[PATCH v3] nfp: fix use-after-free in area_cache_get()

From: Jialiang Wang
Date: Wed Aug 10 2022 - 03:35:53 EST


area_cache_get() is used to distribute cache->area and set cache->id,
and if cache->id is not 0 and cache->area->kref refcount is 0, it will
release the cache->area by nfp_cpp_area_release(). area_cache_get()
set cache->id before cpp->op->area_init() and nfp_cpp_area_acquire().

But if area_init() or nfp_cpp_area_acquire() fails, the cache->id is
is already set but the refcount is not increased as expected. At this
time, calling the nfp_cpp_area_release() will cause use-after-free.

To avoid the use-after-free, set cache->id after area_init() and
nfp_cpp_area_acquire() complete successfully.

Note: This vulnerability is triggerable by providing emulated device
equipped with specified configuration.
