In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
liveupdate: Remember FLB retrieve() status
LUO keeps track of successful retrieve attempts on an FLB. It does so
to avoid multiple retrievals of the same FLB. Multiple retrievals cause
problems because once the FLB is retrieved, the serialized data
structures are likely freed and the FLB is likely in a very different
state from what the code expects.
All this works well when retrieve succeeds. When it fails,
luo_flb_retrieve_one() returns the error immediately, without ever
storing anywhere that a retrieve was attempted or what its error code
was. If the user attempts to retrieve another file registered with the
same FLB, LUO will attempt to call the FLB's retrieve() callback again.
The retry is problematic for much of the same reasons listed above. The
FLB is likely in a very different state than what the retrieve logic
normally expects (e.g. some KHO pages may have already been restored and
freed).
There is no sane way of attempting the retrieve again. Remember the
error retrieve returned and directly return it on a retry.
This is done by changing the retrieved bool to a retrieve_status
integer. A value of 0 means retrieve was never attempted, a positive
value means it succeeded, and a negative value means it failed and the
error code is the value.
This is similar to commit f85b1c6af5bc ("liveupdate: luo_file: remember
retrieve() status") which did the same for LUO files.
