[PATCH v2] bpf: Fix KASAN use-after-free Read in compute_effective_progs

From: Tadeusz Struk
Date: Fri Apr 15 2022 - 10:14:36 EST


Syzbot found a Use After Free bug in compute_effective_progs().
The reproducer creates a number of BPF links, and causes a fault
injected alloc to fail, while calling bpf_link_detach on them.
Link detach triggers the link to be freed by bpf_link_free(),
which calls __cgroup_bpf_detach() and update_effective_progs().
If the memory allocation in this function fails, the function restores
the pointer to the bpf_cgroup_link on the cgroup list, but the memory
gets freed just after it returns. After this, every subsequent call to
update_effective_progs() causes this already deallocated pointer to be
dereferenced in prog_list_length(), and triggers KASAN UAF error.

To fix this issue don't preserve the pointer to the prog or link in the
list, but remove it and rearrange the effective table without
shrinking it. The subsequent call to __cgroup_bpf_detach() or
__cgroup_bpf_detach() will correct it.

v2: Add a fall back path that removes a prog from the effective progs
table in case detach fails to allocate memory in compute_effective_progs().
