Title
pstore: inode: Only d_invalidate() is needed
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pstore: inode: Only d_invalidate() is needed Unloading a modular pstore backend with records in pstorefs would trigger the dput() double-drop warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2569 at fs/dcache.c:762 dput.part.0+0x3f3/0x410 Using the combo of d_drop()/dput() (as mentioned in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.rst) isn't the right approach here, and leads to the reference counting problem seen above. Use d_invalidate() and update the code to not bother checking for error codes that can never happen. ---

No network or adjacent-network path exists.\nAC:L - The double-drop is deterministic, not a race: every record belonging to the unregistering backend takes the buggy path unconditionally, and keeping a record file open across teardown is fully under the attacker\u0027s control. No unpredictable memory layout or victim state is required to reach the underflow.\nPR:L - Consistent with this repo\u0027s scoring of driver-removal/rmmod-triggered UAFs, a local unprivileged process supplies the decisive half of the exploit \u2014 holding the fd, then driving slab reclaim of the freed pstore_private/dentry and consuming the primitives via read()/close(); backend unregistration also occurs on non-rmmod paths such as mtdpstore_notify_remove() and platform-driver removal during normal system operation.\nUI:N - No victim action is needed \u2014 the attacker performs the file open, the backend teardown, and the subsequent read()/close() that dereference the freed objects. Nothing requires a second user to interact with the system.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel dcache and slab objects within the same kernel security authority; there is no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed. This is standard in-kernel memory corruption.\nC:H - The premature dentry kill evicts the inode and frees pstore_private/pstore_record/record-\u003ebuf while an open file still points at them via seq_file-\u003eprivate, so pstore_file_read() calls simple_read_from_buffer() with a freed, reclaimable source pointer and length \u2014 a controllable arbitrary kernel-memory read into userspace.\nI:H - The dentry refcount underflow frees the dentry while a file descriptor still holds it, so the later fput()/path_put()/dput() performs lockref decrements and d_child/d_subdirs list manipulation on reclaimed slab memory, yielding a write primitive suitable for heap-spray exploitation.\nA:H - At minimum the bug triggers WARNING at fs/dcache.c:762, which is fatal on the panic_on_warn configurations common in Android, hardened, and cloud kernels; with an open record file it produces a genuine dcache/slab use-after-free that reliably oopses or panics the kernel."

No network or adjacent-network path exists.\nAC:L - The double-drop is deterministic, not a race: every record belonging to the unregistering backend takes the buggy path unconditionally, and keeping a record file open across teardown is fully under the attacker\u0027s control. No unpredictable memory layout or victim state is required to reach the underflow.\nPR:L - Consistent with this repo\u0027s scoring of driver-removal/rmmod-triggered UAFs, a local unprivileged process supplies the decisive half of the exploit \u2014 holding the fd, then driving slab reclaim of the freed pstore_private/dentry and consuming the primitives via read()/close(); backend unregistration also occurs on non-rmmod paths such as mtdpstore_notify_remove() and platform-driver removal during normal system operation.\nUI:N - No victim action is needed \u2014 the attacker performs the file open, the backend teardown, and the subsequent read()/close() that dereference the freed objects. Nothing requires a second user to interact with the system.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel dcache and slab objects within the same kernel security authority; there is no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed. This is standard in-kernel memory corruption.\nC:H - The premature dentry kill evicts the inode and frees pstore_private/pstore_record/record-\u003ebuf while an open file still points at them via seq_file-\u003eprivate, so pstore_file_read() calls simple_read_from_buffer() with a freed, reclaimable source pointer and length \u2014 a controllable arbitrary kernel-memory read into userspace.\nI:H - The dentry refcount underflow frees the dentry while a file descriptor still holds it, so the later fput()/path_put()/dput() performs lockref decrements and d_child/d_subdirs list manipulation on reclaimed slab memory, yielding a write primitive suitable for heap-spray exploitation.\nA:H - At minimum the bug triggers WARNING at fs/dcache.c:762, which is fatal on the panic_on_warn configurations common in Android, hardened, and cloud kernels; with an open record file it produces a genuine dcache/slab use-after-free that reliably oopses or panics the kernel."
