Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: llcp: add missing return after LLCP_CLOSED checks
In nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc() and nfc_llcp_recv_disc(), when the socket
state is LLCP_CLOSED, the code correctly calls release_sock() and
nfc_llcp_sock_put() but fails to return. Execution falls through to
the remainder of the function, which calls release_sock() and
nfc_llcp_sock_put() again. This results in a double release_sock()
and a refcount underflow via double nfc_llcp_sock_put(), leading to
a use-after-free.
Add the missing return statements after the LLCP_CLOSED branches
in both functions to prevent the fall-through.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Near Field Communication (NFC) Logical Link Control Protocol (LLCP) subsystem. Missing return statements after LLCP_CLOSED checks in the nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc() and nfc_llcp_recv_disc() functions can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. This occurs because the system attempts to release resources twice, causing a reference count underflow. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service or other system instability.
