🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 DRM/GEM 구성 요소에서 gem_change_handle ioctl 호출 시 발생하는 레이스 컨디션 취약점입니다. 기존의 여러 수정 시도가 변수 혼동 및 오류 처리 미흡으로 인해 실패하면서, 객체 참조 및 IDR 슬롯 관리 과정에서 보안 결함이 발생했습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
컴퓨터의 그래픽 자원을 관리하는 과정에서 두 가지 작업이 동시에 일어날 때 발생하는 충돌 문제입니다. 이 충돌을 이용하면 시스템의 메모리 관리 체계에 혼란을 주어 보안 문제를 일으킬 수 있습니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/gem: Try to fix change_handle ioctl, attempt 4
[airlied: just added some comments on how to reenable]
On-list because the cat is out of the bag and we're clearly not good
enough to figure this out in private. The story thus far:
5e28b7b94408 ("drm: Set old handle to NULL before prime swap in
change_handle") tried to fix a race condition between the gem_close and
gem_change_handle ioctls, but got a few things wrong:
- There's a confusion with the local variable handle, which is actually
the new handle, and so the two-stage trick was actually applied to the
wrong idr slot. 7164d78559b0 ("drm/gem: fix race between
change_handle and handle_delete") tried to fix that by adding yet
another code block, but forgot to add the error handling. Which meant
we now have two paths, both kinda wrong.
- dc366607c41c ("drm: Replace old pointer to new idr") tried to apply
another fix, but inconsistently, again because of the handle confusion
- this would be the right fix (kinda, somewhat, it's a mess) if we'd
do the two-stage approach for the new handle. Except that wasn't the
intent of the original fix.
We also didn't have an igt merged for the original ioctl, which is a big
no-go. This was attempted to address off-list in the original bugfix,
and amd QA people claimed the bug was fixed now. Very clearly that's not
the case. Here's my attempt to sort this out:
- Rename the local variable to new_handle, the old aliasing with
args->handle is just too dangerously confusing.
- Merge the gem obj lookup with the two-stage idr_replace so that we
avoid getting ourselves confused there.
- This means we don't have a surplus temporary reference anymore, only
an inherited from the idr. A concurrent gem_close on the new_handle
could steal that. Fix that with the same two-stage approach
create_tail uses. This is a bit overkill as documented in the comment,
but I also don't trust my ability to understand this all correctly, so
go with the established pattern we have from other ioctls instead for
maximum paranoia.
- Adjust error paths. I've tried to make the error and success paths
common, because they are identical except for which handle is removed
and on which we call idr_replace to (re)install the object again. But
that made things messier to read, so I've left it at the more verbose
version, which unfortunately hides the symmetry in the entire code
flow a bit.
- While at it, also replace the 7 space indent with 1 tab.
And finally, because I flat out don't trust my abilities here at all
anymore:
- Disable the ioctl until we have the igt situation and everything else
sorted out on-list and with full consensus.
v2:
Sashiko noticed that I didn't handle the error path for idr_replace
correctly, it must be checked with IS_ERR_OR_NULL like in
gem_handle_delete. So yeah, definitely should just the existing paths
1:1 because this is endless amounts of tricky.
Also add the Fixes: line for the original ioctl, I forgot that too.
