A bug was found in Linux Kernel 6.6+: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in iommufd_test

Hi RedHat Product Security,

I am fuzzing a LTS version of Linux kernel 6.6 with my modified
syzkaller and I find a bug named "KASAN: slab-use-after-free in
iommufd_test". By analyzing the call trace in bug report, I address
the root cause of this bug at drivers/iommu/iommufd. An iommufd_object
is allocated in one task through
iommufd_fops_ioctl->iommufd_ioas_alloc_ioctl->iommufd_ioas_alloc and
freed in another task through iommufd_fops_ioctl->iommufd_destroy.
Then when the kernel invokes the calls
iommufd_fops_ioctl->iommufd_test->iommufd_test_add_reserved->iommufd_put_object,
an use-after-free read will occur. Detailed report, log, repro, config
can be found in this google drive link:
https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=1nDJWUstYJNcC1zJ6q1rhB5zB0uV2yGvg&export=download&authuser=0&confirm=t

The steps to reproduce the bug:
1. compile the kernel 6.6 with provided Linux-6.6.config
2. boot a qemu vm that runs the compiled kernel
3. scp the repro.c (repro.prog is not recommended) to the vm and
compile it with gcc -pthread repro.c -o repro
4. execute ./repro and you will see the output stucks for a while and
then KASAN is triggered and kernel panic.
5. you can speed up the crash by setting up another ssh shell to
execute ./repro again.

I have reproduced it on 6.6 and 6.6.1 (haven't verified on the latest
ver 6.6.8 yet). But I didn't find any related reports on the internet,
which indicates that it may be a 0day.

I have also reported this bug to upstream
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/CALf2hKsJjDY3OhtMCxhHh7rS=2S4Oq9Ns=t-NFq1MPD=f0K02Q@mail.gmail.com/T/#u).
And I'll be happy to assist if needed.

Best,
Zhiyu Zhang
