CVE-2023-52468

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

class: fix use-after-free in class_register()

The lock_class_key is still registered and can be found in lock_keys_hash hlist after subsys_private is freed in error handler path.A task who iterate over the lock_keys_hash later may cause use-after-free.So fix that up and unregister the lock_class_key before kfree(cp).

On our platform, a driver fails to kset_register because of creating duplicate filename '/class/xxx'.With Kasan enabled, it prints a invalid-access bug report.

KASAN bug report:

BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in lockdep_register_key+0x19c/0x1bc Write of size 8 at addr 15ffff808b8c0368 by task modprobe/252 Pointer tag: [15], memory tag: [fe]

As CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC is not set, Kasan reports invalid-access not use-after-free here.In this case, modprobe is manipulating the corrupted lock_keys_hash hlish where lock_class_key is already freed before.

It's worth noting that this only can happen if lockdep is enabled, which is not true for normal system.
