Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
raid1: fix use-after-free for original bio in raid1_write_request()<br />
<br />
r1_bio->bios[] is used to record new bios that will be issued to<br />
underlying disks, however, in raid1_write_request(), r1_bio->bios[]<br />
will set to the original bio temporarily. Meanwhile, if blocked rdev<br />
is set, free_r1bio() will be called causing that all r1_bio->bios[]<br />
to be freed:<br />
<br />
raid1_write_request()<br />
r1_bio = alloc_r1bio(mddev, bio); -> r1_bio->bios[] is NULL<br />
for (i = 0; i for each rdev in conf<br />
// first rdev is normal<br />
r1_bio->bios[0] = bio; -> set to original bio<br />
// second rdev is blocked<br />
if (test_bit(Blocked, &rdev->flags))<br />
break<br />
<br />
if (blocked_rdev)<br />
free_r1bio()<br />
put_all_bios()<br />
bio_put(r1_bio->bios[0]) -> original bio is freed<br />
<br />
Test scripts:<br />
<br />
mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l1 -n4 /dev/sd[abcd] --assume-clean<br />
fio -filename=/dev/md0 -ioengine=libaio -rw=write -bs=4k -numjobs=1 \<br />
-iodepth=128 -name=test -direct=1<br />
echo blocked > /sys/block/md0/md/rd2/state<br />
<br />
Test result:<br />
<br />

Since that bios for underlying disks are not allocated yet, fix this<br />
problem by using mempool_free() directly to free the r1_bio.
