Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
tipc: wait and exit until all work queues are done<br />
<br />
On some host, a crash could be triggered simply by repeating these<br />
commands several times:<br />
<br />
# modprobe tipc<br />
# tipc bearer enable media udp name UDP1 localip 127.0.0.1<br />
# rmmod tipc<br />
<br />
[] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffc096bb00<br />
[] Workqueue: events 0xffffffffc096bb00<br />
[] Call Trace:<br />
[] ? process_one_work+0x1a7/0x360<br />
[] ? worker_thread+0x30/0x390<br />
[] ? create_worker+0x1a0/0x1a0<br />
[] ? kthread+0x116/0x130<br />
[] ? kthread_flush_work_fn+0x10/0x10<br />
[] ? ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40<br />
<br />
When removing the TIPC module, the UDP tunnel sock will be delayed to<br />
release in a work queue as sock_release() can&#39;t be done in rtnl_lock().<br />
If the work queue is schedule to run after the TIPC module is removed,<br />
kernel will crash as the work queue function cleanup_beareri() code no<br />
longer exists when trying to invoke it.<br />
<br />
To fix it, this patch introduce a member wq_count in tipc_net to track<br />
the numbers of work queues in schedule, and wait and exit until all<br />
work queues are done in tipc_exit_net().
