Re: [PATCH v4] bpf: Fix KASAN use-after-free Read in compute_effective_progs

On 5/17/22 11:04, Tadeusz Struk wrote:

Syzbot found a Use After Free bug in compute_effective_progs(). The reproducer creates a number of BPF links, and causes a fault injected alloc to fail, while calling bpf_link_detach on them. Link detach triggers the link to be freed by bpf_link_free(), which calls __cgroup_bpf_detach() and update_effective_progs(). If the memory allocation in this function fails, the function restores the pointer to the bpf_cgroup_link on the cgroup list, but the memory gets freed just after it returns. After this, every subsequent call to update_effective_progs() causes this already deallocated pointer to be dereferenced in prog_list_length(), and triggers KASAN UAF error.

To fix this issue don't preserve the pointer to the prog or link in the list, but remove it and replace it with a dummy prog without shrinking the table. The subsequent call to __cgroup_bpf_detach() or __cgroup_bpf_detach() will correct it.

v2: Add a fall back path that removes a prog from the effective progs table in case detach fails to allocate memory in compute_effective_progs().

v3: Implement the fallback in a separate function purge_effective_progs

v4: Changed purge_effective_progs() to manipulate the array in a similar way how replace_effective_prog() does it.

Hi Andrii, Do you have any more feedback? Does it look better to you now?
