if the child has been negative and just went positive
under us, we want coherent d_is_positive() and -&gt;d_inode.
Don't unlock the parent until we'd done that work...

<title>audit: fix use-after-free in audit_add_watch</title>

[ Upstream commit baa2a4fdd525c8c4b0f704d20457195b29437839 ]

audit_add_watch stores locally krule-&gt;watch without taking a reference
on watch. Then, it calls audit_add_to_parent, and uses the watch stored
locally.

Unfortunately, it is possible that audit_add_to_parent updates
krule-&gt;watch.
When it happens, it also drops a reference of watch which
could free the watch.

How to reproduce (with KASAN enabled):

    auditctl -w /etc/passwd -F success=0 -k test_passwd
    auditctl -w /etc/passwd -F success=1 -k test_passwd2

The second call to auditctl triggers the use-after-free, because
audit_to_parent updates krule-&gt;watch to use a previous existing watch
and drops the reference to the newly created watch.

To fix the issue, we grab a reference of watch and we release it at the
end of the function.

commit d76036ab47eafa6ce52b69482e91ca3ba337d6d6 upstream.

audit_remove_watch_rule() drops watch's reference to parent but then
continues to work with it. That is not safe as parent can get freed once
we drop our reference. The following is a trivial reproducer:

mount -o loop image /mnt
touch /mnt/file
auditctl -w /mnt/file -p wax
umount /mnt
auditctl -D
&lt;crash in fsnotify_destroy_mark()&gt;

Grab our own reference in audit_remove_watch_rule() earlier to make sure
mark does not get freed under us.

Prior to the change the function would blindly deference mm, exe_file
and exe_file-&gt;f_inode, each of which could have been NULL or freed.

Use get_task_exe_file to safely obtain stable exe_file.

  The two patches with actual content are designed to help prevent new

  Nothing controversial, and everything passes our regression suite"
