![]() [ Upstream commit 11e7f27b79757b6586645d87b95d5b78375ecdfc ] There is a pid leakage: ------------------------------ unreferenced object 0xffff88810c181940 (size 224): comm "sshd", pid 8191, jiffies 4294946950 (age 524.570s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de .............N.. ff ff ff ff 6b 6b 6b 6b ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ....kkkk........ backtrace: [<ffffffff814774e6>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x5c6/0x9b0 [<ffffffff81177342>] alloc_pid+0x72/0x570 [<ffffffff81140ac4>] copy_process+0x1374/0x2470 [<ffffffff81141d77>] kernel_clone+0xb7/0x900 [<ffffffff81142645>] __se_sys_clone+0x85/0xb0 [<ffffffff8114269b>] __x64_sys_clone+0x2b/0x30 [<ffffffff83965a72>] do_syscall_64+0x32/0x80 [<ffffffff83a00085>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x61/0xc6 It turns out that there is a race condition between disassociate_ctty() and tty_signal_session_leader(), which caused this leakage. The pid memleak is triggered by the following race: task[sshd] task[bash] ----------------------- ----------------------- disassociate_ctty(); spin_lock_irq(¤t->sighand->siglock); put_pid(current->signal->tty_old_pgrp); current->signal->tty_old_pgrp = NULL; tty = tty_kref_get(current->signal->tty); spin_unlock_irq(¤t->sighand->siglock); tty_vhangup(); tty_lock(tty); ... tty_signal_session_leader(); spin_lock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock); ... if (tty->ctrl.pgrp) //tty->ctrl.pgrp is not NULL p->signal->tty_old_pgrp = get_pid(tty->ctrl.pgrp); //An extra get spin_unlock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock); ... tty_unlock(tty); if (tty) { tty_lock(tty); ... put_pid(tty->ctrl.pgrp); tty->ctrl.pgrp = NULL; //It's too late ... tty_unlock(tty); } The issue is believed to be introduced by commit |

README
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.
