a remote cluster peer can deliver packets that hit the enqueue trace path while the destination socket is user-owned.\nAC:L - This is a controllable race between enqueue-time TIPC_DUMP_ALL trace dumps of sk_receive_queue and the socket owner dequeuing/freeing those skbs; the attacker drives both sides via concurrent recvmsg/splice/sendmsg threads or by flooding TIPC messages while a receiver holds lock_sock().\nPR:N - TIPC data-plane delivery to an existing socket/port needs no authentication or victim credentials; any local user may open AF_TIPC sockets (including via user namespaces with CAP_NET_ADMIN), and default sk_filter sysctl matches all sockets once trace events are enabled.\nUI:N - Exploitation needs no victim interaction beyond normal socket/cluster I/O; the attacker controls message injection and thread timing without requiring mounts, prompts, or other deliberate user actions.\nS:U - The flaw is a kernel sk_buff use-after-free in the TIPC socket path and its impact stays within the kernel security authority; it does not by itself cross VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor isolation boundaries.\nC:H - KASAN reported __asan_report_load4 in tipc_skb_dump() reading freed skb/message fields from sk_receive_queue; this UAF read of attacker-influenced heap objects can disclose kernel memory and supports further info-leak exploitation.\nI:H - Concurrent enqueue tracing walks queue pointers while skbs are freed by the socket owner, creating a classic UAF on sk_buff slabs that can be groomed for arbitrary kernel memory corruption and privilege escalation.\nA:H - Dereferencing freed skbs during tipc_list_dump()/tipc_skb_dump() can oops or panic the kernel; UAF in the TIPC receive/enqueue path is a high-availability risk even when not fully weaponized for code execution." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/tipc/socket.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "01e661ebfbad40e6280fb8ec25f2861d39ba4387", "lessThan": "ae5d0d9ce767b20a5580bb6dc5e06f3e1b8a0fb0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "01e661ebfbad40e6280fb8ec25f2861d39ba4387", "lessThan": "273ff83c49b82e4267373adbe629e6ee8aeaa16c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "01e661ebfbad40e6280fb8ec25f2861d39ba4387", "lessThan": "258fb15b30db4f3941ab335d5e02f744baf1da54", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "01e661ebfbad40e6280fb8ec25f2861d39ba4387", "lessThan": "12876864f9de5fa6f611a30c6c17e405a773bf0a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "01e661ebfbad40e6280fb8ec25f2861d39ba4387", "lessThan": "b9e100815f4b55e9ccaf6af9a3aba173eb13d381", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "01e661ebfbad40e6280fb8ec25f2861d39ba4387", "lessThan": "61a55fa24a5d737436018764a647fe5b6cb36371", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "01e661ebfbad40e6280fb8ec25f2861d39ba4387", "lessThan": "6acbbe54215d5f4251593000cff2bf51d6748713", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "01e661ebfbad40e6280fb8ec25f2861d39ba4387", "lessThan": "acd7df8d955480a6f6e5bb809da67b1500cc3cf4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/tipc/socket.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.0", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.266", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.217", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.184", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.148", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.101", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.40", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.5", "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": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.266" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.217" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.184" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.148" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.101" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.40" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.5" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ae5d0d9ce767b20a5580bb6dc5e06f3e1b8a0fb0" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/273ff83c49b82e4267373adbe629e6ee8aeaa16c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/258fb15b30db4f3941ab335d5e02f744baf1da54" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/12876864f9de5fa6f611a30c6c17e405a773bf0a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b9e100815f4b55e9ccaf6af9a3aba173eb13d381" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61a55fa24a5d737436018764a647fe5b6cb36371" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6acbbe54215d5f4251593000cff2bf51d6748713" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/acd7df8d955480a6f6e5bb809da67b1500cc3cf4" } ], "title": "tipc: restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
