From d857054b1160cdc83ad0c3dc4db406dbabcf125b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Ryabinin Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 19:09:30 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] mm: rmap: fix use-after-free in __put_anon_vma commit 624483f3ea82598ab0f62f1bdb9177f531ab1892 upstream. While working address sanitizer for kernel I've discovered use-after-free bug in __put_anon_vma. For the last anon_vma, anon_vma->root freed before child anon_vma. Later in anon_vma_free(anon_vma) we are referencing to already freed anon_vma->root to check rwsem. This fixes it by freeing the child anon_vma before freeing anon_vma->root.
