[PATCH v7 6/8] blktrace: fix debugfs use after free

Luis Chamberlain
2020-06-19T20:47:56Z

On commit 6ac93117ab00 ("blktrace: use existing disk debugfs directory")
merged on v4.12 Omar fixed the original blktrace code for request-based
drivers (multiqueue). This however left in place a possible crash, if you
happen to abuse blktrace while racing to remove / add a device.

We used to use asynchronous removal of the request_queue, and with that
the issue was easier to reproduce. Now that we have reverted to
synchronous removal of the request_queue, the issue is still possible to
reproduce, its however just a bit more difficult.

We essentially run two instances of break-blktrace which add/remove
a loop device, and setup a blktrace and just never tear the blktrace
down. We do this twice in parallel. This is easily reproduced with the
script run_0004.sh from break-blktrace [0].

We can end up with two types of panics each reflecting where we
race, one a failed blktrace setup:

The common theme here is:

debugfs: Directory 'loop0' with parent 'block' already present

This crash happens because of how blktrace uses the debugfs directory
where it places its files. Upon init we always create the same directory
which would be needed by blktrace but we only do this for make_request
drivers (multiqueue) block drivers. When you race a removal of these
devices with a blktrace setup you end up in a situation where the
make_request recursive debugfs removal will sweep away the blktrace
files and then later blktrace will also try to remove individual
dentries which are already NULL. The inverse is also possible and hence
the two types of use after frees.

We don't create the block debugfs directory on init for these types of
block devices:

* request-based block driver block devices
* every possible partition
* scsi-generic

And so, this race should in theory only be possible with make_request
drivers.

We can fix the UAF by simply re-using the debugfs directory for
make_request drivers (multiqueue) and only creating the ephemeral
directory for the other type of block devices. The new clarifications
on relying on the q->blk_trace_mutex *and* also checking for q->blk_trace
*prior* to processing a blktrace ensures the debugfs directories are
only created if no possible directory name clashes are possible.

This goes tested with:

o nvme partitions
o ISCSI with tgt, and blktracing against scsi-generic with:
o block
o tape
o cdrom
o media changer
o blktests

This patch is part of the work which disputes the severity of
CVE-2019-19770 which shows this issue is not a core debugfs issue, but
a misuse of debugfs within blktace.
