🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 FunctionFS(f_fs) 구성 요소에서 DMABUF 요청 완료 처리 시 사용 후 해제(Use-After-Free) 취약점이 발견되었습니다. 요청이 완료되어 메모리가 해제된 후에도 포인터가 남아 있어, 이후 취소 작업 시 해제된 메모리에 접근하여 시스템 충돌이나 권한 상승을 유발할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
컴퓨터가 이미 사용이 끝나서 버린 메모리 주소를 여전히 유효한 것으로 착각하고 다시 사용하려고 할 때 발생하는 문제입니다. 이로 인해 시스템이 갑자기 멈추거나 해커가 시스템 권한을 가로챌 위험이 있습니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: serialize DMABUF cancel against request completion
ffs_epfile_dmabuf_io_complete() calls usb_ep_free_request() on the
completed request but leaves priv->req, the back-pointer that
ffs_dmabuf_transfer() set on submission, pointing at the freed
memory. A later FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH ioctl or
ffs_epfile_release() on the close path still sees priv->req
non-NULL under ffs->eps_lock:
if (priv->ep && priv->req)
usb_ep_dequeue(priv->ep, priv->req);
so usb_ep_dequeue() is called on a freed usb_request.
On dummy_hcd the dequeue path only walks a live queue and
pointer-compares, so the freed pointer reads without faulting and
KASAN requires an explicit check at the FunctionFS call site to
surface the use-after-free. On SG-capable in-tree UDCs the
dequeue path dereferences the supplied request immediately:
* chipidea's ep_dequeue() does
container_of(req, struct ci_hw_req, req) and reads
hwreq->req.status before acquiring its own lock.
* cdnsp's cdnsp_gadget_ep_dequeue() reads request->status first.
The narrower option of clearing priv->req via cmpxchg() in the
completion does not close the race: the completion runs without
eps_lock, so a cancel path holding eps_lock can still observe
priv->req non-NULL, race a concurrent completion that clears and
frees, and pass the freed pointer to usb_ep_dequeue(). A slightly
longer fix that moves the free into the cleanup work is needed.
Same class of lifetime race as the recent usbip-vudc timer fix [1].
Take eps_lock in the sole place that mutates priv->req from the
callback direction by moving usb_ep_free_request() out of the
completion into ffs_dmabuf_cleanup(), the existing work handler
scheduled by ffs_dmabuf_signal_done() on
ffs->io_completion_wq. Clear priv->req there under eps_lock
before freeing, and only clear if priv->req still names our
request (a subsequent ffs_dmabuf_transfer() on the same
attachment may have queued a new one).
This keeps the existing dummy_hcd sync-dequeue invariant: the
completion callback is still invoked by the UDC without
eps_lock held (dummy_hcd drops its own lock before calling the
callback), and the callback now takes no f_fs lock at all.
Serialization against the cancel path happens in cleanup, which
runs from the workqueue with no f_fs lock held on entry.
The priv ref count protects the containing ffs_dmabuf_priv:
ffs_dmabuf_transfer() takes a ref via ffs_dmabuf_get(), cleanup
drops it via ffs_dmabuf_put(), so priv stays live for the
cleanup even after the cancel path's list_del + ffs_dmabuf_put.
The ffs_dmabuf_transfer() error path no longer frees usb_req
inline: fence->req and fence->ep are set before usb_ep_queue(),
so ffs_dmabuf_cleanup() (scheduled by the error-path
ffs_dmabuf_signal_done()) owns the free regardless of whether
the queue succeeded.
Reproduced under KASAN on both detach and close paths against
dummy_hcd with an observability hook
(kasan_check_byte(priv->req) immediately before usb_ep_dequeue)
at the two FunctionFS cancel sites to surface the stale-pointer
access; the hook is not part of this patch. The KASAN
allocator / free stacks in the captured splats identify the
same request: alloc in dummy_alloc_request, free in
dummy_timer, fault reached from ffs_epfile_release (close) and
from the FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH ioctl (detach). With the
patch applied, both paths are silent under the same hook.
The bug is reached from the FunctionFS device node, which in
real deployments is owned by the privileged gadget daemon
(adbd, UMS, composite gadget services, etc.); it is not
reachable from unprivileged userspace or from a USB host on the
cable. FunctionFS mounts default to GLOBAL_ROOT_UID, but the
filesystem supports uid=, gid=, and fmode= delegation to a
non-root gadget daemon, so on real deployments the attacker may
be a less-privileged service rather than root.
