CVE-2024-35831

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel 6.5.7-6.5.99 - Use-After-Free in io_uring Pinned Pages Release

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring: Fix release of pinned pages when __io_uaddr_map fails Looking at the error path of __io_uaddr_map, if we fail after pinning the pages for any reasons, ret will be set to -EINVAL and the error handler won't properly release the pinned pages. I didn't manage to trigger it without forcing a failure, but it can happen in real life when memory is heavily fragmented.
