CVE-2024-49960

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix timer use-after-free on failed mount Syzbot has found an ODEBUG bug in ext4_fill_super The del_timer_sync function cancels the s_err_report timer, which reminds about filesystem errors daily. We should guarantee the timer is no longer active before kfree(sbi). When filesystem mounting fails, the flow goes to failed_mount3, where an error occurs when ext4_stop_mmpd is called, causing a read I/O failure. This triggers the ext4_handle_error function that ultimately re-arms the timer, leaving the s_err_report timer active before kfree(sbi) is called. Fix the issue by canceling the s_err_report timer after calling ext4_stop_mmpd.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ext4: fix timer use-after-free on failed mount Syzbot ha encontrado un error ODEBUG en ext4_fill_super La función del_timer_sync cancela el temporizador s_err_report, que recuerda los errores del sistema de archivos a diario. Debemos garantizar que el temporizador ya no esté activo antes de kfree(sbi). Cuando falla el montaje del sistema de archivos, el flujo va a failed_mount3, donde ocurre un error cuando se llama a ext4_stop_mmpd, lo que causa un error de E/S de lectura. Esto activa la función ext4_handle_error que, en última instancia, vuelve a armar el temporizador, dejando el temporizador s_err_report activo antes de que se llame a kfree(sbi). Solucione el problema cancelando el temporizador s_err_report después de llamar a ext4_stop_mmpd.
