In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rust_binder: fix race condition on death_list Rust Binder contains the following unsafe operation: // SAFETY: A is never inserted into the death list // of any node other than its owner, so it is either in this // death list or in no death list. unsafe { node_inner.death_list.remove(self) }; This operation is unsafe because when touching the prev/next pointers of a list element, we have to ensure that no other thread is also touching them in parallel. If the node is present in the list that is called on, then that is fine because we have exclusive access to that list. If the node is not in any list, then it's also ok. But if it's present in a different list that may be accessed in parallel, then that may be a data race on the prev/next pointers. And unfortunately that is exactly what is happening here. In Node::release, we: 1. Take the lock. 2. Move all items to a local list on the stack. 3. Drop the lock. 4. Iterate the local list on the stack. Combined with threads using the unsafe remove method on the original list, this leads to memory corruption of the prev/next pointers. This leads to crashes like this one: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000bb9841bcac70e Mem abort info: ESR = 0x0000000096000044 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000044, ISS2 = 0x00000000 CM = 0, WnR = 1, TnD = 0, TagAccess = 0 GCS = 0, Overlay = 0, DirtyBit = 0, Xs = 0 [000bb9841bcac70e] address between user and kernel address ranges Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000044 [#1] PREEMPT SMP google-cdd 538c004.gcdd: context saved(CPU:1) item - log_kevents is disabled Modules linked in: ... rust_binder CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 2092 Comm: kworker/1:178 Tainted: G S W OE 6.12.52-android16-5-g98debd5df505-4k #1 f94a6367396c5488d635708e43ee0c888d230b0b Tainted: [S]=CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC, [W]=WARN, [O]=OOT
