CVE-2024-49982 HIGH

Published: 2024-10-21 | Last Modified: 2026-08-04 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in more places For fixing CVE-2023-6270, f98364e92662 ("aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts") makes tx() calling dev_put() instead of doing in aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). It avoids that the tx() runs into use-after-free. Then Nicolai Stange found more places in aoe have potential use-after-free problem with tx(). e.g. revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(), probe() and aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). Those functions also use aoenet_xmit() to push packet to tx queue. So they should also use dev_hold() to increase the refcnt of skb->dev. On the other hand, moving dev_put() to tx() causes that the refcnt of skb->dev be reduced to a negative value, because corresponding dev_hold() are not called in revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(), probe(), and aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). This patch fixed this issue.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: aoe: soluciona el posible problema de use-after-free en más lugares Para solucionar CVE-2023-6270, f98364e92662 ("aoe: soluciona el posible problema de use-after-free en aoecmd_cfg_pkts") hace que tx() llame a dev_put() en lugar de hacerlo en aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). Esto evita que tx() se ejecute en use-after-free. Luego, Nicolai Stange encontró que más lugares en aoe tienen un posible problema de use-after-free con tx(). Por ejemplo, revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(), probe() y aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). Esas funciones también usan aoenet_xmit() para enviar paquetes a la cola de tx. Por lo tanto, también deberían usar dev_hold() para aumentar el refcnt de skb->dev. Por otra parte, mover dev_put() a tx() hace que el refcnt de skb->dev se reduzca a un valor negativo, porque los dev_hold() correspondientes no se llaman en revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(), probe() y aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). Este parche solucionó este problema.
