- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: padata: fix UAF in padata_reorder A

padata_parallel_worker+0x3d/0xc0 process_one_work+0x2ec/0x5a0 If 'mdelay(10)' is added before calling
'padata_find_next' in the 'padata_reorder' function, this issue could be reproduced easily with ltp test
(pcrypt_aead01). This can be explained as bellow: pcrypt_aead_encrypt ... padata_do_parallel
refcount_inc(&pd->refcnt); // add refcnt ... padata_do_serial padata_reorder // pd while (1) {
padata_find_next(pd, true); // using pd queue_work_on ... padata_serial_worker crypto_del_alg
padata_put_pd_cnt // sub refcnt padata_free_shell padata_put_pd(ps->pd); // pd is freed // loop again, but
pd is freed // call padata_find_next, UAF } In the padata_reorder function, when it loops in 'while', if
the alg is deleted, the refcnt May be decreased to 0 before entering 'padata_find_next', which leads to
UAF. As mentioned in [1], do_serial is supposed to be called with BHs disabled and always happen under RCU
protection, to address this issue, add synchronize_rcu() in 'padata_free_shell' wait for all _do_serial
calls to finish. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
