Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: atomic: fix UAF issue on f2fs_inode_info.atomic_inode
- ioctl(F2FS_IOC_GARBAGE_COLLECT_RANGE) - shrink
- f2fs_gc
- gc_data_segment
- ra_data_block(cow_inode)
- mapping = F2FS_I(inode)->atomic_inode->i_mapping
: f2fs_is_cow_file(cow_inode) is true
- f2fs_evict_inode(atomic_inode)
- clear_inode_flag(fi->cow_inode, FI_COW_FILE)
- F2FS_I(fi->cow_inode)->atomic_inode = NULL
...
- truncate_inode_pages_final(atomic_inode)
- f2fs_grab_cache_folio(mapping)
: create folio in atomic_inode->mapping
- clear_inode(atomic_inode)
- BUG_ON(atomic_inode->i_data.nrpages)
We need to add a reference on fi->atomic_inode before using its mapping
field during garbage collection, otherwise, it will cause UAF issue.
