Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mm/slub: Avoid list corruption when removing a slab from the full list<br />
<br />
Boot with slub_debug=UFPZ.<br />
<br />
If allocated object failed in alloc_consistency_checks, all objects of<br />
the slab will be marked as used, and then the slab will be removed from<br />
the partial list.<br />
<br />
When an object belonging to the slab got freed later, the remove_full()<br />
function is called. Because the slab is neither on the partial list nor<br />
on the full list, it eventually lead to a list corruption (actually a<br />
list poison being detected).<br />
<br />
So we need to mark and isolate the slab page with metadata corruption,<br />
do not put it back in circulation.<br />
<br />
Because the debug caches avoid all the fastpaths, reusing the frozen bit<br />
to mark slab page with metadata corruption seems to be fine.<br />
