Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: policy_int make sure list heads are initialized before fail path If profile create fails before policy_init is complete the list heads are not properly initialized causing profile_free() sanity checks to trigger the following splat. AppArmor WARN aa_policy_destroy: (((!list_empty(&policy->profiles) && (&policy->profiles)->prev != ((void *) 0x122 + (0xdead000000000000UL))))): WARNING: security/apparmor/lib.c:509 at aa_policy_destroy+0x164/0x1b0 security/apparmor/lib.c:509, CPU#0: syz.0.17/5541 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 5541 Comm: syz.0.17 Not tainted syzkaller #0 PREEMPT(full) Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:aa_policy_destroy+0x16b/0x1b0 security/apparmor/lib.c:509 Code: 85 ed 7e 4d e8 96 bc 37 fd 5b 41 5c 41 5e 41 5f 5d e9 19 27 4e 07 cc e8 83 bc 37 fd 48 8d 3d 0c f0 d3 0b 48 c7 c6 a4 eb 38 8e <67> 48 0f b9 3a e9 04 ff ff ff e8 66 bc 37 fd 48 8d 3d ff ef d3 0b RSP: 0018:ffffc9000345eaa0 EFLAGS: 00010293 RAX: ffffffff848f530d RBX: ffff88803f734800 RCX: ffff88801af2a580 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff8e38eba4 RDI: ffffffff90634320 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000cc0 R09: 00000000ffffffff R10: dffffc0000000000 R11: fffffbfff1d95913 R12: dead000000000122 R13: ffff88803f734800 R14: ffff88803f734828 R15: dffffc0000000000 FS: 00007f5f6a1836c0(0000) GS:ffff88808c519000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 000055d02407b048 CR3: 0000000012aa9000 CR4: 0000000000352ef0 Call Trace: <TASK> aa_free_profile+0x9d/0x9f0 security/apparmor/policy.c:334 aa_alloc_profile+0x1e4/0x3e0 security/apparmor/policy.c:416 unpack_profile security/apparmor/policy_unpack.c:1153 [inline] aa_unpack+0x17db/0x7430 security/apparmor/policy_unpack.c:1748 aa_replace_profiles+0x226/0x2a20 security/apparmor/policy.c:1183 policy_update+0x234/0x4a0 security/apparmor/apparmorfs.c:505 profile_load+0x1cb/0x320 security/apparmor/apparmorfs.c:522 vfs_write+0x296/0xba0 fs/read_write.c:685 ksys_write+0x150/0x270 fs/read_write.c:739 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:61 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x166/0x520 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:84 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f RIP: 0033:0x7f5f6939e0d9 Code: ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 89 f8 48 89 f7 48 89 d6 48 89 ca 4d 89 c2 4d 89 c8 4c 8b 4c 24 08 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 c7 c1 e8 ff ff ff f7 d8 64 89 01 48 RSP: 002b:00007f5f6a183028 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000001 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007f5f69625fa0 RCX: 00007f5f6939e0d9 RDX: 0000000000000041 RSI: 0000200000000400 RDI: 0000000000000003 RBP: 00007f5f6a183090 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000001 R13: 00007f5f69626038 R14: 00007f5f69625fa0 R15: 00007ffe23725c18
