UNSCOREDDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mrp: introduce active flags to prevent UAF when applicant uninit The caller of del_timer_sync must prevent restarting of the timer, If we have no this synchronization, there is a small probability that the cancellation will not be successful. And syzbot report the fellowing crash: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in hlist_add_head include/linux/list.h:929 [inline] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in enqueue_timer+0x18/0xa4 kernel/time/timer.c:605 Write at addr f9ff000024df6058 by task syz-fuzzer/2256 Pointer tag: [f9], memory tag: [fe] CPU: 1 PID: 2256 Comm: syz-fuzzer Not tainted 6.1.0-rc5-syzkaller-00008- ge01d50cbd6ee #0 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace.part.0+0xe0/0xf0 arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c:156 dump_backtrace arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c:162 [inline] show_stack+0x18/0x40 arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c:163 __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:88 [inline] dump_stack_lvl+0x68/0x84 lib/dump_stack.c:106 print_address_description mm/kasan/report.c:284 [inline] print_report+0x1a8/0x4a0 mm/kasan/report.c:395 kasan_report+0x94/0xb4 mm/kasan/report.c:495 __do_kernel_fault+0x164/0x1e0 arch/arm64/mm/fault.c:320 do_bad_area arch/arm64/mm/fault.c:473 [inline] do_tag_check_fault+0x78/0x8c arch/arm64/mm/fault.c:749 do_mem_abort+0x44/0x94 arch/arm64/mm/fault.c:825 el1_abort+0x40/0x60 arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:367 el1h_64_sync_handler+0xd8/0xe4 arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:427 el1h_64_sync+0x64/0x68 arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:576 hlist_add_head include/linux/list.h:929 [inline] enqueue_timer+0x18/0xa4 kernel/time/timer.c:605 mod_timer+0x14/0x20 kernel/time/timer.c:1161 mrp_periodic_timer_arm net/802/mrp.c:614 [inline] mrp_periodic_timer+0xa0/0xc0 net/802/mrp.c:627 call_timer_fn.constprop.0+0x24/0x80 kernel/time/timer.c:1474 expire_timers+0x98/0xc4 kernel/time/timer.c:1519 To fix it, we can introduce a new active flags to make sure the timer will not restart.
