CVE-2026-31586

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: blk-cgroup: fix use-after-free in cgwb_release_workfn() cgwb_release_workfn() calls css_put(wb->blkcg_css) and then later accesses wb->blkcg_css again via blkcg_unpin_online(). If css_put() drops the last reference, the blkcg can be freed asynchronously (css_free_rwork_fn -> blkcg_css_free -> kfree) before blkcg_unpin_online() dereferences the pointer to access blkcg->online_pin, resulting in a use-after-free: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in blkcg_unpin_online (./include/linux/instrumented.h:112 ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:400 ./include/linux/refcount.h:389 ./include/linux/refcount.h:432 ./include/linux/refcount.h:450 block/blk-cgroup.c:1367) Write of size 4 at addr ff11000117aa6160 by task kworker/71:1/531 Workqueue: cgwb_release cgwb_release_workfn Call Trace: <TASK> blkcg_unpin_online (./include/linux/instrumented.h:112 ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:400 ./include/linux/refcount.h:389 ./include/linux/refcount.h:432 ./include/linux/refcount.h:450 block/blk-cgroup.c:1367) cgwb_release_workfn (mm/backing-dev.c:629) process_scheduled_works (kernel/workqueue.c:3278 kernel/workqueue.c:3385) Freed by task 1016: kfree (./include/linux/kasan.h:235 mm/slub.c:2689 mm/slub.c:6246 mm/slub.c:6561) css_free_rwork_fn (kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:5542) process_scheduled_works (kernel/workqueue.c:3302 kernel/workqueue.c:3385) ** Stack based on commit 66672af7a095 ("Add linux-next specific files for 20260410") I am seeing this crash sporadically in Meta fleet across multiple kernel versions. A full reproducer is available at: https://github.com/leitao/debug/blob/main/reproducers/repro_blkcg_uaf.sh (The race window is narrow. To make it easily reproducible, inject a msleep(100) between css_put() and blkcg_unpin_online() in cgwb_release_workfn(). With that delay and a KASAN-enabled kernel, the reproducer triggers the splat reliably in less than a second.) Fix this by moving blkcg_unpin_online() before css_put(), so the cgwb's CSS reference keeps the blkcg alive while blkcg_unpin_online() accesses it.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: mm: blk-cgroup: corregir uso después de liberación en cgwb_release_workfn() cgwb_release_workfn() llama a css_put(wb -> blkcg_css) y luego accede a wb -> blkcg_css de nuevo a través de blkcg_unpin_online(). Si css_put() libera la última referencia, el blkcg puede ser liberado asincrónicamente (css_free_rwork_fn -> blkcg_css_free -> kfree) antes de que blkcg_unpin_online() desreferencie el puntero para acceder a blkcg -> online_pin, resultando en un uso después de liberación: BUG: KASAN: slab-uso-después-de-liberación en blkcg_unpin_online (./include/linux/instrumented.h:112 ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:400 ./include/linux/refcount.h:389 ./include/linux/refcount.h:432 ./include/linux/refcount.h:450 block/blk-cgroup.c:1367) Escritura de tamaño 4 en la dirección ff11000117aa6160 por la tarea kworker/71:1/531 Cola de trabajo: cgwb_release cgwb_release_workfn Rastro de llamada: [TAREA] blkcg_unpin_online (./include/linux/instrumented.h:112 ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:400 ./include/linux/refcount.h:389 ./include/linux/refcount.h:432 ./include/linux/refcount.h:450 block/blk-cgroup.c:1367) cgwb_release_workfn (mm/backing-dev.c:629) process_scheduled_works (kernel/workqueue.c:3278 kernel/workqueue.c:3385) Liberado por la tarea 1016: kfree (./include/linux/kasan.h:235 mm/slub.c:2689 mm/slub.c:6246 mm/slub.c:6561) css_free_rwork_fn (kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:5542) process_scheduled_works (kernel/workqueue.c:3302 kernel/workqueue.c:3385) ** Pila basada en el commit 66672af7a095 (’Add linux-next specific files for 20260410’) Estoy viendo este fallo esporádicamente en la flota de Meta en múltiples versiones del kernel. Un reproductor completo está disponible en: https://github.com/leitao/debug/blob/main/reproducers/repro_blkcg_uaf.sh (La ventana de carrera es estrecha. Para que sea fácilmente reproducible, inyecte un msleep(100) entre css_put() y blkcg_unpin_online() en cgwb_release_workfn(). Con ese retraso y un kernel habilitado para KASAN, el reproductor activa el splat de forma fiable en menos de un segundo.) Corrija esto moviendo blkcg_unpin_online() antes de css_put(), para que la referencia CSS del cgwb mantenga el blkcg activo mientras blkcg_unpin_online() accede a él.
