HIGH

Linux Kernel 5.7-5.10.99 5.11-5.15.22 5.16-5.16.8 - Use-After-Free in SELinux Conditional Policy Handling

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: selinux: fix double free of cond_list on error paths On error path from cond_read_list() and duplicate_policydb_cond_list() the cond_list_destroy() gets called a second time in caller functions, resulting in NULL pointer deref. Fix this by resetting the cond_list_len to 0 in cond_list_destroy(), making subsequent calls a noop. Also consistently reset the cond_list pointer to NULL after freeing. [PM: fix line lengths in the description]
