Repeated calls\ndrive uarg->refcnt to zero prematurely, freeing ubuf_info_msgzc while\nTX skbs still hold live destructor_arg pointers.\n\nKASAN reports use-after-free on a freed ubuf_info_msgzc:\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in skb_release_data+0x77b/0x810\n Read of size 8 at addr ffff88801574d3e8 by task poc/220\n\n Call Trace:\n skb_release_data+0x77b/0x810\n kfree_skb_list_reason+0x13e/0x610\n skb_release_data+0x4cd/0x810\n sk_skb_reason_drop+0xf3/0x340\n skb_queue_purge_reason+0x282/0x440\n rds_tcp_inc_free+0x1e/0x30\n rds_recvmsg+0x354/0x1780\n __sys_recvmsg+0xdf/0x180\n\n Allocated by task 219:\n msg_zerocopy_realloc+0x157/0x7b0\n tcp_sendmsg_locked+0x2892/0x3ba0\n\n Freed by task 219:\n ip_recv_error+0x74a/0xb10\n tcp_recvmsg+0x475/0x530\n\nThe skb consuming the late access still referenced the same uarg via\nshinfo->destructor_arg copied by pskb_carve_inside_nonlinear() without\na refcount bump. This has been verified to be reliably exploitable: a\nworking proof-of-concept achieves full root privilege escalation from\nan unprivileged local user on a default kernel configuration.\n\nThe fix follows the pattern of pskb_expand_head() which has the same\nmemcpy/cloned structure. For pskb_carve_inside_header(), net_zcopy_get()\nis placed after skb_orphan_frags() succeeds, so the orphan error path\nneeds no cleanup. For pskb_carve_inside_nonlinear(), net_zcopy_get() is\nplaced after all failure points and just before skb_release_data(), so\nno error path needs cleanup at all -- matching pskb_expand_head() more\nclosely and avoiding the need for a balancing net_zcopy_put()."}], "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,
