Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: binder: fix yet another UAF in binder_devices Commit e77aff5528a18 ("binderfs: fix use-after-free in binder_devices") addressed a use-after-free where devices could be released without first being removed from the binder_devices list. However, there is a similar path in binder_free_proc() that was missed: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in binder_remove_device+0xd4/0x100 Write of size 8 at addr ffff0000c773b900 by task umount/467 CPU: 12 UID: 0 PID: 467 Comm: umount Not tainted 6.15.0-rc7-00138-g57483a362741 #9 PREEMPT Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) Call trace: binder_remove_device+0xd4/0x100 binderfs_evict_inode+0x230/0x2f0 evict+0x25c/0x5dc iput+0x304/0x480 dentry_unlink_inode+0x208/0x46c __dentry_kill+0x154/0x530 [...] Allocated by task 463: __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x13c/0x324 binderfs_binder_device_create.isra.0+0x138/0xa60 binder_ctl_ioctl+0x1ac/0x230 [...] Freed by task 215: kfree+0x184/0x31c binder_proc_dec_tmpref+0x33c/0x4ac binder_deferred_func+0xc10/0x1108 process_one_work+0x520/0xba4 [...] ================================================================== Call binder_remove_device() within binder_free_proc() to ensure the device is removed from the binder_devices list before being kfreed.
