Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix race in perf_mmap_close function

There's a possible race in perf_mmap_close when checking ring buffer's
mmap_count refcount value. The problem is that the mmap_count check is
not atomic because we call atomic_dec and atomic_read separately.

perf_mmap_close:
...
atomic_dec(&rb->mmap_count);
...
if (atomic_read(&rb->mmap_count))
goto out_put;

<ring buffer detach>
free_uid

out_put:
ring_buffer_put(rb); /* could be last */

The race can happen when we have two (or more) events sharing same ring
buffer and they go through atomic_dec and then they both see 0 as refcount
value later in atomic_read. Then both will go on and execute code which
is meant to be run just once.

The code that detaches ring buffer is probably fine to be executed more
than once, but the problem is in calling free_uid, which will later on
demonstrate in related crashes and refcount warnings, like:

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
...
RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x6d/0xf
...
Call Trace:
prepare_creds+0x190/0x1e0
copy_creds+0x35/0x172
copy_process+0x471/0x1a80
_do_fork+0x83/0x3a0
__do_sys_wait4+0x83/0x90
__do_sys_clone+0x85/0xa0
do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x1e0
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Using atomic decrease and check instead of separated calls.
This fixes CVE-2020-14351.

But when it takes the goto, rb->mmap_count won't decrement anymore..

event->mmap_count is per event, so if we have have race in here,
2 threads can go through with each event->mmap_count reaching zero

Maybe I'm missing something.

But as far as I can see, perf_mmap_close() always decremented both
rb->mmap_count and event->mmap_count. But with this change,
it seems not decrement rb->mmap_count when event->mmap_count
doesn't go to zero, right?

Thanks

Subject: [PATCHv2] perf: Fix race in perf_mmap_close function

There's a possible race in perf_mmap_close when checking ring buffer's
mmap_count refcount value. The problem is that the mmap_count check is
not atomic because we call atomic_dec and atomic_read separately.

perf_mmap_close:
...
atomic_dec(&rb->mmap_count);
...
if (atomic_read(&rb->mmap_count))
goto out_put;

<ring buffer detach>
free_uid

out_put:
ring_buffer_put(rb); /* could be last */

The race can happen when we have two (or more) events sharing same ring
buffer and they go through atomic_dec and then they both see 0 as refcount
value later in atomic_read. Then both will go on and execute code which
is meant to be run just once.

The code that detaches ring buffer is probably fine to be executed more
than once, but the problem is in calling free_uid, which will later on
demonstrate in related crashes and refcount warnings, like:

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
...
RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x6d/0xf
...
Call Trace:
prepare_creds+0x190/0x1e0
copy_creds+0x35/0x172
copy_process+0x471/0x1a80
_do_fork+0x83/0x3a0
__do_sys_wait4+0x83/0x90
__do_sys_clone+0x85/0xa0
do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x1e0
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Using atomic decrease and check instead of separated calls.
This fixes CVE-2020-14351.

I'm tempted to remove that line; I can never seem to find anything
useful in a CVE.

Fixes: ?

The trival case should be protected by mmap_sem, we call vm_ops->close()
with mmap_sem held for writing IIRC. But yes, I think it's possible to
construct a failure here.

I was asked by security guys to add this, Wade?

perf/core: Fix race in the perf_mmap_close() function

There's a possible race in perf_mmap_close() when checking ring buffer's
mmap_count refcount value. The problem is that the mmap_count check is
not atomic because we call atomic_dec() and atomic_read() separately.

perf_mmap_close:
...
atomic_dec(&rb->mmap_count);
...
if (atomic_read(&rb->mmap_count))
goto out_put;

<ring buffer detach>
free_uid

out_put:
ring_buffer_put(rb); /* could be last */

The race can happen when we have two (or more) events sharing same ring
buffer and they go through atomic_dec() and then they both see 0 as refcount
value later in atomic_read(). Then both will go on and execute code which
is meant to be run just once.

The code that detaches ring buffer is probably fine to be executed more
than once, but the problem is in calling free_uid(), which will later on
demonstrate in related crashes and refcount warnings, like:

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
...
RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x6d/0xf
...
Call Trace:
prepare_creds+0x190/0x1e0
copy_creds+0x35/0x172
copy_process+0x471/0x1a80
_do_fork+0x83/0x3a0
__do_sys_wait4+0x83/0x90
__do_sys_clone+0x85/0xa0
do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x1e0
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Using atomic decrease and check instead of separated calls.
