There is no remote or adjacent-network path into ublk_drv.\nAC:L - The attacker owns both sides of the race: one thread submits I/O to the ublk block device (queueing `ublk_cmd_tw_cb` task work) while another tears down the io_uring ring or issues `UBLK_CMD_STOP_DEV`, driving `ublk_cancel_cmd()`. The window can be hit repeatedly in a loop with high queue depth until it lands.\nPR:L - ublk explicitly supports `UBLK_F_UNPRIVILEGED_DEV`, where `ublk_ctrl_add_dev()` accepts non-`CAP_SYS_ADMIN` callers and all later control commands gate only on file permissions of `/dev/ublkc*`, so an ordinary local user (including inside a container) can create and drive the device. Only basic local-user access is needed, not real root.\nUI:N - The attacking process performs every step itself \u2014 creating the ublk device, issuing I/O, and triggering cancellation. No victim action or interaction is required.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel heap objects (`io_kiocb`) within the same security authority; the ublk driver and io_uring both run in the kernel's own scope. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed io_uring request is dereferenced and re-completed, so an attacker who reclaims the slab object controls its contents and can have kernel data posted back through the CQE and the ublk io path. Per UAF guidance this constitutes a path to arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The second `io_uring_cmd_done()` writes result fields into and relinks a freed `io_kiocb`, and the request is freed twice \u2014 a write-after-free plus double-free on a well-known io_uring slab that is a standard heap-spray target for control-flow hijack. This is high-integrity memory corruption, not a bounded write.\nA:H - The commit states plainly that \"kernel crash can be triggered,\" and the double completion corrupts io_uring's completion/task-work lists. Any unprivileged local user with a ublk device can panic the machine on demand."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/block/ublk_drv.c"], "versions": [{"version": "216c8f5ef0f209a3797292c487bdaa6991ab4b92", "lessThan": "346b7d74c612234dae0878892682b9722e7c04c8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "216c8f5ef0f209a3797292c487bdaa6991ab4b92", "lessThan": "fb2eb9ddf556f93fef45201e1f9d2b8674bcc975", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "216c8f5ef0f209a3797292c487bdaa6991ab4b92", "lessThan": "f40139fde5278d81af3227444fd6e76a76b9506d", "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/block/ublk_drv.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.7", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.7", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.114", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.14.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.14.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.15", "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": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.114"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.14.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.15"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/346b7d74c612234dae0878892682b9722e7c04c8"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fb2eb9ddf556f93fef45201e1f9d2b8674bcc975"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f40139fde5278d81af3227444fd6e76a76b9506d"}], "title": "ublk: fix race between io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task and ublk_cancel_cmd", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
