UBUNTU-CVE-2024-50059: Use After Free

Published Oct 21, 2024
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntb: ntbhwswitchtec: Fix use after free vulnerability in switchtecntbremove due to race condition In the switchtecntbadd function, it can call switchtecntbinitsndev function, then &sndev->checklinkstatuswork is bound with checklinkstatuswork. switchtecntblinknotification may be called to start the work. If we remove the module which will call switchtecntbremove to make cleanup, it will free sndev through kfree(sndev), while the work mentioned above will be used. The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows: CPU0 CPU1 | checklinkstatuswork switchtecntbremove | kfree(sndev); | | if (sndev->linkforcedown) | // use sndev Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with the cleanup in switchtecntbremove.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What conditions are required to trigger this issue?

The affected Switchtec NTB driver must have initialized its link-status work, and a link notification must start that work. The race occurs when the driver or module is removed while the queued or running work can still access the device structure after cleanup frees it.

2

Are systems affected by default?

The issue is specific to the Linux kernel's Switchtec NTB hardware driver. The provided information does not establish whether that driver is enabled, loaded, or used by default in any listed Ubuntu kernel package.

3

What is the mitigation if an updated kernel cannot be installed immediately?

Avoid removing the affected Switchtec NTB driver or module while link-status work may be active. The upstream fix cancels the work before freeing the device structure during driver removal.

4

How can I determine whether a system is exposed?

Determine whether the system uses the Switchtec NTB driver and whether its driver or module may be removed during operation. Exposure depends on the link-status work being started and racing with the driver's removal path.
