Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: fix random stack corruption after get_block
When get_block is called with a buffer_head allocated on the stack, such
as do_mpage_readpage, stack corruption due to buffer_head UAF may occur in
the following race condition situation.
<CPU 0> <CPU 1>
mpage_read_folio
<<bh on stack>>
do_mpage_readpage
exfat_get_block
bh_read
__bh_read
get_bh(bh)
submit_bh
wait_on_buffer
...
end_buffer_read_sync
__end_buffer_read_notouch
unlock_buffer
<<keep going>>
...
...
...
...
<<bh is not valid out of mpage_read_folio>>
.
.
another_function
<<variable A on stack>>
put_bh(bh)
atomic_dec(bh->b_count)
* stack corruption here *
This patch returns -EAGAIN if a folio does not have buffers when bh_read
needs to be called. By doing this, the caller can fallback to functions
like block_read_full_folio(), create a buffer_head in the folio, and then
call get_block again.
Let's do not call bh_read() with on-stack buffer_head.

CWE-362
Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
The product contains a code sequence that can run concurrently with other code, and the code sequence requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence that is operating concurrently.
CWE-416
Use After Free
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
