In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: compress: fix UAF of f2fs_inode_info in f2fs_free_dic
The decompress_io_ctx may be released asynchronously after I/O completion. If this file is deleted immediately after read, and the kworker of processing post_read_wq has not been executed yet due to high workloads, It is possible that the inode(f2fs_inode_info) is evicted and freed before it is used f2fs_free_dic.
The UAF case as below: Thread A Thread B - f2fs_decompress_end_io - f2fs_put_dic - queue_work add free_dic work to post_read_wq - do_unlink - iput - evict - call_rcu This file is deleted after read.
Thread C kworker to process post_read_wq - rcu_do_batch - f2fs_free_inode - kmem_cache_free inode is freed by rcu - process_scheduled_works - f2fs_late_free_dic - f2fs_free_dic - f2fs_release_decomp_mem read (dic->inode)->i_compress_algorithm
This patch store compress_algorithm and sbi in dic to avoid inode UAF.
In addition, the previous solution is deprecated in [1] may cause system hang. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]
