CVE-2023-2269: Medium severity Linux Linux kernel vulnerability

Published Apr 25, 2023
·
Updated

A bug in the Linux kernel version 6.2.0 by syzkaller with our own templates. The bug causes a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a deadlock.

The key trace is as follows:

downread+0x9d/0x450 kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1509 dmgetinactivetable+0x2b/0xc0 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:773 devstatus+0x4fd/0x7c0 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:844 tableclear+0x197/0x280 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:1537

In tableclear, it acquires a write lock https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L1520 downwrite(&hashlock);

Then before the lock is released at L1539, there is a path shown above: tableclear -> devstatus -> dmgetinactivetable -> downread

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L773 downread(&hashlock);

It tries to acquire the same read lock again, resulting in the deadlock problem

Other sources

A denial of service problem was found, due to a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a deadlock in tableclear in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux Kernel Device Mapper-Multipathing sub-component.

— Launchpad

Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a deadlock in the tableclear function in the Device Mapper-Multipathing sub-component in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c. By sending a specially crafted request, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
