In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namei: don't reveal overmounted entries in refwalk
In rcuwalk the dentry is validated before it is accepted. step into() step into() rechecks d seq and follow mount rcu() rechecks mount lock. An entry that gets unlinked in between causes the lookup to retry and miss.
A refwalk doesn't do this. lookup fast() takes a reference on the hashed dentry and simply accepts it. So an unlink that happens after the reference was taken isn't seen by refwalk. That's fine for a simple file. We just happened to open it before it was unlinked, no problem.
For a mountpoint and specifically a locked mountpoint it very much isn't. The unlink detaches all mounts and then removes the name. Any refwalk that hasn't traversed the mounts yet simply reveals the underlying entry. It's a very narrow window but it can be hit:
reads of a covered file in 60 s, 3 walkers, ~15000 unlinks no widening 27 that step + 200 us 3741
See the appended patch for a more reliable reproducer.
So check the entry after step into(). unlink(), rmdir() and rename() mark the dentry with dont mount() before they detach the mounts and remove the dentry.
So a dentry that is marked with DCACHE CANT MOUNT and is unhashed by the time its mounts were looked at is a name that was unlinked under the refwalk. DCACHE CANT MOUNT is read after the mounts were looked up and it is set before they are detached by detach mounts(). A refwalk that missed the mounts will see DCACHE CANT MOUNT.
Plain d unlinked() is fine. A rename takes the dentry off its hash chain but d drop() leaves d hash.pprev set. So only d drop() and a rename over the dentry unhash it. The only move that flips IS ROOT splices in a disconnected alias. That doesn't have DCACHE CANT MOUNT set.
Add the to step into slowpath(). ".." and LOOKUP DOWN may legitimately land on an unhashed directory. A refwalk that crossed onto a mount has path.mnt different from nd->path.mnt. A dentry that a filesystem dropped on its own (d invalidate(), d drop()) doesn't have the flag set and is treated as before.
