[PATCH] mm: shmem: Fix UAF bug in shmem_show_options()

From: Tu Jinjiang
Date: Wed May 24 2023 - 22:29:05 EST


shmem_show_options() uses sbinfo->mpol without adding it's refcnt. This
may lead to race with replacement of the mpol by remount. The execution
sequence is as follows.

CPU0 CPU1
shmem_show_options() shmem_reconfigure()
shmem_show_mpol(seq, sbinfo->mpol) mpol = sbinfo->mpol
mpol_put(mpol)
mpol->mode

The KASAN report is as follows.

The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888124324000
which belongs to the cache numa_policy of size 32
The buggy address is located 4 bytes inside of
freed 32-byte region [ffff888124324000, ffff888124324020)
==================================================================

To fix the bug, shmem_get_sbmpol() / mpol_put() needs to be called
before / after shmem_show_mpol() call.
