In the reproduced failure path, the second teardown\nre-entered crypto_engine_exit() on an already destroyed worker and KASAN\nreported a slab-use-after-free in kthread_destroy_worker().\n\nPrevent double-free by handling partial allocation failures locally within\nmeson_allocate_chanlist() and skipping the outer cleanup path.\n\nThe bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are\ndeveloping for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing\nv6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly\navailable.\n\nThe bug was reproduced in a QEMU x86_64 guest booted with KASAN on v7.1,\nusing the reproducer under tools/testing/meson_crypto_probe. The reproducer\nforces the second dma_alloc_attrs() call in the gxl-crypto probe path to\nreturn NULL, making meson_allocate_chanlist() fail after partial\ninitialization. On the unpatched kernel this reliably triggered a\nslab-use-after-free. With this fix applied, the same reproducer no longer\nemits any KASAN report and the probe fails cleanly with -ENOMEM.\n\n ==================================================================\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in kthread_destroy_worker+0xb2/0xd0\n Read of size 8 at addr ff1100010c057a68 by task insmod/265\n\n CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 265 Comm: insmod Tainted: G O 7.1.0-rc2-00376-g810af9adc907-dirty #10 PREEMPT(lazy)\n Tainted: [O]=OOT_MODULE\n Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014\n Call Trace:\n \n dump_stack_lvl+0x68/0xa0\n print_report+0xcb/0x5e0\n ? __virt_addr_valid+0x21d/0x3f0\n ? kthread_destroy_worker+0xb2/0xd0\n ? kthread_destroy_worker+0xb2/0xd0\n kasan_report+0xca/0x100\n ? kthread_destroy_worker+0xb2/0xd0\n kthread_destroy_worker+0xb2/0xd0\n meson_crypto_probe+0x4d0/0xc10 [amlogic_gxl_crypto]\n platform_probe+0x99/0x140\n really_probe+0x1c6/0x6a0\n ? __pfx___device_attach_driver+0x10/0x10\n __driver_probe_device+0x248/0x310\n ? acpi_driver_match_device+0xb0/0x100\n driver_probe_device+0x48/0x210\n ? __pfx___device_attach_driver+0x10/0x10\n __device_attach_driver+0x160/0x320\n bus_for_each_drv+0x104/0x190\n ? __pfx_bus_for_each_drv+0x10/0x10\n ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2c/0x50\n __device_attach+0x19d/0x3b0\n ? __pfx___device_attach+0x10/0x10\n ? do_raw_spin_unlock+0x53/0x220\n device_initial_probe+0x78/0xa0\n bus_probe_device+0x5b/0x130\n device_add+0xcfd/0x1430\n ? __pfx_device_add+0x10/0x10\n ? insert_resource+0x34/0x50\n ? lock_release+0xc9/0x290\n platform_device_add+0x24e/0x590\n ? __pfx_meson_crypto_probe_repro_init+0x10/0x10 [meson_crypto_probe_repro]\n meson_crypto_probe_repro_init+0x330/0xff0 [meson_crypto_probe_repro]\n do_one_initcall+0xc0/0x450\n ? __pfx_do_one_initcall+0x10/0x10\n ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2c/0x50\n ? __create_object+0x59/0x80\n ? kasan_unpoison+0x27/0x60\n do_init_module+0x27b/0x7d0\n ? __pfx_do_init_module+0x10/0x10\n ? kasan_quarantine_put+0x84/0x1d0\n ? kfree+0x32c/0x510\n ? load_module+0x561e/0x5ff0\n load_module+0x54fe/0x5ff0\n ? __pfx_load_module+0x10/0x10\n ? security_file_permission+0x20/0x40\n ? kernel_read_file+0x23d/0x6e0\n ? mmap_region+0x235/0x4a0\n ? __pfx_kernel_read_file+0x10/0x10\n ? __file_has_perm+0x2c0/0x3e0\n init_module_from_file+0x158/0x180\n ? __pfx_init_module_from_file+0x10/0x10\n ? __lock_acquire+0x45a/0x1ba0\n ? idempotent_init_module+0x315/0x610\n ? lock_release+0xc9/0x290\n ? lock\n---truncated---" } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only in the Amlogic GXL platform driver probe path (meson_crypto_probe → meson_allocate_chanlist error unwind), via boot/deferred probe, module bind, or local sysfs rebind—not from network, adjacent, or physical I/O.\nAC:L - Once meson_allocate_chanlist() fails after partial engine/DMA setup, the outer error_flow double-calls meson_free_chanlist() deterministically; a local attacker can induce that ENOMEM with memory pressure or allocation failure, with no race beyond their control.\nPR:L - On Amlogic GXL devices the DT node is status=okay and probes automatically (including deferred retries when clocks/IRQs appear); an ordinary local user can apply memory pressure during that probe without CAP_SYS_MODULE or init-namespace root, matching the higher-severity choice over PR:H.