Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen: fix UAF in dmabuf_exp_from_pages()
Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2025 06:09:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250712050916.GY1880847@ZenIV> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250712050231.GX1880847@ZenIV>
[dma_buf_fd() fixes; no preferences regarding the tree it goes through -
up to xen folks]
As soon as we'd inserted a file reference into descriptor table, another
thread could close it. That's fine for the case when all we are doing is
returning that descriptor to userland (it's a race, but it's a userland
race and there's nothing the kernel can do about it). However, if we
follow fd_install() with any kind of access to objects that would be
destroyed on close (be it the struct file itself or anything destroyed
by its ->release()), we have a UAF.
dma_buf_fd() is a combination of reserving a descriptor and fd_install().
gntdev dmabuf_exp_from_pages() calls it and then proceeds to access the
objects destroyed on close - starting with gntdev_dmabuf itself.
Fix that by doing reserving descriptor before anything else and do
fd_install() only when everything had been set up.
Fixes: a240d6e42e28 ("xen/gntdev: Implement dma-buf export functionality")
