Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: fix use-after-free in __tcf_action_put()
__tcf_action_put() decrements the reference count before decrementing the
binding count. Another thread can free the action between these operations,
causing the binding-count update to access freed memory. KASAN reports it
as:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __tcf_action_put+0x327/0x340
Write of size 4 at addr ff11000000d46420 by task tc-put-pause/64
Hold the action IDR mutex across both counter updates and IDR removal,
keeping cleanup outside the lock.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's traffic control (net/sched) subsystem. Due to improper synchronization in the __tcf_action_put() function, reference and binding counts are updated out of sequence during action cleanup, allowing memory to be released while still being accessed. A local attacker could exploit this race condition to cause a use-after-free error, potentially resulting in local privilege escalation or a Denial of Service (DoS) via a system crash.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Important because an authenticated local user can trigger kernel memory corruption to escalate privileges to root or crash the host system, compromising kernel integrity without requiring physical access or user interaction. Standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments include the traffic control scheduling subsystem by default, making the issue accessible in typical environments. Although local authentication is required, the potential for full kernel execution and complete loss of host availability justifies the Important severity classification.
