Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

proc: fix UAF in procgetinode()

Fix race between rmmod and /proc/XXX's inode instantiation.

The bug is that pde->procops don't belong to /proc, it belongs to a module, therefore dereferencing it after /proc entry has been registered is a bug unless usepde/unuse_pde() pair has been used.

usepde/unusepde can be avoided (2 atomic ops!) because pde->procops never changes so information necessary for inode instantiation can be saved _before procregister() in PDE itself and used later, avoiding pde->procops->... dereference.

  rmmod                         lookup

sysdeletemodule proclookupde pdeget(de); procgetinode(dir->isb, de); mod->exit() procremove removeprocsubtree procentryrundown(de); freemodule(mod);

                           if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode))
                         if (de->proc_ops->proc_read_iter)
                       --> As module is already freed, will trigger UAF
