This can cause UAF for the latter two case: case 1: T1: modprobe brd brd_init brd_alloc(0) // success add_disk disk_scan_partitions bdev_file_open_by_dev // alloc file fput // won't free until back to userspace brd_alloc(1) // failed since mem alloc error inject // error path for modprobe will release code segment // back to userspace __fput blkdev_release bdev_release blkdev_put_whole bdev->bd_disk->fops->release // fops is freed now, UAF! case 2: T1: T2: modprobe brd brd_init brd_alloc(0) // success open(/dev/ram0) brd_alloc(1) // fail // error path for modprobe close(/dev/ram0) ... /* UAF! */ bdev->bd_disk->fops->release Fix this problem by following what loop_init() does. Besides, reintroduce brd_devices_mutex to help serialize modifications to brd_list.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated with Moderate severity because exploitation requires local access with elevated privileges to trigger module loading and fault injection during initialization. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the RAM disk driver (brd) is not loaded by default and is typically used only in environments requiring dedicated in-memory block devices. Unprivileged users cannot trigger this race condition or the resulting use-after-free flaw without administrative rights or direct driver invocation.
