[PATCH] binder: fix proc->files use-after-free

Todd Kjos tkjos at android.com
Wed Nov 15 01:06:29 UTC 2017


proc->files cleanup is initiated by binder_vma_close. Therefore
a reference on the binder_proc is not enough to prevent the
files_struct from being released while the binder_proc still has
a reference. This can lead to an attempt to dereference the
stale pointer obtained from proc->files prior to proc->files
cleanup. This has been seen once in task_get_unused_fd_flags()
when __alloc_fd() is called with a stale "files".

The fix is to always use get_files_struct() to obtain struct_files
so that the refcount on the files_struct is used to prevent
a premature free. proc->files is removed since we get it every
time.
