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

vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use virtual console

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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window.

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

From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2020 20:43:04 -0700 Subject: vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use virtual console

The VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl can free a virtual console while tty_release() is still running, causing a use-after-free in con_shutdown(). This occurs because VT_DISALLOCATE considers a virtual console's 'struct vc_data' to be unused as soon as the corresponding tty's refcount hits 0. But actually it may be still being closed.

Fix this by making vc_data be reference-counted via the embedded 'struct tty_port'. A newly allocated virtual console has refcount 1. Opening it for the first time increments the refcount to 2. Closing it for the last time decrements the refcount (in tty_operations::cleanup() so that it happens late enough), as does VT_DISALLOCATE.

Reproducer: #include <fcntl.h> #include <linux/vt.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <unistd.h>

int main() { if (fork()) { for (;;) close(open("/dev/tty5", O_RDWR)); } else { int fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDWR);

for (;;) ioctl(fd, VT_DISALLOCATE, 5); } }
