[PATCH 3.14 27/29] iscsi-target: Fix use-after-free during TPG session shutdown

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sat Aug 08 2015 - 18:43:04 EST


3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 417c20a9bdd1e876384127cf096d8ae8b559066c upstream.

This patch fixes a use-after-free bug in iscsit_release_sessions_for_tpg()
where se_portal_group->session_lock was incorrectly released/re-acquired
while walking the active se_portal_group->tpg_sess_list.

The can result in a NULL pointer dereference when iscsit_close_session()
shutdown happens in the normal path asynchronously to this code, causing
a bogus dereference of an already freed list entry to occur.

To address this bug, walk the session list checking for the same state
as before, but move entries to a local list to avoid dropping the lock
while walking the active list.

As before, signal using iscsi_session->session_restatement=1 for those
list entries to be released locally by iscsit_free_session() code.
