Subject: [PATCH v2] dma-buf: fix use-after-free in dmabuffs_dname

The following race occurs while accessing the dmabuf object exported as
file:
P1 P2
dma_buf_release() dmabuffs_dname()
[say lsof reading /proc/<P1 pid>/fd/<num>]

read dmabuf stored in dentry->d_fsdata
Free the dmabuf object
Start accessing the dmabuf structure

In the above description, the dmabuf object freed in P1 is being
accessed from P2 which is resulting into the use-after-free. Below is
the dump stack reported.

We are reading the dmabuf object stored in the dentry->d_fsdata but
there is no binding between the dentry and the dmabuf which means that
the dmabuf can be freed while it is being read from ->d_fsdata and
inuse. Reviews on the patch V1 says that protecting the dmabuf inuse
with an extra refcount is not a viable solution as the exported dmabuf
is already under file's refcount and keeping the multiple refcounts on
the same object coordinated is not possible.

As we are reading the dmabuf in ->d_fsdata just to get the user passed
name, we can directly store the name in d_fsdata thus can avoid the
reading of dmabuf altogether.

Are you sure this lock always protects d_fsdata?

If the above check fails the name will be what? How could d_name.name
be valid but d_fsdata not be valid?

You are just changing the use of d_fsdata from being a pointer to the
dmabuf to being a pointer to the name string? What's to keep that name
string around and not have the same reference counting issues that the
dmabuf structure itself has? Who frees that string memory?

I think yes. In the dma-buf.c, I have to make sure that d_fsdata should
always be under d_lock thus it will be protected. (In this posted patch
there is one place(in dma_buf_set_name) that is missed, will update this
in V3).

In case of check fails, empty string "" is appended to the name by the
code, ret > 0 ? name : "", ret is initialized to zero. Thus the name
string will be like "/dmabuf:".

Regarding the validity of d_fsdata, we are setting the dmabuf's
dentry->d_fsdata to NULL in the dma_buf_release() thus can go invalid if
that dmabuf is in the free path.

Yes, I am just storing the name string in the d_fsdata in place of
dmabuf and this helps to get rid of any extra refcount requirement.
Because the user passed name carried in the d_fsdata is copied to the
local buffer in dmabuffs_dname under spin_lock(d_lock) and the same
d_fsdata is set to NULL(under the d_lock only) when that dmabuf is in
the release path. So, when d_fsdata is NULL, name string is not accessed
from the dmabuffs_dname thus extra count is not required.

String memory, stored in the dmabuf->name, is released from the
dma_buf_release(). Flow will be like, It fist sets d_fsdata=NULL and
then free the dmabuf->name.

However from your comments I have realized that there is a race in this
patch when using the name string between dma_buf_set_name() and
dmabuffs_dname(). But, If the idea of passing the name string inplace of
dmabuf in d_fsdata looks fine, I can update this next patch.

So multiple objects can have the same "name" if this happens to multiple
ones at once?

Why are we allowing the name to be set if the dmabuf is on the free path
at all? Shouldn't that be the real fix here?

Yes that it can happen.

I don't think that user setting the name is the problem but accessing
the ->name while dmabuf is on the free path. And given a dmabuf we don't
know If that is already in the free path.

BTW, I also would like to bring your notice that we have seen
sleep-while-atomic bug in the dmabuffs_dname() because of the mutex
used. It is caused from the SELinux permissions checks. I think SELinux
tries to validate the inherited files from fork + exec and in doing so,
it has to traverse the files. So, it relies on iterate_fd() (which
traverse files under spin_lock) and call
match_file(security/selinux/hooks.c) where the permission checks happen
and then dumps the information logs using dump_common_audit_data(). This
function is what actually trying to get the file path name and thus use
d_path(). If the file check happen on the dmabuf's fd, then it ends up
in ->dmabuffs_dname() under spin_lock(). So, flow will be like:
flush_unauthorized_files()
iterate_fd()
spin_lock()
match_file()
file_has_perm()
avc_has_perm()
avc_audit()
slow_avc_audit()
common_lsm_audit()
dump_common_audit_data()
audit_log_d_path()
d_path()
dmabuffs_dname()
mutex_lock()--> Sleep while atomic.

So, we have to remove the use of mutex in the dmabuffs_dname(which is
another bug in the existing code).
