From b7f54894aa7517d2b6c797a499b9f491e9db9083 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 16:01:19 +0100 Subject: iio: buffer: Fix file related error handling in IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL commit c72ea20503610a4a7ba26c769357d31602769c01 upstream. If we fail to copy the just created file descriptor to userland, we try to clean up by putting back 'fd' and freeing 'ib'. The code uses put_unused_fd() for the former which is wrong, as the file descriptor was already published by fd_install() which gets called internally by anon_inode_getfd(). This makes the error handling code leaving a half cleaned up file descriptor table around and a partially destructed 'file' object, allowing userland to play use-after-free tricks on us, by abusing the still usable fd and making the code operate on a dangling 'file->private_data' pointer. Instead of leaving the kernel in a partially corrupted state, don't attempt to explicitly clean up and leave this to the process exit path that'll release any still valid fds, including the one created by the previous call to anon_inode_getfd(). Simply return -EFAULT to indicate the error.
