CVE-2026-23372 HIGH

Published: 2026-03-25 | Last Modified: 2026-04-24 | Status: Analyzed

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: rawsock: cancel tx_work before socket teardown In rawsock_release(), cancel any pending tx_work and purge the write queue before orphaning the socket. rawsock_tx_work runs on the system workqueue and calls nfc_data_exchange which dereferences the NCI device. Without synchronization, tx_work can race with socket and device teardown when a process is killed (e.g. by SIGKILL), leading to use-after-free or leaked references. Set SEND_SHUTDOWN first so that if tx_work is already running it will see the flag and skip transmitting, then use cancel_work_sync to wait for any in-progress execution to finish, and finally purge any remaining queued skbs.

En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: nfc: rawsock: cancelar tx_work antes del desmontaje del socket En rawsock_release(), cancelar cualquier tx_work pendiente y purgar la cola de escritura antes de dejar huérfano el socket. rawsock_tx_work se ejecuta en la cola de trabajo del sistema y llama a nfc_data_exchange, que desreferencia el dispositivo NCI. Sin sincronización, tx_work puede competir con el desmontaje del socket y del dispositivo cuando un proceso es terminado (p. ej., por SIGKILL), lo que lleva a uso después de liberación o referencias filtradas. Establecer SEND_SHUTDOWN primero para que si tx_work ya se está ejecutando, vea la bandera y omita la transmisión, luego usar cancel_work_sync para esperar a que finalice cualquier ejecución en curso, y finalmente purgar cualquier skbs en cola restante.
