    cgroup/cpuset: Prevent UAF in proc_cpuset_show() · 1be59c97
    Chen Ridong authored
    An UAF can happen when /proc/cpuset is read as reported in [1].
    
    This can be reproduced by the following methods:
    1.add an mdelay(1000) before acquiring the cgroup_lock In the
     cgroup_path_ns function.
    2.$cat /proc/<pid>/cpuset   repeatly.
    3.$mount -t cgroup -o cpuset cpuset /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/
    $umount /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/   repeatly.
    
    The race that cause this bug can be shown as below:
    
    (umount)		|	(cat /proc/<pid>/cpuset)
    css_release		|	proc_cpuset_show
    css_release_work_fn	|	css = task_get_css(tsk, cpuset_cgrp_id);
    css_free_rwork_fn	|	cgroup_path_ns(css->cgroup, ...);
    cgroup_destroy_root	|	mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex);
    rebind_subsystems	|
    cgroup_free_root 	|
    			|	// cgrp was freed, UAF
    			|	cgroup_path_ns_locked(cgrp,..);
    
    When the cpuset is initialized, the root node top_cpuset.css.cgrp
    will point to &cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp. In cgroup v1, the mount operation will
    allocate cgroup_root, and top_cpuset.css.cgrp will point to the allocated
    &cgroup_root.cgrp. When the umount operation is executed,
    top_cpuset.css.cgrp will be rebound to &cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp.
    
    The problem is that when rebinding to cgrp_dfl_root, there are cases
    where the cgroup_root allocated by setting up the root for cgroup v1
    is cached. This could lead to a Use-After-Free (UAF) if it is
    subsequently freed. The descendant cgroups of cgroup v1 can only be
    freed after the css is released. However, the css of the root will never
    be released, yet the cgroup_root should be freed when it is unmounted.
    This means that obtaining a reference to the css of the root does
    not guarantee that css.cgrp->root will not be freed.
    
    Fix this problem by using rcu_read_lock in proc_cpuset_show().
    As cgroup_root is kfree_rcu after commit d23b5c57
    ("cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU safe"),
    css->cgroup won't be freed during the critical section.
    To call cgroup_path_ns_locked, css_set_lock is needed, so it is safe to
    replace task_get_css with task_css.
