No victim action or cooperation is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap memory and any resulting escalation stays within the kernel's own security authority. No hypervisor, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed object lives in the generic kmalloc-512 cache, which an unprivileged attacker can reliably reclaim with `msg_msg`/`setxattr`/keyring sprays, giving control over `con->sock` and `con->sub_list`; the resulting controlled dereferences and list walks can be turned into a kernel-memory read primitive and leak kernel pointers.\nI:H - Post-free, `tipc_conn_close()` writes through the reclaimed object (`test_and_clear_bit` on `con->flags`, `write_lock_bh` on an attacker-controlled `sk`), unlinks attacker-controlled `con->sub_list` entries (arbitrary-write via list_del), and calls `sock->ops->shutdown()` through a controlled pointer \u2014 a direct control-flow hijack primitive leading to privilege escalation.\nA:H - Even unweaponized, the use-after-free dereferences freed memory in the `cleanup_net` kworker, producing an oops/panic in a global kernel thread as demonstrated by the syzbot KASAN report. A panic in the netns cleanup worker also wedges all further namespace teardown on the system."}]}], "affected": [{"repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "versions": [{"status": "affected", "version": "c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f", "lessThan": "03dcdd2558e1e55bf843822fe4363dcb48743f2b", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f", "lessThan": "15a6f4971e2f157d57e09ea748d1fbc714277aa4", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f", "lessThan": "dab8ded2e5ff41012a6ff400b44dbe76ccf3592a", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f", "lessThan": "1dbf7cd2454a28b1da700085b99346b5445aeabb", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f", "lessThan": "be4b8392da7978294f2f368799d29dd509fb6c4d", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f", "lessThan": "50aa2d121bc2cfe2d825f8a331ea75dfaaab6a50", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f", "lessThan": "3b89e17b2fd64012682bed158d9eb3d2e96dec42", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "c5fa7b3cf3cb22e4ac60485fc2dc187fe012910f", "lessThan": "667eeab4999e981c96b447a4df5f20bdf5c26f13", "versionType": "git"}], "programFiles": ["net/tipc/topsrv.c"], "defaultStatus": "unaffected"}, {"repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "versions": [{"status": "affected", "version": "3.11"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "0", "lessThan": "3.11", "versionType": "semver"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "5.4.296", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "5.10.240", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "5.15.189", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.1.146", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.6.99", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.12.39", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.15.7", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.15.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.16", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*"}], "programFiles": ["net/tipc/topsrv.c"], "defaultStatus": "affected"}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/03dcdd2558e1e55bf843822fe4363dcb48743f2b"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/15a6f4971e2f157d57e09ea748d1fbc714277aa4"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dab8ded2e5ff41012a6ff400b44dbe76ccf3592a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1dbf7cd2454a28b1da700085b99346b5445aeabb"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be4b8392da7978294f2f368799d29dd509fb6c4d"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50aa2d121bc2cfe2d825f8a331ea75dfaaab6a50"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3b89e17b2fd64012682bed158d9eb3d2e96dec42"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/667eeab4999e981c96b447a4df5f20bdf5c26f13"}], "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}, "descriptions": [{"lang": "en", "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntipc: Fix use-after-free in tipc_conn_close().\n\nsyzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in tipc_conn_close() during netns\ndismantle.
