linux-stable.git/drivers/tty, branch v5.7.2 Linux kernel stable tree tty: hvc_console, fix crashes on parallel open/close 2020-06-10T18:21:44+00:00 Jiri Slaby jslaby@suse.cz 2020-05-26T14:56:32+00:00 4d18b3f94eefc4f1b22fa6fdbb083485cb5323e4 commit 24eb2377f977fe06d84fca558f891f95bc28a449 upstream. hvc_open sets tty->driver_data to NULL when open fails at some point. Typically, the failure happens in hp->ops->notifier_add(). If there is a racing process which tries to open such mangled tty, which was not closed yet, the process will crash in hvc_open as tty->driver_data is NULL. All this happens because close wants to know whether open failed or not. But ->open should not NULL this and other tty fields for ->close to be happy. ->open should call tty_port_set_initialized(true) and close should check by tty_port_initialized() instead. So do this properly in this driver. So this patch removes these from ->open: * tty_port_tty_set(&hp->port, NULL). This happens on last close. * tty->driver_data = NULL. Dtto. * tty_port_put(&hp->port). This happens in shutdown and until now, this must have been causing a reference underflow, if I am not missing something.

commit 24eb2377f977fe06d84fca558f891f95bc28a449 upstream.

hvc_open sets tty->driver_data to NULL when open fails at some point.
Typically, the failure happens in hp->ops->notifier_add(). If there is
a racing process which tries to open such mangled tty, which was not
closed yet, the process will crash in hvc_open as tty->driver_data is
NULL.

All this happens because close wants to know whether open failed or not.
But ->open should not NULL this and other tty fields for ->close to be
happy. ->open should call tty_port_set_initialized(true) and close
should check by tty_port_initialized() instead. So do this properly in
this driver.

So this patch removes these from ->open:
* tty_port_tty_set(&hp->port, NULL). This happens on last close.
* tty->driver_data = NULL. Dtto.
* tty_port_put(&hp->port). This happens in shutdown and until now, this
  must have been causing a reference underflow, if I am not missing
  something.

commit b86dab054059b970111b5516ae548efaae5b3aae upstream.

When k_ascii is invoked several times in a row there is a potential for
signed integer overflow:

UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:888:19 signed integer overflow:
10 * 1111111111 cannot be represented in type 'int'
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.6.11 #1
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011
Call Trace:

While it can be worked around by using check_mul_overflow()/
check_add_overflow(), it is better to introduce a separate flag to
signal that number pad is being used to compose a symbol, and
change type of the accumulator from signed to unsigned, thus
avoiding undefined behavior when it overflows.

If there is a lot(more then 16) of virtio-console devices
or virtio_console module is reloaded
- buffers 'vtermnos' and 'cons_ops' are overflowed.
In older kernels it overruns spinlock which leads to kernel freezing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1786239

To reproduce the issue, you can try simple script that
loads/unloads module. Something like this:
while [ 1 ]
do
  modprobe virtio_console
  sleep 2
  modprobe -r virtio_console
  sleep 2
done

Description of problem:
Guest get 'Call Trace' when loading module "virtio_console"
and unloading it frequently - clearly reproduced on kernel-4.18.0:
