      <title>CVE-2021-47634 — ubi: Fix race condition between ctrl_cdev_ioctl and ubi_cdev_ioctl</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/cve-2021-47634</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ubi: Fix race condition between ctrl_cdev_ioctl and ubi_cdev_ioctl&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hulk Robot reported a KASAN report about use-after-free:
 ==================================================================
 BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __list_del_entry_valid+0x13d/0x160
 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888035e37d98 by task ubiattach/1385
 [...]
 Call Trace:
  klist_dec_and_del+0xa7/0x4a0
  klist_put+0xc7/0x1a0
  device_del+0x4d4/0xed0
  cdev_device_del+0x1a/0x80
  ubi_attach_mtd_dev+0x2951/0x34b0 [ubi]
  ctrl_cdev_ioctl+0x286/0x2f0 [ubi]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Allocated by task 1414:
  device_add+0x60a/0x18b0
  cdev_device_add+0x103/0x170
  ubi_create_volume+0x1118/0x1a10 [ubi]
  ubi_cdev_ioctl+0xb7f/0x1ba0 [ubi]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Freed by task 1385:
  cdev_device_del+0x1a/0x80
  ubi_remove_volume+0x438/0x6c0 [ubi]
  ubi_cdev_ioctl+0xbf4/0x1ba0 [ubi]
 [...]
 ==================================================================&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lock held by ctrl_cdev_ioctl is ubi_devices_mutex, but the lock held
by ubi_cdev_ioctl is ubi-&amp;gt;device_mutex. Therefore, the two locks can be
concurrent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ctrl_cdev_ioctl contains two operations: ubi_attach and ubi_detach.
ubi_detach is bug-free because it uses reference counting to prevent
concurrency. However, uif_init and uif_close in ubi_attach may race with
ubi_cdev_ioctl.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;uif_init will race with ubi_cdev_ioctl as in the following stack.
           cpu1                   cpu2                  cpu3
