locking/lockdep: Avoid potential access of invalid memory in lock_class
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 61cc453 upstream.

It was found that reading /proc/lockdep after a lockdep splat may
potentially cause an access to freed memory if lockdep_unregister_key()
is called after the splat but before access to /proc/lockdep [1]. This
is due to the fact that graph_lock() call in lockdep_unregister_key()
fails after the clearing of debug_locks by the splat process.

After lockdep_unregister_key() is called, the lock_name may be freed
but the corresponding lock_class structure still have a reference to
it. That invalid memory pointer will then be accessed when /proc/lockdep
is read by a user and a use-after-free (UAF) error will be reported if
KASAN is enabled.

To fix this problem, lockdep_unregister_key() is now modified to always
search for a matching key irrespective of the debug_locks state and
zap the corresponding lock class if a matching one is found.
