From 4ef0c5c6b5ba1f38f0ea1cedad0cad722f00c14a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Qiao Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2021 14:40:30 +0800 Subject: kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an invalid sched_task_group There is a small race between copy_process() and sched_fork() where child->sched_task_group point to an already freed pointer. parent doing fork() | someone moving the parent | to another cgroup -------------------------------+------------------------------- copy_process() + dup_task_struct()<1> parent move to another cgroup, and free the old cgroup. <2> + sched_fork() + __set_task_cpu()<3> + task_fork_fair() + sched_slice()<4> In the worst case, this bug can lead to "use-after-free" and cause panic as shown above: (1) parent copy its sched_task_group to child at <1>; (2) someone move the parent to another cgroup and free the old cgroup at <2>; (3) the sched_task_group and cfs_rq that belong to the old cgroup will be accessed at <3> and <4>, which cause a panic: [] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 [] PGD 8000001fa0a86067 P4D 8000001fa0a86067 PUD 2029955067 PMD 0 [] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI [] CPU: 7 PID: 648398 Comm: ebizzy Kdump: loaded Tainted: G OE --------- - - 4.18.0.x86_64+ #1 [] RIP: 0010:sched_slice+0x84/0xc0 [] Call Trace: [] task_fork_fair+0x81/0x120 [] sched_fork+0x132/0x240 [] copy_process.part.5+0x675/0x20e0 [] ? __handle_mm_fault+0x63f/0x690 [] _do_fork+0xcd/0x3b0 [] do_syscall_64+0x5d/0x1d0 [] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x65/0xca [] RIP: 0033:0x7f04418cd7e1 Between cgroup_can_fork() and cgroup_post_fork(), the cgroup membership and thus sched_task_group can't change. So update child's sched_task_group at sched_post_fork() and move task_fork() and __set_task_cpu() (where accees the sched_task_group) from sched_fork() to sched_post_fork().