\nUI:N - No victim action such as opening a file or mounting a filesystem is required; probe error unwinding runs entirely in kernel context once allocation failure is induced.\nS:U - The double-free/UAF corrupts host kernel heap and crypto-engine worker state within the same kernel security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary by itself.\nC:H - The second teardown re-enters crypto_engine_exit()/kthread_destroy_worker() and dma_free_coherent() on already freed objects (confirmed KASAN slab-UAF), which can expose arbitrary kernel memory via attacker-controlled reuse of the freed slabs.\nI:H - Double-free of kthread_worker and DMA descriptor buffers yields overlapping live objects and classic heap corruption primitives that can be leveraged for arbitrary kernel writes or control-flow hijacking, not merely a clean crash.\nA:H - The use-after-free and double-free paths reliably cause kernel oops/panic (KASAN reported slab-UAF in kthread_destroy_worker), and NULL engine pointers on early failure also crash via crypto_engine_exit(NULL)." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/crypto/amlogic/amlogic-gxl-core.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "48fe583fe54177bfb80f348e2a5cc34c3f710095", "lessThan": "c2c48aa7a6be36d4c93da75d14d4b4f2f4168c81", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "48fe583fe54177bfb80f348e2a5cc34c3f710095", "lessThan": "c80360b4e85099fc3835378a96a59c0a2480fb07", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "48fe583fe54177bfb80f348e2a5cc34c3f710095", "lessThan": "5b452019a4127f63c1f2147237fc287d1581f606", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "48fe583fe54177bfb80f348e2a5cc34c3f710095", "lessThan": "f30e2b879bda14bc3e1524fba6f8ab9ec119da90", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "48fe583fe54177bfb80f348e2a5cc34c3f710095", "lessThan": "6effdbaca3cd8354540bdf42c7f5fb84412afeb7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "48fe583fe54177bfb80f348e2a5cc34c3f710095", "lessThan": "84a00be9b736aa5dce902a290f62cbbbdcfab9ed", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "48fe583fe54177bfb80f348e2a5cc34c3f710095", "lessThan": "6dda8406d8a3da2519c8b388d443d7357839cb63", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "48fe583fe54177bfb80f348e2a5cc34c3f710095", "lessThan": "6d827ade51a24e18d81afb9f32756d339520a14c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/crypto/amlogic/amlogic-gxl-core.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.5", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.5", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.261", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.212", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.178", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.145", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.96", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.39", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.5", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.261" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.5", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.212" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.178" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.145" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.96" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.39" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.5", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.5", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c2c48aa7a6be36d4c93da75d14d4b4f2f4168c81" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c80360b4e85099fc3835378a96a59c0a2480fb07" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5b452019a4127f63c1f2147237fc287d1581f606" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f30e2b879bda14bc3e1524fba6f8ab9ec119da90" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6effdbaca3cd8354540bdf42c7f5fb84412afeb7" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/84a00be9b736aa5dce902a290f62cbbbdcfab9ed" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6dda8406d8a3da2519c8b388d443d7357839cb63" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d827ade51a24e18d81afb9f32756d339520a14c" } ], "title": "crypto: amlogic -
