[RESEND PATCH] btrfs: Fix UAF when cleaning up fs_devs with a single stale device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Commit 4fde46f0cc71 ("Btrfs: free the stale device") introduced
btrfs_free_stale_device which iterates the device lists for all
registered btrfs filesystems and deletes those devices which aren't
mounted. In a btrfs_devices structure has only 1 device attached to it
and it is unused then btrfs_free_stale_devices will proceed to also
free the btrfs_fs_devices struct itself. Currently this leads to a UAF
since list_for_each_entry will try to perform a check on the already-
freed memory to see if it has to terminated the loop.

The fix is to use 'break' when we know we are freeing the current
fs_devs.
