mm, uprobes: fix multiple free of ->uprobes_state.xol_area
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
7c05126 ("mm, fork: make dup_mmap wait for mmap_sem for write
killable") made it possible to kill a forking task while it is waiting to
acquire its ->mmap_sem for write, in dup_mmap().

However, it was overlooked that this introduced an new error path before
the new mm_struct's ->uprobes_state.xol_area has been set to NULL after
being copied from the old mm_struct by the memcpy in dup_mm().  For a task
that has previously hit a uprobe tracepoint, this resulted in the 'struct
xol_area' being freed multiple times if the task was killed at just the
right time while forking.

Fix it by setting ->uprobes_state.xol_area to NULL in mm_init() rather
than in uprobe_dup_mmap().

With CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y, the bug can be reproduced by the same C
program given by commit 2b7e866 ("fork: fix incorrect fput of
->exe_file causing use-after-free"), provided that a uprobe tracepoint has
been set on the fork_thread() function.  For example:

    $ gcc reproducer.c -o reproducer -lpthread
    $ nm reproducer | grep fork_thread
    0000000000400719 t fork_thread
    $ echo "p $PWD/reproducer:0x719" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
    $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable
    $ ./reproducer

Here is the use-after-free reported by KASAN:
