In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/iucv: fix use-after-free of a severed iucv_path
af_iucv queues not-yet-received message notifications on iucv->message_q,
each holding a raw pointer to the connection's iucv_path. When the peer
severs the connection, iucv_sever_path() frees that path with
iucv_path_free() but leaves the notifications queued. A later recvmsg()
drains message_q via iucv_process_message_q() and hands the stale path to
message_receive() -- a use-after-free of the freed iucv_path.
Drop the queued notifications when the path is severed; once the path is
gone they can no longer be received. This also frees the notifications
leaked when a socket is closed with messages still queued.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This use-after-free vulnerability exists in the net/iucv component. When a peer severs a connection, message notifications that still reference the freed connection path remain in a queue. A subsequent attempt to process these stale notifications can lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in a system crash (denial of service) or allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
