CVE-2023-52629: sh: push-switch: Reorder cleanup operations to avoid use-after-free bug

Published Mar 29, 2024

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sh: push-switch: Reorder cleanup operations to avoid use-after-free bug

The original code puts flushwork() before timershutdownsync() in switchdrvremove(). Although we use flushwork() to stop the worker, it could be rescheduled in switchtimer(). As a result, a use-after-free bug can occur. The details are shown below:

(cpu 0) | (cpu 1) switchdrvremove() | flushwork() | ... | switchtimer // timer | schedulework(&psw->work) timershutdownsync() | ... | switchworkhandler // worker kfree(psw) // free | | psw->state = 0 // use

This patch puts timershutdownsync() before flushwork() to mitigate the bugs. As a result, the worker and timer will be stopped safely before the deallocate operations.
