From 362b47fe09ca9a928d444c7e2f7992f7f61bfc3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Kuvyrkov Date: Tue, 24 Dec 2013 09:44:50 +1300 Subject: [PATCH] Fix race in free() of fastbin chunk: BZ #15073 Perform sanity check only if we have_lock. Due to lockless nature of fastbins we need to be careful derefencing pointers to fastbin entries (chunksize(old) in this case) in multithreaded environments. The fix is to add have_lock to the if-condition checks. The rest of the patch only makes code more readable. * malloc/malloc.c (_int_free): Perform sanity check only if we have_lock. --- ChangeLog | 7 +++++++ NEWS | 22 +++++++++++----------- malloc/malloc.c | 20 ++++++++++++-------- 3 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 667b3f1..f3ead2e 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +2013-12-24 Maxim Kuvyrkov + Ondřej Bílka + + [BZ #15073] + * malloc/malloc.c (_int_free): Perform sanity check only if we + have_lock. + 2013-12-23 Ondřej Bílka [BZ #12986] diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 5c76adc..90e6c65 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -12,17 +12,17 @@ Version 2.19 156, 387, 431, 832, 926, 2801, 4772, 6786, 6787, 6807, 6810, 7003, 9954, 10253, 10278, 11087, 11157, 11214, 12100, 12486, 12986, 13028, 13982, 13985, 14029, 14032, 14120, 14143, 14155, 14547, 14699, 14752, 14876, - 14910, 15004, 15048, 15089, 15128, 15218, 15268, 15277, 15308, 15362, - 15374, 15400, 15425, 15427, 15483, 15522, 15531, 15532, 15593, 15601, - 15608, 15609, 15610, 15632, 15640, 15670, 15672, 15680, 15681, 15723, - 15734, 15735, 15736, 15748, 15749, 15754, 15760, 15763, 15764, 15797, - 15799, 15825, 15843, 15844, 15846, 15847, 15849, 15855, 15856, 15857, - 15859, 15867, 15886, 15887, 15890, 15892, 15893, 15895, 15897, 15901, - 15905, 15909, 15915, 15917, 15919, 15921, 15923, 15939, 15941, 15948, - 15963, 15966, 15985, 15988, 15997, 16032, 16034, 16036, 16037, 16038, - 16041, 16055, 16071, 16072, 16074, 16077, 16078, 16103, 16112, 16143, - 16144, 16146, 16150, 16151, 16153, 16167, 16172, 16195, 16214, 16245, - 16356. + 14910, 15004, 15048, 15073, 15089, 15128, 15218, 15268, 15277, 15308, + 15362, 15374, 15400, 15425, 15427, 15483, 15522, 15531, 15532, 15593, + 15601, 15608, 15609, 15610, 15632, 15640, 15670, 15672, 15680, 15681, + 15723, 15734, 15735, 15736, 15748, 15749, 15754, 15760, 15763, 15764, + 15797, 15799, 15825, 15843, 15844, 15846, 15847, 15849, 15855, 15856, + 15857, 15859, 15867, 15886, 15887, 15890, 15892, 15893, 15895, 15897, + 15901, 15905, 15909, 15915, 15917, 15919, 15921, 15923, 15939, 15941, + 15948, 15963, 15966, 15985, 15988, 15997, 16032, 16034, 16036, 16037, + 16038, 16041, 16055, 16071, 16072, 16074, 16077, 16078, 16103, 16112, + 16143, 16144, 16146, 16150, 16151, 16153, 16167, 16172, 16195, 16214, + 16245, 16356. * The public headers no longer use __unused nor __block.
