Vulnerability: In the Linux kernel before 4.20.5, attackers can trigger a drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c use-after-free and OOPS by arranging for certain simultaneous execution of the code, as demonstrated by a "service ipmievd restart" loop.
Vulnerability ID: CVE-2019-9003
CWE: CWE-416
Severity score: 6.9
Project: https://github.com/torvalds/linux
Published: 2019-02-22
File: drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c
Commit message: ipmi: fix use-after-free of user->release_barrier.rda

When we do the following test, we got oops in ipmi_msghandler driver
while((1))
do
	service ipmievd restart & service ipmievd restart
done

Because the user->release_barrier.rda is freed in ipmi_destroy_user(), but
the refcount is not zero, when acquire_ipmi_user() uses user->release_barrier.rda
in __srcu_read_lock(), it causes oops.
Fix this by calling cleanup_srcu_struct() when the refcount is zero.
