Subject: [PATCH] binder: fix sender fd 0 close and file refcount leak on TF_UPDATE_TXN
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 21:36:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919213648.3316566-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)

In `binder_proc_transaction()`, when a oneway transaction with
`TF_UPDATE_TXN` supersedes an outdated pending transaction
(`t_outdated`), the driver calls `binder_release_entire_buffer(proc,
NULL, buffer, false)` and `kfree(t_outdated)`.

Passing `is_failure = false` while `buffer->transaction` has already
been set to `NULL` causes two bugs when `t_outdated` contained
`BINDER_TYPE_FDA` or `BINDER_TYPE_FD` objects:

1. For `BINDER_TYPE_FDA`, `binder_translate_fd_array()` never wrote
   recipient file descriptors into the buffer (it only appended `struct
   file *` entries to `t_outdated->fd_fixups`), so the FD array in
   `buffer` still contains zeros (or sender-supplied offsets). Because
   `is_failure` is `false`, `binder_transaction_buffer_release()`
   executes the `!is_failure` branch on `BINDER_TYPE_FDA` and calls
   `binder_deferred_fd_close(fd)` (closing `fd 0` in `current->files`,
   which is the **sender** process!).
2. `t_outdated` is freed via `kfree(t_outdated)` without calling
   `binder_free_txn_fixups(t_outdated)`, permanently leaking every
   translated `struct file` reference in `t_outdated->fd_fixups`.

Pass `is_failure = true` to `binder_release_entire_buffer()` and call
`binder_free_txn_fixups(t_outdated)` before freeing `t_outdated`.

Fixes: bdc1c5fac982 ("binder: fix UAF caused by faulty buffer cleanup")
