Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: check ctx->sq_data before io_sq_offload_start
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2021 18:06:31 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/[email protected]

syzkaller identified KASAN: null-ptr-deref Read in io_uring_create
bug on the stable 5.11-y tree.

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in io_sq_offload_start fs/io_uring.c:8254 [inline]
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in io_disable_sqo_submit fs/io_uring.c:8999 [inline]
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in io_uring_create+0x1275/0x22f0 fs/io_uring.c:9824
Read of size 8 at addr 0000000000000068 by task syz-executor.0/4350

A simple reproducer for this bug is:

int main(void)
{
  syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x20000000ul, 0x1000000ul, 7ul, 0x32ul, -1, 0ul);
  intptr_t res = 0;
  pid_t parent = getpid();
  *(uint32_t*)0x20000084 = 0;
  *(uint32_t*)0x20000088 = 0x42;
  *(uint32_t*)0x2000008c = 0;
  *(uint32_t*)0x20000090 = 0;
  *(uint32_t*)0x20000098 = -1;
  *(uint32_t*)0x2000009c = 0;
  *(uint32_t*)0x200000a0 = 0;
  *(uint32_t*)0x200000a4 = 0;
  if (fork() == 0) {
    kill(parent,SIGKILL);
    exit(0);
  }
  res = syscall(__NR_io_uring_setup, 0x7994, 0x20000080ul);
  return 0;
}

Due to the SIGKILL sent to the process before io_uring_setup
completes, ctx->sq_data is NULL. Therefore, io_sq_offload_start
does a null pointer dereferenced read. More details on this bug
are in [1]. Discussion for this patch happened in [2].
