Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/core: Disable page allocation in task_tick_mm_cid() With KASAN and PREEMPT_RT enabled, calling task_work_add() in task_tick_mm_cid() may cause the following splat. [ 63.696416] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48 [ 63.696416] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 610, name: modprobe [ 63.696416] preempt_count: 10001, expected: 0 [ 63.696416] RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 1 This problem is caused by the following call trace. sched_tick() [ acquire rq->__lock ] -> task_tick_mm_cid() -> task_work_add() -> __kasan_record_aux_stack() -> kasan_save_stack() -> stack_depot_save_flags() -> alloc_pages_mpol_noprof() -> __alloc_pages_noprof() -> get_page_from_freelist() -> rmqueue() -> rmqueue_pcplist() -> __rmqueue_pcplist() -> rmqueue_bulk() -> rt_spin_lock() The rq lock is a raw_spinlock_t. We can't sleep while holding it. IOW, we can't call alloc_pages() in stack_depot_save_flags(). The task_tick_mm_cid() function with its task_work_add() call was introduced by commit 223baf9d17f2 ("sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid") in v6.4 kernel. Fortunately, there is a kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() variant that calls stack_depot_save_flags() while not allowing it to allocate new pages. To allow task_tick_mm_cid() to use task_work without page allocation, a new TWAF_NO_ALLOC flag is added to enable calling kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() instead of kasan_record_aux_stack() if set. The task_tick_mm_cid() function is modified to add this new flag. The possible downside is the missing stack trace in a KASAN report due to new page allocation required when task_work_add_noallloc() is called which should be rare.

Para permitir que task_tick_mm_cid() use task_work sin asignaci\u00f3n de p\u00e1ginas, se agrega un nuevo indicador TWAF_NO_ALLOC para habilitar la llamada a kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() en lugar de kasan_record_aux_stack() si est\u00e1 configurado. La funci\u00f3n task_tick_mm_cid() se modifica para agregar este nuevo indicador. La posible desventaja es la falta de seguimiento de pila en un informe KASAN debido a la nueva asignaci\u00f3n de p\u00e1gina requerida cuando se llama a task_work_add_noallloc(), lo que deber\u00eda ser poco com\u00fan.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H\",\"baseScore\":5.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":3.6},{\"source\":\"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H\",\"baseScore\":5.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":3.6}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"NVD-CWE-noinfo\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.4\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.6.59\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"F0663E1D-0BCE-4D24-BFE4-F9C52687DD40\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.7\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.11.6\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"E4486B12-007B-4794-9857-F07145637AA1\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.12:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"7F361E1D-580F-4A2D-A509-7615F73167A1\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.12:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"925478D0-3E3D-4E6F-ACD5-09F28D5DF82C\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.12:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"3C95E234-D335-4B6C-96BF-E2CEBD8654ED\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/509c29d0d26f68a6f6d0a05cb1a89725237e2b87\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/73ab05aa46b02d96509cb029a8d04fca7bbde8c7\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ce0241ef83eed55f675376e8a3605d23de53d875\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]}]}}",
