In the copy_process() routine called by _do_fork(), failure to allocate a PID (or further along in the function) will trigger an invocation to exit_thread(). This is done to clean up from an earlier call to copy_thread_tls(). Naturally, the child task is passed into exit_thread(), however during the process, io_bitmap_exit() nullifies the parent's io_bitmap rather than the child's. As copy_thread_tls() has been called ahead of the failure, the reference count on the calling thread's io_bitmap is incremented as we would expect. However, io_bitmap_exit() doesn't accept any arguments, and thus assumes it should trash the current thread's io_bitmap reference rather than the child's. This is pretty sneaky in practice, because in all instances but this one, exit_thread() is called with respect to the current task and everything works out. A determined attacker can issue an appropriate ioctl (i.e. KDENABIO) to get a bitmap allocated, and force a clone3() syscall to fail by passing in a zeroed clone_args structure. The kernel handles the erroneous struct and the buggy code path is followed, and even though the parent's reference to the io_bitmap is trashed, the child still holds a reference and thus the structure will never be freed. Fix this by tweaking io_bitmap_exit() and its subroutines to accept a task_struct argument which to operate on. Fixes: ea5f1cd7 ("x86/ioperm: Remove bitmap if all permissions dropped") Signed-off-by:
