Subject: [16/34] inotify: race use after free/double free in inotify inode marks
Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 15:59:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100524230350.777657315@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100524230418.GA12770@kroah.com>
2.6.34-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
commit e08733446e72b983fed850fc5d8bd21b386feb29 upstream.
There is a race in the inotify add/rm watch code. A task can find and
remove a mark which doesn't have all of it's references. This can
result in a use after free/double free situation.
Task A Task B
------------ -----------
inotify_new_watch()
allocate a mark (refcnt == 1)
add it to the idr
inotify_rm_watch()
inotify_remove_from_idr()
fsnotify_put_mark()
refcnt hits 0, free
take reference because we are on idr
[at this point it is a use after free]
[time goes on]
refcnt may hit 0 again, double free
The fix is to take the reference BEFORE the object can be found in the
idr.
