From cf3196e5e2f36cd80dab91ffae402e13935724bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiaxi Shen Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2024 21:33:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix timer use-after-free on failed mount commit 0ce160c5bdb67081a62293028dc85758a8efb22a upstream. Syzbot has found an ODEBUG bug in ext4_fill_super The del_timer_sync function cancels the s_err_report timer, which reminds about filesystem errors daily. We should guarantee the timer is no longer active before kfree(sbi). When filesystem mounting fails, the flow goes to failed_mount3, where an error occurs when ext4_stop_mmpd is called, causing a read I/O failure. This triggers the ext4_handle_error function that ultimately re-arms the timer, leaving the s_err_report timer active before kfree(sbi) is called. Fix the issue by canceling the s_err_report timer after calling ext4_stop_mmpd.
