Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipmi: fix use after free in _ipmi_destroy_user()
The intf_free() function frees the "intf" pointer so we cannot
dereference it again on the next line.
A use-after-free flaw was found in the IPMI driver in the Linux kernel. In _ipmi_destroy_user(), the intf_free() function frees the interface pointer, but the code subsequently attempts to dereference this freed pointer. This could result in kernel crashes or potentially allow an attacker with local access to escalate privileges.
Отчет
The bug involves a straightforward use-after-free but occurs in a narrow code path during IPMI interface teardown. Exploiting this for privilege escalation would require precise timing and IPMI hardware access.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the ipmi_msghandler module from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
