From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2020 13:15:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Smack: fix use-after-free in smk_write_relabel_self()
smk_write_relabel_self() frees memory from the task's credentials with no locking, which can easily cause a use-after-free because multiple tasks can share the same credentials structure.
Fix this by using prepare_creds() and commit_creds() to correctly modify the task's credentials.
Reproducer for "BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in smk_write_relabel_self":
#include <fcntl.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <unistd.h>
static void *thrproc(void *arg) { int fd = open("/sys/fs/smackfs/relabel-self", O_WRONLY); for (;;) write(fd, "foo", 3); }
int main() { pthread_t t; pthread_create(&t, NULL, thrproc, NULL); thrproc(NULL); }
