commit f3277cbfba763cd2826396521b9296de67cf1bbc upstream. When releasing a thread todo list when tearing down a binder_proc, the following race was possible which could result in a use-after-free: 1. Thread 1: enter binder_release_work from binder_thread_release 2. Thread 2: binder_update_ref_for_handle() -> binder_dec_node_ilocked() 3. Thread 2: dec nodeA --> 0 (will free node) 4. Thread 1: ACQ inner_proc_lock 5. Thread 2: block on inner_proc_lock 6. Thread 1: dequeue work (BINDER_WORK_NODE, part of nodeA) 7. Thread 1: REL inner_proc_lock 8. Thread 2: ACQ inner_proc_lock 9. Thread 2: todo list cleanup, but work was already dequeued 10. Thread 2: free node 11. Thread 2: REL inner_proc_lock 12. Thread 1: deref w->type (UAF) The problem was that for a BINDER_WORK_NODE, the binder_work element must not be accessed after releasing the inner_proc_lock while processing the todo list elements since another thread might be handling a deref on the node containing the binder_work element leading to the node being freed.

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.
