This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

vt: vt_ioctl: fix use-after-free in vt_in_use()

to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2020 20:43:05 -0700 Subject: vt: vt_ioctl: fix use-after-free in vt_in_use()

vt_in_use() dereferences console_driver->ttys[i] without proper locking. This is broken because the tty can be closed and freed concurrently.

We could fix this by using 'READ_ONCE(console_driver->ttys[i]) != NULL' and skipping the check of tty_struct::count. But, looking at console_driver->ttys[i] isn't really appropriate anyway because even if it is NULL the tty can still be in the process of being closed.

Instead, fix it by making vt_in_use() require console_lock() and check whether the vt is allocated and has port refcount > 1. This works since following the patch "vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use virtual console" the port refcount is incremented while the vt is open.

Reproducer (very unreliable, but it worked for me after a few minutes):

#include <fcntl.h> #include <linux/vt.h>

int main() { int fd, nproc; struct vt_stat state; char ttyname[16];

fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDONLY); for (nproc = 1; nproc < 8; nproc *= 2) fork(); for (;;) { sprintf(ttyname, "/dev/tty%d", rand() % 8); close(open(ttyname, O_RDONLY)); ioctl(fd, VT_GETSTATE, &state); } }
