Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
zram: fix slot write race condition
Parallel concurrent writes to the same zram index result in leaked
zsmalloc handles. Schematically we can have something like this:
CPU0 CPU1
zram_slot_lock()
zs_free(handle)
zram_slot_lock()
zram_slot_lock()
zs_free(handle)
zram_slot_lock()
compress compress
handle = zs_malloc() handle = zs_malloc()
zram_slot_lock
zram_set_handle(handle)
zram_slot_lock
zram_slot_lock
zram_set_handle(handle)
zram_slot_lock
Either CPU0 or CPU1 zsmalloc handle will leak because zs_free() is done
too early. In fact, we need to reset zram entry right before we set its
new handle, all under the same slot lock scope.
