Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: core: Fix iSCSI ISID use-after-free in REGISTER AND MOVE
core_scsi3_emulate_pro_register_and_move() maps the PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT
parameter list with transport_kmap_data_sg() and parses the destination
TransportID with target_parse_pr_out_transport_id(). For an iSCSI
TransportID (FORMAT CODE 01b), iscsi_parse_pr_out_transport_id() returns
the ISID in iport_ptr as a raw pointer into that mapped buffer.
The function then unmaps the buffer with transport_kunmap_data_sg() before
dereferencing iport_ptr in strcmp(), __core_scsi3_locate_pr_reg() and
core_scsi3_alloc_registration(). When the parameter list spans more than
one page (PARAMETER LIST LENGTH > 4096), transport_kmap_data_sg() uses
vmap() and transport_kunmap_data_sg() does vunmap(), so the kernel virtual
address backing iport_ptr is torn down and every subsequent dereference is
a use-after-free read of the unmapped region.
Keep the parameter list mapped until iport_ptr is no longer needed: drop
the early transport_kunmap_data_sg() and unmap once on the success path,
right before returning. The error paths already unmap through the existing
"if (buf) transport_kunmap_data_sg(cmd)" at the out: label, which now runs
on every post-map error exit because buf is no longer cleared early. Only
reads of the mapping happen while spinlocks are held; the map and unmap
calls remain outside any lock. The sibling caller
core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port() already uses the buffer before unmapping it
and is left unchanged.
