CVE-2022-50673
N/A
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_orphan_cleanup
I caught a issue as follows:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __list_add_valid+0x28/0x1a0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88814b13f378 by task mount/710

Above issue may happen as follows:
ext4_fill_super ext4_orphan_cleanup — loop1: assume last_orphan is 12 — list_add(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_orphan, &EXT4_SB(sb)->s_orphan) ext4_truncate –> return 0 ext4_inode_attach_jinode –> return -ENOMEM iput(inode) –> free inode<12> — loop2: last_orphan is still 12 — list_add(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_orphan, &EXT4_SB(sb)->s_orphan); // use inode<12> and trigger UAF
To solve this issue, we need to propagate the return value of ext4_inode_attach_jinode() appropriately.
