vfio/mdev: Fix a null-ptr-deref bug for mdev_unregister_parent()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vfio/mdev: Fix a null-ptr-deref bug for mdev_unregister_parent() Inject fault while probing mdpy.ko, if kstrdup() of create_dir() fails in kobject_add_internal() in kobject_init_and_add() in mdev_type_add() in parent_create_sysfs_files(), it will return 0 and probe successfully. And when rmmod mdpy.ko, the mdpy_dev_exit() will call mdev_unregister_parent(), the mdev_type_remove() may traverse uninitialized parent->types[i] in parent_remove_sysfs_files(), and it will cause below null-ptr-deref. If mdev_type_add() fails, return the error code and kset_unregister() to fix the issue. general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000002: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017] CPU: 2 PID: 10215 Comm: rmmod Tainted: G W N 6.6.0-rc2+ #20 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:__kobject_del+0x62/0x1c0 Code: 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 51 01 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 48 8b 6b 28 48 8d 7d 10 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 24 01 00 00 48 8b 75 10 48 89 df 48 8d 6b 3c e8 RSP: 0018:ffff88810695fd30 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffffffffa0270268 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000002 RSI: 0000000000000004 RDI: 0000000000000010 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: ffffed10233a4ef1 R10: ffff888119d2778b R11: 0000000063666572 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: fffffbfff404e2d4 R14: dffffc0000000000 R15: ffffffffa0271660 FS: 00007fbc81981540(0000) GS:ffff888119d00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007fc14a142dc0 CR3: 0000000110a62003 CR4: 0000000000770ee0 DR0: ffffffff8fb0bce8 DR1: ffffffff8fb0bce9 DR2: ffffffff8fb0bcea DR3: ffffffff8fb0bceb DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000600 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: ? die_addr+0x3d/0xa0 ? exc_general_protection+0x144/0x220 ? asm_exc_general_protection+0x22/0x30 ? __kobject_del+0x62/0x1c0 kobject_del+0x32/0x50 parent_remove_sysfs_files+0xd6/0x170 [mdev] mdev_unregister_parent+0xfb/0x190 [mdev] ? mdev_register_parent+0x270/0x270 [mdev] ? find_module_all+0x9d/0xe0 mdpy_dev_exit+0x17/0x63 [mdpy] __do_sys_delete_module.constprop.0+0x2fa/0x4b0 ? module_flags+0x300/0x300 ? __fput+0x4e7/0xa00 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 RIP: 0033:0x7fbc813221b7 Code: 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d d1 8c 2c 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 83 c8 ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 b8 b0 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d a1 8c 2c 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 RSP: 002b:00007ffe780e0648 EFLAGS: 00000206 ORIG_RAX: 00000000000000b0 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007ffe780e06a8 RCX: 00007fbc813221b7 RDX: 000000000000000a RSI: 0000000000000800 RDI: 000055e214df9b58 RBP: 000055e214df9af0 R08: 00007ffe780df5c1 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 00007fbc8139ecc0 R11: 0000000000000206 R12: 00007ffe780e0870 R13: 00007ffe780e0ed0 R14: 000055e214df9260 R15: 000055e214df9af0 Modules linked in: mdpy(-) mdev vfio_iommu_type1 vfio [last unloaded: mdpy] Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- RIP: 0010:__kobject_del+0x62/0x1c0 Code: 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 51 01 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 48 8b 6b 28 48 8d 7d 10 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 24 01 00 00 48 8b 75 10 48 89 df 48 8d 6b 3c e8 RSP: 0018:ffff88810695fd30 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffffffffa0270268 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000002 RSI: 0000000000000004 RDI: 0000000000000010 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: ffffed10233a4ef1 R10: ffff888119d2778b R11: 0000000063666572 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: fffffbfff404e2d4 R14: dffffc0000000000 R15: ffffffffa0271660 FS: 00007fbc81981540(0000) GS:ffff888119d00000(000 ---truncated---

Base: Exploitabilty Metrics

The Exploitability metrics reflect the characteristics of the thing that is vulnerable, which we refer to formally as the vulnerable component.

Attack Vector

This metric reflects the context by which vulnerability exploitation is possible.

Local

The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities.

Attack Complexity

This metric describes the conditions beyond the attacker’s control that must exist in order to exploit the vulnerability.

Low

Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success when attacking the vulnerable component.

Privileges Required

This metric describes the level of privileges an attacker must possess before successfully exploiting the vulnerability.

Low

The attacker requires privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.

User Interaction

This metric captures the requirement for a human user, other than the attacker, to participate in the successful compromise of the vulnerable component.

None

The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any user.

Base: Scope Metrics

The Scope metric captures whether a vulnerability in one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.

Scope

Formally, a security authority is a mechanism (e.g., an application, an operating system, firmware, a sandbox environment) that defines and enforces access control in terms of how certain subjects/actors (e.g., human users, processes) can access certain restricted objects/resources (e.g., files, CPU, memory) in a controlled manner. All the subjects and objects under the jurisdiction of a single security authority are considered to be under one security scope. If a vulnerability in a vulnerable component can affect a component which is in a different security scope than the vulnerable component, a Scope change occurs. Intuitively, whenever the impact of a vulnerability breaches a security/trust boundary and impacts components outside the security scope in which vulnerable component resides, a Scope change occurs.

Unchanged

An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.

Base: Impact Metrics

The Impact metrics capture the effects of a successfully exploited vulnerability on the component that suffers the worst outcome that is most directly and predictably associated with the attack. Analysts should constrain impacts to a reasonable, final outcome which they are confident an attacker is able to achieve.

Confidentiality Impact

This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information resources managed by a software component due to a successfully exploited vulnerability.

None

There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.

Integrity Impact

This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information.

None

There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.

Availability Impact

This metric measures the impact to the availability of the impacted component resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability.

High

There is a total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Temporal Metrics

The Temporal metrics measure the current state of exploit techniques or code availability, the existence of any patches or workarounds, or the confidence in the description of a vulnerability.

Environmental Metrics

These metrics enable the analyst to customize the CVSS score depending on the importance of the affected IT asset to a user’s organization, measured in terms of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.
