In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tmpfs: fix race on handling dquot rbtree

A syzkaller reproducer found a race while attempting to remove dquot
information from the rb tree.

Fetching the rb_tree root node must also be protected by the
dqopt->dqio_sem, otherwise, giving the right timing, shmem_release_dquot()
will trigger a warning because it couldn't find a node in the tree, when
the real reason was the root node changing before the search starts:

Thread 1 Thread 2
- shmem_release_dquot() - shmem_{acquire,release}_dquot()

  • fetch ROOT - Fetch ROOT

                - acquire dqio_sem
    
  • wait dqio_sem

                - do something, triger a tree rebalance
                - release dqio_sem
    
  • acquire dqio_sem

  • start searching for the node, but
    from the wrong location, missing
    the node, and triggering a warning.
