CVE-2024-56549

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cachefiles: Fix NULL pointer dereference in object->file At present, the object->file has the NULL pointer dereference problem in ondemand-mode. The root cause is that the allocated fd and object->file lifetime are inconsistent, and the user-space invocation to anon_fd uses object->file. Following is the process that triggers the issue: [write fd] [umount] cachefiles_ondemand_fd_write_iter fscache_cookie_state_machine cachefiles_withdraw_cookie if (!file) return -ENOBUFS cachefiles_clean_up_object cachefiles_unmark_inode_in_use fput(object->file) object->file = NULL // file NULL pointer dereference! __cachefiles_write(..., file, ...) Fix this issue by add an additional reference count to the object->file before write/llseek, and decrement after it finished.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: cachefiles: Arreglar la desreferencia de puntero NULL en object->file En la actualidad, object->file tiene el problema de desreferencia de puntero NULL en el modo ondemand. La causa raíz es que el fd asignado y el tiempo de vida de object->file son inconsistentes, y la invocación del espacio de usuario a anon_fd usa object->file. A continuación, se muestra el proceso que desencadena el problema: [write fd] [umount] cachefiles_ondemand_fd_write_iter fscache_cookie_state_machine cachefiles_withdraw_cookie if (!file) return -ENOBUFS cachefiles_clean_up_object cachefiles_unmark_inode_in_use fput(object->file) object->file = NULL // file ¡Desreferencia de puntero NULL! __cachefiles_write(..., file, ...) Solucione este problema agregando un recuento de referencia adicional al objeto->archivo antes de escribir/llseek, y disminuya después de que finalice.
