Description Carlos López 2022-06-07 12:54:10 UTC

rh#2052312

In kernel's fanotify, if the copy_info_records_to_user() call in copy_event_to_user() fails,
it'll erroneously call put_unused_fd(fd) + fput(f) on a file that was
already populated by fd_install(). The erroneous code path, however, is
only reachable by privileged users, as one needs to pass the
"!FAN_GROUP_FLAG(group, FANOTIFY_UNPRIV)" test which won't if one isn't
already capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN), i.e. has the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in
the _init_ user namespace, which basically means root.

The bug was introduced by commit f644bc449b37 ("fanotify: fix
copy_event_to_user() fid error clean up"), which is Linux v5.13.

Comment 2 Carlos López 2022-06-07 13:02:09 UTC

Already fixed in SLE15-SP4 and newer. The fd_install() -> put_unused_fd() -> fput() path is not there in copy_event_to_user() for older branches, so I'd say none are affected.

Comment 3 Jan Kara 2022-06-08 10:40:51 UTC

Correct, I've already backported the fix to SLE15-SP4 and older branches are not affected. Reassigning back to security team.

Comment 4 Jan Kara 2022-06-08 10:42:16 UTC

Almost forgot, I've just pushed out update adding CVE reference to the patch in our repo.

Comment 5 Carlos López 2022-06-08 11:54:12 UTC

Thanks Jan. Closing.
