binder: prevent UAF for binderfs devices II
This is a necessary follow up to the first fix I proposed and we merged in 2669b8b0 ("binder: prevent UAF for binderfs devices"). I have been overly optimistic that the simple fix I proposed would work. But alas, ihold() + iput() won't work since the inodes won't survive the destruction of the superblock. So all we get with my prior fix is a different race with a tinier race-window but it doesn't solve the issue. Fwiw, the problem lies with generic_shutdown_super(). It even has this cozy Al-style comment: if (!list_empty(&sb->s_inodes)) { printk("VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of %s. " "Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day...\n", sb->s_id); } On binder_release(), binder_defer_work(proc, BINDER_DEFERRED_RELEASE) is called which punts the actual cleanup operation to a workqueue. At some point, binder_deferred_func() will be called which will end up calling binder_deferred_release() which will retrieve and cleanup the binder_context attach to this struct binder_proc. If we trace back where this binder_context is attached to binder_proc we see that it is set in binder_open() and is taken from the struct binder_device it is associated with. This obviously assumes that the struct binder_device that context is attached to is _never_ freed. While that might be true for devtmpfs binder devices it is most certainly wrong for binderfs binder devices. So, assume binder_open() is called on a binderfs binder devices. We now stash away the struct binder_context associated with that struct binder_devices: proc->context = &binder_dev->context; /* binderfs stashes devices in i_private */ if (is_binderfs_device(nodp)) { binder_dev = nodp->i_private; info = nodp->i_sb->s_fs_info; binder_binderfs_dir_entry_proc = info->proc_log_dir; } else { . . . proc->context = &binder_dev->context; Now let's assume that the binderfs instance for that binder devices is shutdown via umount() and/or the mount namespace associated with it goes away. As long as there is still an fd open for that binderfs binder device things are fine. But let's assume we now close the last fd for that binderfs binder device. Now binder_release() is called and punts to the workqueue. Assume that the workqueue has quite a bit of stuff to do and doesn't get to cleaning up the struct binder_proc and the associated struct binder_context with it for that binderfs binder device right away. In the meantime, the VFS is killing the super block and is ultimately calling sb->evict_inode() which means it will call binderfs_evict_inode() which does: static void binderfs_evict_inode(struct inode *inode) { struct binder_device *device = inode->i_private; struct binderfs_info *info = BINDERFS_I(inode); clear_inode(inode); if (!S_ISCHR(inode->i_mode) || !device) return; mutex_lock(&binderfs_minors_mutex); --info->device_count; ida_free(&binderfs_minors, device->miscdev.minor); mutex_unlock(&binderfs_minors_mutex); kfree(device->context.name); kfree(device); } thereby freeing the struct binder_device including struct binder_context. Now the workqueue finally has time to get around to cleaning up struct binder_proc and is now trying to access the associate struct binder_context. Since it's already freed it will OOPs. Fix this by introducing a refounct on binder devices. This is an alternative fix to 51d8a7ec ("binder: prevent UAF read in print_binder_transaction_log_entry()").
