CVE-2023-53291

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> rcu/rcuscale: Stop kfree_scale_thread thread(s) after unloading rcuscale<br /> <br /> Running the &amp;#39;kfree_rcu_test&amp;#39; test case [1] results in a splat [2].<br /> The root cause is the kfree_scale_thread thread(s) continue running<br /> after unloading the rcuscale module. This commit fixes that isue by<br /> invoking kfree_scale_cleanup() from rcu_scale_cleanup() when removing<br /> the rcuscale module.<br /> <br /> [1] modprobe rcuscale kfree_rcu_test=1<br /> // After some time<br /> rmmod rcuscale<br /> rmmod torture<br /> <br /> [2] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0601a87<br /> #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode<br /> #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page<br /> PGD 11de4f067 P4D 11de4f067 PUD 11de51067 PMD 112f4d067 PTE 0<br /> Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI<br /> CPU: 1 PID: 1798 Comm: kfree_scale_thr Not tainted 6.3.0-rc1-rcu+ #1<br /> Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015<br /> RIP: 0010:0xffffffffc0601a87<br /> Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at 0xffffffffc0601a5d.<br /> RSP: 0018:ffffb25bc2e57e18 EFLAGS: 00010297<br /> RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffffffc061f0b6 RCX: 0000000000000000<br /> RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff962fd0de RDI: ffffffff962fd0de<br /> RBP: ffffb25bc2e57ea8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000<br /> R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 0000000000000000<br /> R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 000000000000000a R15: 00000000001c1dbe<br /> FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff921fa2200000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000<br /> CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033<br /> CR2: ffffffffc0601a5d CR3: 000000011de4c006 CR4: 0000000000370ee0<br /> DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000<br /> DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400<br /> Call Trace:<br /> <br /> ? kvfree_call_rcu+0xf0/0x3a0<br /> ? kthread+0xf3/0x120<br /> ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20<br /> ? ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30<br /> <br /> Modules linked in: rfkill sunrpc ...
