On a swapless host every ctrl->map\nis NULL, so __swap_cgroup_id_lookup() dereferences NULL + a scaled\nswp_offset().\n\nSince commit bea67dcc5eea (\"mm: attempt to batch free swap entries for\nzap_pte_range()\"), zap_pte_range() -> swap_pte_batch() calls\nlookup_swap_cgroup_id() on any non-present, non-none PTE that decodes as a\nreal swap entry, without first validating it against swap_info[]. A\nsingle PTE corrupted into a type-0 swap entry takes the host down at\nprocess exit.\n\nWe hit this in production on a swapless 6.12.58 host: ~1s of\n\"get_swap_device: Bad swap file entry 3f800204222bb\" (do_swap_page() being\ncorrectly defensive about the same entry) followed by\n\n BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 000003f800204220\n RIP: 0010:lookup_swap_cgroup_id+0x2b/0x60\n Call Trace:\n swap_pte_batch+0xbf/0x230\n zap_pte_range+0x4c8/0x780\n unmap_page_range+0x190/0x3e0\n exit_mmap+0xd9/0x3c0\n do_exit+0x20c/0x4b0\n\nsyzbot has reported the identical stack.\n\nThe source of the PTE corruption is a separate bug; this change makes the\nteardown path as robust as the fault path already is. Every other caller\nof lookup_swap_cgroup_id() is downstream of a get_swap_device() that has\nalready validated the entry, so the new branch is cold."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["mm/swap_cgroup.c"], "versions": [{"version": "bea67dcc5eea0f6a213897a59b9e644977cd07e6", "lessThan": "818416fef38759f23210de449663cd9d7e293d39", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "bea67dcc5eea0f6a213897a59b9e644977cd07e6", "lessThan": "b415c00bf23df577a4a95673d00ae76687bcc1d4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "bea67dcc5eea0f6a213897a59b9e644977cd07e6", "lessThan": "6a4196d19f477524d2f92adca90fc1fbe9a0420a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "bea67dcc5eea0f6a213897a59b9e644977cd07e6", "lessThan": "63b02a9409cb5180398491b093e48bcb5315f5fb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["mm/swap_cgroup.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.12", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.97", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.39", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2-rc1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.97"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.39"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/818416fef38759f23210de449663cd9d7e293d39"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b415c00bf23df577a4a95673d00ae76687bcc1d4"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a4196d19f477524d2f92adca90fc1fbe9a0420a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/63b02a9409cb5180398491b093e48bcb5315f5fb"}], "title": "mm: swap_cgroup: fix NULL deref in lookup_swap_cgroup_id on swapless host", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
