[PATCH] locking/lockdep: Avoid potential access of invalid memory in lock_class
Posted by Waiman Long 4 years, 5 months ago 
It was found that reading /proc/lockdep after a lockdep splat may
potentially cause an access to freed memory if lockdep_unregister_key()
is called after the splat but before access to /proc/lockdep [1]. This
is due to the fact that graph_lock() call in lockdep_unregister_key()
fails after the clearing of debug_locks by the splat process.

After lockdep_unregister_key() is called, the lock_name may be freed
but the corresponding lock_class structure still have a reference to
it. That invalid memory pointer will then be accessed when /proc/lockdep
is read by a user and a use-after-free (UAF) error will be reported if
KASAN is enabled.

To fix this problem, lockdep_unregister_key() is now modified to always
search for a matching key irrespective of the debug_locks state and
zap the corresponding lock class if a matching one is found.

lockdep_unregister_key() should only be called for a registered key so I'd
like to keep the WARN_ON_ONCE(!found) here instead of changing it into
WARN_ON_ONCE(!found && debug_locks). Otherwise this patch looks good to me.

Thanks,

Bart.

The reason for this change is to handle the case that a 
lockdep_register_key()/lockdep_unregister_key() pair may be called after 
debug_locks is turned off. Without that change, we are going to get the 
warning in lockdep_unregister_key(). That is the motivation of your 
original commit 8b39adbee805 ("locking/lockdep: Make 
lockdep_unregister_key() honor 'debug_locks' again").

Cheers,
Longman

Ah, that's right. Hence:

locking/lockdep: Avoid potential access of invalid memory in lock_class

It was found that reading /proc/lockdep after a lockdep splat may
potentially cause an access to freed memory if lockdep_unregister_key()
is called after the splat but before access to /proc/lockdep [1]. This
is due to the fact that graph_lock() call in lockdep_unregister_key()
fails after the clearing of debug_locks by the splat process.

After lockdep_unregister_key() is called, the lock_name may be freed
but the corresponding lock_class structure still have a reference to
it. That invalid memory pointer will then be accessed when /proc/lockdep
is read by a user and a use-after-free (UAF) error will be reported if
KASAN is enabled.

To fix this problem, lockdep_unregister_key() is now modified to always
search for a matching key irrespective of the debug_locks state and
zap the corresponding lock class if a matching one is found.
