- Summary
- mm/slub: add check for s->flags in the alloc_tagging_slab_free_hook
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slub: add check for s->flags in the alloctaggingslabfreehook
When enable CONFIGMEMCG & CONFIGKFENCE & CONFIGKMEMLEAK, the following warning always occurs,This is because the following call stack occurred: mempoolalloc kmemcacheallocnoprof slaballocnode kfence_alloc
Once the kfence allocation is successful,slab->objexts will not be empty, because it has already been assigned a value in kfenceinit_pool.
Since in the prepareslabobjextshook function,we perform a check for s->flags & (SLABNOOBJEXT | SLABNOLEAKTRACE),the alloctagadd function will not be called as a result.Therefore,ref->ct remains NULL.
However,when we call mempoolfree,since objext is not empty, it eventually leads to the alloctag_sub scenario being invoked. This is where the warning occurs.
So we should add corresponding checks in the alloctaggingslabfreehook. For _GFPNOOBJEXT case,I didn't see the specific case where it's using kfence,so I won't add the corresponding check in alloctaggingslabfreehook for now.
