In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix a use-after-free problem in rxe_mmap
rxe_mmap() removes a rxe_mmap_info struct from the pending_mmaps list
and releases pending_lock while the struct's kref is still at 1:
list_del_init(&ip->pending_mmaps);
spin_unlock_bh(&rxe->pending_lock); /* ref == 1, no lock held */
ret = remap_vmalloc_range(vma, ip->obj, 0); /* walks PTEs */
[...]
rxe_vma_open(vma); /* kref_get, ref → 2 */
remap_vmalloc_range_partial() walks PTEs without any lock.
A concurrent DESTROY_CQ ioctl on another CPU calls:
kref_put(&q->ip->ref, rxe_mmap_release) /* ref 1→0 */
vfree(ip->obj) /* clears vmalloc PTEs mid-walk */
kfree(ip) /* frees rxe_mmap_info */
This yields:
1. Kernel crash, vmalloc_to_page() returns NULL when vfree wins the
per-PTE race -> vm_insert_page(NULL) → GPF in validate_page_before_insert
2. Page UAF, vmalloc_to_page() reads a stale PTE before vfree clears
it. User VMA holds a PTE to a free'd page which might eventually get
reallocated later by vmalloc which allows the attacker to get a clean
page-level UAF.
It is worth noting that even though a page-level UAF is possible given
the strong primitive, it is statistically very difficult to achieve
given the very short time window (after the last insert_page and before
the kref_get).
The call trace are as below:
