Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse-uring: fix race between registration and connection abortion
This fixes this race:
- thread a: io_uring_enter -> register sqe ->
fuse_uring_create_ring_ent -> allocate ent but doesn't grab queue_ref
yet
- thread b: fuse_conn_destroy() -> fuse_chan_abort() ->
fuse_uring_abort() is a no-op due to queue ref being 0
- thread a: grabs the queue_ref, queue_ref is now 1, rest of
fuse_uring_do_register() logic executes
- thread b: fuse_chan_abort() returns, fuse_chan_wait_aborted() now runs
and calls
"wait_event(ring->stop_waitq, atomic_read(&ring->queue_refs) == 0);"
The abort/unmount thread will hang indefinitely in unkillable state as
nothing will decrement queue_refs or wake stop_waitq, and the ring,
queue, and ent are leaked.
Fix this by checking fch->connected under fch->lock after the created
ent has grabbed a ref count on the queue. This ensures that in the
scenario above, it is guaranteed that we either release the queue ref
and wake up stop_waitq (in case fuse_chan_wait_aborted() is already
waiting) in fuse_uring_do_register() when we detect !fch->connected, or
if the connection is aborted after the check, it is guaranteed that the
async teardown worker will be running in the background cleaning up ents
and decrementing the ent's ref on the queue, which will unblock the
eventual queue and ring teardown.
