[PATCH 4.19 28/51] x86/insn-eval: Fix use-after-free access to LDT entry

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Jun 09 2019 - 12:52:41 EST


From: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit de9f869616dd95e95c00bdd6b0fcd3421e8a4323 upstream.

get_desc() computes a pointer into the LDT while holding a lock that
protects the LDT from being freed, but then drops the lock and returns the
(now potentially dangling) pointer to its caller.

Fix it by giving the caller a copy of the LDT entry instead.
