Subject: CVE-2024-46785: eventfs: Use list_del_rcu() for SRCU protected list variable

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email-masked]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

eventfs: Use list_del_rcu() for SRCU protected list variable

Chi Zhiling reported:

  We found a null pointer accessing in tracefs[1], the reason is that the
  variable 'ei_child' is set to LIST_POISON1, that means the list was
  removed in eventfs_remove_rec. so when access the ei_child->is_freed, the
  panic triggered.

  by the way, the following script can reproduce this panic

  loop1 (){
      while true
      do
          echo "p:kp submit_bio" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
          echo "" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
      done
  }
  loop2 (){
      while true
      do
          tree /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/
      done
  }
  loop1 &
  loop2

The issue is that list_del() is used on an SRCU protected list variable
before the synchronization occurs. This can poison the list pointers while
there is a reader iterating the list.

This is simply fixed by using list_del_rcu() that is specifically made for
this purpose.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-46785 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
