CVE-2023-53665

Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

md: don't dereference mddev after export_rdev()

Except for initial reference, mddev->kobject is referenced by rdev->kobject, and if the last rdev is freed, there is no guarantee that mddev is still valid. Hence mddev should not be used anymore after export_rdev().

This problem can be triggered by following test for mdadm at very low rate:

New file: mdadm/tests/23rdev-lifetime

devname=${dev0##*/} devt=`cat /sys/block/$devname/dev` pid="" runtime=2

trap 'clean_up_test' EXIT

echo md0 > /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/new_array || die "create md0 failed"

Leer descripción completaMostrar menos

add_by_sysfs & pid="$pid $!"

remove_by_sysfs & pid="$pid $!"

sleep $runtime exit 0

Test cmd:

./test --save-logs --logdir=/tmp/ --keep-going --dev=loop --tests=23rdev-lifetime

Test result:

Fix this problem by don't dereference mddev after export_rdev().
