[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 38/42] sched/fair: Don't free p->numa_faults with concurrent readers

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Fri Aug 02 2019 - 09:31:11 EST


From: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 16d51a590a8ce3befb1308e0e7ab77f3b661af33 ]

When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.

During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.

Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.
