In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: buffer: Fix file related error handling in IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL
If we fail to copy the just created file descriptor to userland, we
try to clean up by putting back 'fd' and freeing 'ib'. The code uses
put_unused_fd() for the former which is wrong, as the file descriptor
was already published by fd_install() which gets called internally by
anon_inode_getfd().
This makes the error handling code leaving a half cleaned up file
descriptor table around and a partially destructed 'file' object,
allowing userland to play use-after-free tricks on us, by abusing
the still usable fd and making the code operate on a dangling
'file->private_data' pointer.
Instead of leaving the kernel in a partially corrupted state, don't
attempt to explicitly clean up and leave this to the process exit
path that'll release any still valid fds, including the one created
by the previous call to anon_inode_getfd(). Simply return -EFAULT to
indicate the error.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem. When an error occurs while copying a newly created file descriptor to user space during an IIO buffer control operation, the kernel improperly cleans up the descriptor table. A local user can exploit this issue by interacting with the dangling file descriptor to trigger a use-after-free condition, where the kernel accesses memory that has already been released. This flaw can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) through a system crash or potentially allow local privilege escalation.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as having Low severity for Red Hat enterprise products because exploitation requires local access with permissions to open an Industrial I/O (IIO) device node, a class of hardware rarely present or exposed in standard server deployments. Under default configurations, unprivileged users do not have access to /dev/iio:device* device files. Furthermore, triggering the condition requires deliberately inducing a copy failure to user space during an ioctl call, restricting the blast radius primarily to a local denial of service via a kernel crash on specialized hardware.
