Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: fix race condition in mptcp_schedule_work() syzbot reported use-after-free in mptcp_schedule_work() [1] Issue here is that mptcp_schedule_work() schedules a work, then gets a refcount on sk->sk_refcnt if the work was scheduled. This refcount will be released by mptcp_worker(). [A] if (schedule_work(...)) { [B] sock_hold(sk); return true; } Problem is that mptcp_worker() can run immediately and complete before [B] We need instead : sock_hold(sk); if (schedule_work(...)) return true; sock_put(sk); [1] refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

Que faire ?

  • Vérifiez si Linux (versions 6.6.118, <=6.1.*, <db4f7968a75250ca6c4ed70d0a78beabb2dcee18, <=6.12.*, <ac28dfddedf6f209190950fc71bcff65ec4ab47b, 6.17.10, 0, 6.18, <5.7, 5.10.247, <=5.10.*, <=6.6.*, 6.12.60, <3fc7723ed01d1130d4bf7063c50e0af60ecccbb4, <8f9ba1a99a89feef9b5867c15a0141a97e893309, <f865e6595acf33083168db76921e66ace8bf0e5b, 5.15.197, 6.1.159, 5.7, <=*, <99908e2d601236842d705d5fd04fb349577316f5, <=5.15.*, <=6.17.*, 3b1d6210a9577369103330b0d802b0bf74b65e7f, <035bca3f017ee9dea3a5a756e77a6f7138cc6eea) est présent sur votre parc.
  • Appliquez le correctif ou la version corrigée indiqués dans les références de l'éditeur.
  • À défaut de correctif, limitez l'exposition (filtrage réseau, désactivation du composant).
  • Automatisez la détection : les agents CVE Heimdall (gratuits, open source) corrèlent l'inventaire de vos serveurs avec la base CVE.
