    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Prevent UAF in kvm_spapr_tce_attach_iommu_group() · a986fa57
    Michael Ellerman authored
    Al reported a possible use-after-free (UAF) in kvm_spapr_tce_attach_iommu_group().
    
    It looks up `stt` from tablefd, but then continues to use it after doing
    fdput() on the returned fd. After the fdput() the tablefd is free to be
    closed by another thread. The close calls kvm_spapr_tce_release() and
    then release_spapr_tce_table() (via call_rcu()) which frees `stt`.
    
    Although there are calls to rcu_read_lock() in
    kvm_spapr_tce_attach_iommu_group() they are not sufficient to prevent
    the UAF, because `stt` is used outside the locked regions.
    
    With an artifcial delay after the fdput() and a userspace program which
    triggers the race, KASAN detects the UAF:

    Fix it by delaying the fdput() until `stt` is no longer in use, which
    is effectively the entire function. To keep the patch minimal add a call
    to fdput() at each of the existing return paths. Future work can convert
    the function to goto or __cleanup style cleanup.
    
    With the fix in place the test case no longer triggers the UAF.
