bpf: Fix UAF in task local storage
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit b0fd185 ]

When task local storage was generalized for tracing programs, the
bpf_task_local_storage callback was moved from a BPF LSM hook
callback for security_task_free LSM hook to it's own callback. But a
failure case in bad_fork_cleanup_security was missed which, when
triggered, led to a dangling task owner pointer and a subsequent
use-after-free. Move the bpf_task_storage_free to the very end of
free_task to handle all failure cases.

This issue was noticed when a BPF LSM program was attached to the
task_alloc hook on a kernel with KASAN enabled. The program used
bpf_task_storage_get to copy the task local storage from the current
task to the new task being created.

Fixes: a10787e ("bpf: Enable task local storage for tracing programs")
