In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: remove requests from xarray during flushing requests
Even with CACHEFILES_DEAD set, we can still read the requests, so in the
following concurrency the request may be used after it has been freed:
mount | daemon_thread1 | daemon_thread2
------------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_ondemand_init_object
cachefiles_ondemand_send_req
REQ_A = kzalloc(sizeof(*req) + data_len)
wait_for_completion(&REQ_A->done)
cachefiles_daemon_read
cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read
// close dev fd
cachefiles_flush_reqs
complete(&REQ_A->done)
kfree(REQ_A)
xa_lock(&cache->reqs);
cachefiles_ondemand_select_req
req->msg.opcode != CACHEFILES_OP_READ
// req use-after-free !!!
xa_unlock(&cache->reqs);
xa_destroy(&cache->reqs)
Hence remove requests from cache->reqs when flushing them to avoid
accessing freed requests.Verknüpft mit AI von unstrukturierten Daten zu bestehenden CPE der NVD

CWE-416 Use After Free
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
