Subject: [PATCH] fbmem: prevent potential use-after-free issues with console_lock()
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2022 22:35:28 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221230063528.41037-1-zh.nvgt@gmail.com> (raw)
In do_fb_ioctl(), user specified "fb_info" can be freed in the callee
fbcon_get_con2fb_map_ioctl() -> set_con2fb_map() ->
con2fb_release_oldinfo(), this free operation is protected by
console_lock() in fbcon_set_con2fb_map_ioctl(), it also results in
the change of certain states such as "minfo->dead" in matroxfb_remove(),
so that it can be checked to avoid use-after-free before the use sites
(e.g., the check at the beginning of matroxfb_ioctl()). However,
the problem is that the use site is not protected by the same locks
as for the free operation, e.g., "default" case in do_fb_ioctl()
can lead to "matroxfb_ioctl()" but it's not protected by console_lock(),
which can invalidate the aforementioned state set and check in a
concurrent setting.
Prevent the potential use-after-free issues by protecting the "default"
case in do_fb_ioctl() with console_lock(), similarly as for many other
cases like "case FBIOBLANK" and "case FBIOPAN_DISPLAY".
