From: Kees Cook keescook@chromium.org Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2021 18:23:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/slub: actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning

It turns out that SLUB redzoning ("slub_debug=Z") checks from s->object_size rather than from s->inuse (which is normally bumped to make room for the freelist pointer), so a cache created with an object size less than 24 would have the freelist pointer written beyond s->object_size, causing the redzone to be corrupted by the freelist pointer. This was very visible with "slub_debug=ZF":

Adjust the offset to stay within s->object_size.

(Note that no caches of in this size range are known to exist in the kernel currently.)
