UBUNTU-CVE-2025-39783: Use After Free

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel packages are identified as affected?

The affected software list includes ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-azure-fde, and ubuntu/linux-realtime. The issue is associated with PCI endpoint function drivers that use a configfs attribute group during teardown.

Q: What level of access is required for exploitation?

The supplied severity vector rates the issue as locally exploitable with low privileges and no user interaction required. Its impact is rated high for confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Q: How might administrators recognize the issue in logs or testing?

A KASAN-enabled kernel can report a slab use-after-free in pci_epf_remove_cfs during endpoint function driver teardown or module removal. The provided trace shows the path through pci_epf_unregister_driver and nvmet_pci_epf_cleanup_module while rmmod is running.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: endpoint: Fix configfs group list head handling Doing a listdel() on the epfgroup field of struct pciepfdriver in pciepfremovecfs() is not correct as this field is a list head, not a list entry. This listdel() call triggers a KASAN warning when an endpoint function driver which has a configfs attribute group is torn down: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in pciepfremovecfs+0x17c/0x198 Write of size 8 at addr ffff00010f4a0d80 by task rmmod/319 CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 319 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 6.16.0-rc2 #1 NONE Hardware name: Radxa ROCK 5B (DT) Call trace: showstack+0x2c/0x84 (C) dumpstacklvl+0x70/0x98 printreport+0x17c/0x538 kasanreport+0xb8/0x190 asanreportstore8noabort+0x20/0x2c pciepfremovecfs+0x17c/0x198 pciepfunregisterdriver+0x18/0x30 nvmetpciepfcleanupmodule+0x24/0x30 [nvmetpciepf] arm64sysdeletemodule+0x264/0x424 invokesyscall+0x70/0x260 el0svccommon.constprop.0+0xac/0x230 doel0svc+0x40/0x58 el0svc+0x48/0xdc el0t64synchandler+0x10c/0x138 el0t64sync+0x198/0x19c ...
