In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Take the reference before publishing the named histogram trigger
event_hist_trigger_named_init() puts the trigger on the global named_triggers list and only then takes the reference on the trigger it shares its histogram with:
data->ref++;
save_named_trigger(data->named_data->name, data);
ret = event_hist_trigger_init(data->named_data); if (ret < 0) { kfree(data->cmd_ops); data->cmd_ops = &trigger_hist_cmd; }
return ret;
event_hist_trigger_init() fails when alloc_hist_pad() cannot allocate, and nothing takes the trigger back off the list on the way out. event_hist_trigger_parse() frees it, and the next lookup by name reads the freed object:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888009346860 by task init/1 find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0 hist_register_trigger+0xc1/0xa00 event_hist_trigger_parse+0x3146/0x6af0 event_trigger_write+0xce/0x160 Freed by task 67: kfree+0x154/0x420 trigger_kthread_fn+0xfd/0x160
Do the reference first and publish once it has succeeded, so that nothing which can fail runs after the trigger becomes findable.
