Published Oct 6, 2022
·
Updated

A use after free flaw in the Linux Kernel SGI GRU driver in drivers/misc/sgi-gru/grufile.c found. A local user can call grufileunlockedioctl with GRUSETCONTEXTOPTION and then triggering error path in grucheckcontextplacement function. This leads to use after free in gruunloadcontext function.

Reference: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg4518970.html

Besides, this is a long existing bug which was introduced in 13 years ago: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/55484c45dbeca2eec7642932ec3f60f8a2d4bdbf

Other sources

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s SGI GRU driver in the way the first grufileunlockedioctl function is called by the user, where a fail pass occurs in the grucheckchipletassignment function. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
