From adcfbb2d9e386517db84ac56fa3e4abd56db75b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 13:00:36 +0200 Subject: audit: Fix use after free in audit_remove_watch_rule() commit d76036ab47eafa6ce52b69482e91ca3ba337d6d6 upstream. audit_remove_watch_rule() drops watch's reference to parent but then continues to work with it. That is not safe as parent can get freed once we drop our reference. The following is a trivial reproducer: mount -o loop image /mnt touch /mnt/file auditctl -w /mnt/file -p wax umount /mnt auditctl -D Grab our own reference in audit_remove_watch_rule() earlier to make sure mark does not get freed under us.
