CVE-2022-49063
Status: AnalyzedHigh (7.8)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: arfs: fix use-after-free when freeing @rx_cpu_rmap
The CI testing bots triggered the following splat:
This is due to that free_irq_cpu_rmap() is always being called *after* (devm_)free_irq() and thus it tries to work with IRQ descs already freed. For example, on device reset the driver frees the rmap right before allocating a new one (the splat above). Make rmap creation and freeing function symmetrical with {request,free}_irq() calls i.e. do that on ifup/ifdown instead of device probe/remove/resume.

These operations can be performed independently from the actual device aRFS configuration. Also, make sure ice_vsi_free_irq() clears IRQ affinity notifiers only when aRFS is disabled -- otherwise, CPU rmap sets and clears its own and they must not be touched manually.

Por ejemplo, al reiniciar el dispositivo, el controlador libera el rmap justo antes de asignar uno nuevo (el símbolo de arriba). Haga que la creación y liberación de rmap sean simétricas con las llamadas {request,free}_irq(), es decir, hágalo en ifup/ifdown en lugar de en la prueba/eliminación/reanudación del dispositivo. Estas operaciones se pueden realizar independientemente de la configuración aRFS del dispositivo real. Además, asegúrese de que ice_vsi_free_irq() borre los notificadores de afinidad IRQ solo cuando aRFS esté deshabilitado; de lo contrario, el rmap de la CPU establece y borra los suyos propios y no se deben tocar manualmente."
