In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: fix potential use-after-free in audit_del_rule()
audit_del_rule() destroys e->rule.exe via audit_remove_mark_rule()
before unlinking the rule from RCU-visible filter lists and waiting for a
grace period. Concurrent readers in audit_filter() and
audit_filter_rules() still dereference e->rule.exe, while the fsnotify
mark can be freed on an independent lifetime path. This creates a
use-after-free window during rule deletion.
Fix this by unlinking the rule from the RCU-visible lists and invoking
synchronize_rcu() before calling audit_remove_mark_rule() (and other
rule removal helpers). This ensures that all existing RCU readers have
exited the critical section before any underlying resources are destroyed.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. During the deletion of audit rules, the audit_del_rule() function prematurely frees a resource while other kernel functions can still access it. This creates a use-after-free vulnerability, which a local attacker could potentially exploit to cause system instability, information disclosure, or potentially escalate privileges.
