Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: fix use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt(TCP_CC_INFO)
do_tcp_getsockopt() reads icsk->icsk_ca_ops and dereferences the
get_info function pointer without rcu_read_lock(). With BPF struct_ops
congestion control, ca_ops can point to dynamically allocated memory
that is freed concurrently, resulting in a use-after-free when the
kernel dereferences or calls through the stale pointer.
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt+0x2037/0x23e0
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888013701258 by task exploit/149
do_tcp_getsockopt+0x2037/0x23e0 (net/ipv4/tcp.c:4564)
tcp_getsockopt+0x91/0xf0
__sys_getsockopt+0xf7/0x170
Fix this by wrapping the ca_ops load and get_info call within
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock(), and using READ_ONCE() to load
the icsk_ca_ops pointer.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this use-after-free vulnerability to escalate privileges or cause a Denial of Service (DoS). The issue occurs when querying Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket options without proper locking, causing the kernel to access memory that has been freed concurrently during congestion control operations.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity rather than Important because successful exploitation requires local authenticated access and winning a tight race condition during the concurrent release of custom BPF congestion control structures. Standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments default to built-in kernel congestion algorithms rather than dynamic struct_ops implementations, which significantly restricts attack exposure. Under these specialized conditions, an unauthenticated remote vector is not possible, and local impact is constrained to a system crash or potential privilege escalation.
