In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block, bfq: fix bfqq uaf in bfq_limit_depth() Set new allocated bfqq to bic or remove freed bfqq from bic are both protected by bfqd->lock, however bfq_limit_depth() is deferencing bfqq from bic without the lock, this can lead to UAF if the io_context is shared by multiple tasks. For example, test bfq with io_uring can trigger following UAF in v6.6: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in bfqq_group+0x15/0x50 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x47/0x80 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x66/0x300 print_report+0x3e/0x70 kasan_report+0xb4/0xf0 bfqq_group+0x15/0x50 bfqq_request_over_limit+0x130/0x9a0 bfq_limit_depth+0x1b5/0x480 __blk_mq_alloc_requests+0x2b5/0xa00 blk_mq_get_new_requests+0x11d/0x1d0 blk_mq_submit_bio+0x286/0xb00 submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0x331/0x400 __block_write_full_folio+0x3d0/0x640 writepage_cb+0x3b/0xc0 write_cache_pages+0x254/0x6c0 write_cache_pages+0x254/0x6c0 do_writepages+0x192/0x310 filemap_fdatawrite_wbc+0x95/0xc0 __filemap_fdatawrite_range+0x99/0xd0 filemap_write_and_wait_range.part.0+0x4d/0xa0 blkdev_read_iter+0xef/0x1e0 io_read+0x1b6/0x8a0 io_issue_sqe+0x87/0x300 io_wq_submit_work+0xeb/0x390 io_worker_handle_work+0x24d/0x550 io_wq_worker+0x27f/0x6c0 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1b/0x30 </TASK> Allocated by task 808602: kasan_save_stack+0x1e/0x40 kasan_set_track+0x21/0x30 __kasan_slab_alloc+0x83/0x90 kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x1b1/0x6d0 bfq_get_queue+0x138/0xfa0 bfq_get_bfqq_handle_split+0xe3/0x2c0 bfq_init_rq+0x196/0xbb0 bfq_insert_request.isra.0+0xb5/0x480 bfq_insert_requests+0x156/0x180 blk_mq_insert_request+0x15d/0x440 blk_mq_submit_bio+0x8a4/0xb00 submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0x331/0x400 __blkdev_direct_IO_async+0x2dd/0x330 blkdev_write_iter+0x39a/0x450 io_write+0x22a/0x840 io_issue_sqe+0x87/0x300 io_wq_submit_work+0xeb/0x390 io_worker_handle_work+0x24d/0x550 io_wq_worker+0x27f/0x6c0 ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x50 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1b/0x30 Freed by task 808589: kasan_save_stack+0x1e/0x40 kasan_set_track+0x21/0x30 kasan_save_free_info+0x27/0x40 __kasan_slab_free+0x126/0x1b0 kmem_cache_free+0x10c/0x750 bfq_put_queue+0x2dd/0x770 __bfq_insert_request.isra.0+0x155/0x7a0 bfq_insert_request.isra.0+0x122/0x480 bfq_insert_requests+0x156/0x180 blk_mq_dispatch_plug_list+0x528/0x7e0 blk_mq_flush_plug_list.part.0+0xe5/0x590 __blk_flush_plug+0x3b/0x90 blk_finish_plug+0x40/0x60 do_writepages+0x19d/0x310 filemap_fdatawrite_wbc+0x95/0xc0 __filemap_fdatawrite_range+0x99/0xd0 filemap_write_and_wait_range.part.0+0x4d/0xa0 blkdev_read_iter+0xef/0x1e0 io_read+0x1b6/0x8a0 io_issue_sqe+0x87/0x300 io_wq_submit_work+0xeb/0x390 io_worker_handle_work+0x24d/0x550 io_wq_worker+0x27f/0x6c0 ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x50 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1b/0x30 Fix the problem by protecting bic_to_bfqq() with bfqd->lock.
