In alloc_inode, inode_init_always() could return -ENOMEM if security_inode_alloc() fails, which causes inode->i_private uninitialized. Then nilfs_is_metadata_file_inode() returns true and nilfs_free_inode() wrongly calls nilfs_mdt_destroy(), which frees the uninitialized inode->i_private and leads to crashes(e.g., UAF/GPF). Fix this by moving security_inode_alloc just prior to this_cpu_inc(nr_inodes) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAFcO6XOcf1Jj2SeGt=jJV59wmhESeSKpfR0omdFRq+J9nD1vfQ@mail.gmail.com Reported-by: butt3rflyh4ck <butterflyhuangxx@gmail.com> Reported-by: Hao Sun <sunhao.th@gmail.com> Reported-by: Jiacheng Xu <stitch@zju.edu.cn> Reviewed-by: Christian Brauner (Microsoft) <brauner@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Dongliang Mu <mudongliangabcd@gmail.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
