchronize_rcu() returning early and break RCU protection, allowing a
UAF to happen.
The root cause of this issue could be described as follows:
| Thread A | Thread B |
| |ima_match_policy |
| | rcu_read_lock |
|ima_lsm_update_rule | |
| synchronize_rcu | |
| | kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)|
| | sleep |
==> synchronize_rcu returns early
| kfree(entry) | |
| | entry = entry->next|
==> UAF happens and entry now becomes NULL (or could be anything).
| | entry->action |
==> Accessing entry might cause panic.
To fix this issue, we are converting all kmalloc that is called within
RCU read-side critical section to use GFP_ATOMIC.

Esto implica una posible suspensión y viola las limitaciones de las secciones críticas del lado de lectura de RCU en sistemas que no son PREEMPT. Dormir dentro de la sección crítica del lado de lectura de la RCU puede provocar que sincronizar_rcu() regrese antes de tiempo y rompa la protección de la RCU, lo que permite que se produzca una UAF. La causa raíz de este problema podría describirse de la siguiente manera: | Hilo A | Hilo B | | |ima_match_policy | | | rcu_read_lock | |ima_lsm_update_rule | | | sincronizar_rcu | | | | kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)| | | dormir | ==> sincronizar_rcu regresa temprano | kfree(entrada) | | | | entrada = entrada->siguiente| ==> Sucede UAF y la entrada ahora se vuelve NULL (o podría ser cualquier cosa). | | entrada->acción | ==> Acceder a la entrada puede causar pánico. Para solucionar este problema, estamos convirtiendo todos los kmalloc que se llaman dentro de la sección crítica del lado de lectura de RCU para usar GFP_ATOMIC.
