jira VULN-63551 cve-pre CVE-2021-47505 commit-author Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> commit 42288cb Several ->poll() implementations are special in that they use a waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task, rather than the struct file as is normally the case. This is okay for blocking polls, since a blocking poll occurs within one task; however, non-blocking polls require another solution. This solution is for the queue to be cleared before it is freed, using 'wake_up_poll(wq, EPOLLHUP | POLLFREE);'. However, that has a bug: wake_up_poll() calls __wake_up() with nr_exclusive=1. Therefore, if there are multiple "exclusive" waiters, and the wakeup function for the first one returns a positive value, only that one will be called. That's *not* what's needed for POLLFREE; POLLFREE is special in that it really needs to wake up everyone. Considering the three non-blocking poll systems: - io_uring poll doesn't handle POLLFREE at all, so it is broken anyway. - aio poll is unaffected, since it doesn't support exclusive waits. However, that's fragile, as someone could add this feature later. - epoll doesn't appear to be broken by this, since its wakeup function returns 0 when it sees POLLFREE. But this is fragile. Although there is a workaround (see epoll), it's better to define a function which always sends POLLFREE to all waiters. Add such a function. Also make it verify that the queue really becomes empty after all waiters have been woken up.

jira VULN-63551 cve-pre CVE-2021-47505 commit-author Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> commit 363bee2 Currently, aio_poll_wake() will always remove the poll request from the waitqueue. Then, if aio_poll_complete_work() sees that none of the polled events are ready and the request isn't cancelled, it re-adds the request to the waitqueue. (This can easily happen when polling a file that doesn't pass an event mask when waking up its waitqueue.) This is fundamentally broken for two reasons: 1. If a wakeup occurs between vfs_poll() and the request being re-added to the waitqueue, it will be missed because the request wasn't on the waitqueue at the time. Therefore, IOCB_CMD_POLL might never complete even if the polled file is ready. 2. When the request isn't on the waitqueue, there is no way to be notified that the waitqueue is being freed (which happens when its lifetime is shorter than the struct file's). This is supposed to happen via the waitqueue entries being woken up with POLLFREE. Therefore, leave the requests on the waitqueue until they are actually completed (or cancelled). To keep track of when aio_poll_complete_work needs to be scheduled, use new fields in struct poll_iocb. Remove the 'done' field which is now redundant. Note that this is consistent with how sys_poll() and eventpoll work; their wakeup functions do *not* remove the waitqueue entries.

jira VULN-63551 cve CVE-2021-47505 commit-author Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> commit 50252e4 signalfd_poll() and binder_poll() are special in that they use a waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task, rather than the struct file as is normally the case. This is okay for blocking polls, since a blocking poll occurs within one task; however, non-blocking polls require another solution. This solution is for the queue to be cleared before it is freed, by sending a POLLFREE notification to all waiters. Unfortunately, only eventpoll handles POLLFREE. A second type of non-blocking poll, aio poll, was added in kernel v4.18, and it doesn't handle POLLFREE. This allows a use-after-free to occur if a signalfd or binder fd is polled with aio poll, and the waitqueue gets freed. Fix this by making aio poll handle POLLFREE. A patch by Ramji Jiyani <ramjiyani@google.com> (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211027011834.2497484-1-ramjiyani@google.com) tried to do this by making aio_poll_wake() always complete the request inline if POLLFREE is seen. However, that solution had two bugs. First, it introduced a deadlock, as it unconditionally locked the aio context while holding the waitqueue lock, which inverts the normal locking order. Second, it didn't consider that POLLFREE notifications are missed while the request has been temporarily de-queued. The second problem was solved by my previous patch. This patch then properly fixes the use-after-free by handling POLLFREE in a deadlock-free way. It does this by taking advantage of the fact that freeing of the waitqueue is RCU-delayed, similar to what eventpoll does.

jira VULN-4566 cve CVE-2023-52707 commit-author Munehisa Kamata <kamatam@amazon.com> commit c2dbe32 If a non-root cgroup gets removed when there is a thread that registered trigger and is polling on a pressure file within the cgroup, the polling waitqueue gets freed in the following path: do_rmdir cgroup_rmdir kernfs_drain_open_files cgroup_file_release cgroup_pressure_release psi_trigger_destroy However, the polling thread still has a reference to the pressure file and will access the freed waitqueue when the file is closed or upon exit: fput ep_eventpoll_release ep_free ep_remove_wait_queue remove_wait_queue This results in use-after-free as pasted below. The fundamental problem here is that cgroup_file_release() (and consequently waitqueue's lifetime) is not tied to the file's real lifetime. Using wake_up_pollfree() here might be less than ideal, but it is in line with the comment at commit 42288cb ("wait: add wake_up_pollfree()") since the waitqueue's lifetime is not tied to file's one and can be considered as another special case. While this would be fixable by somehow making cgroup_file_release() be tied to the fput(), it would require sizable refactoring at cgroups or higher layer which might be more justifiable if we identify more cases like this.

Background
The original intent here was to backport c2dbe32 to address CVE-2023-52707. That required prerequisite commit acf21dc to add the function wake_up_pollfree(). This commit was committed to mainline, and backported to many LT kernels, as part of a 5 commit series, which itself includes commit f2fe402 to address CVE-2021-47505. I've gone ahead and added all 5 of those commits even though technically they aren't all build time or run time prerequisites for the CVE fixes at hand. But based on the commit messages they are real fixes for real problems, so it seems like a good thing to have them.
