CVE-2024-46762

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel < 6.6.51, 6.6.0-6.6.51, 6.7.0-6.10.10, >=6.11 - Use-After-Free in privcmd_irqfd_deassign

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xen: privcmd: Fix possible access to a freed kirqfd instance Nothing prevents simultaneous ioctl calls to privcmd_irqfd_assign() and privcmd_irqfd_deassign(). If that happens, it is possible that a kirqfd created and added to the irqfds_list by privcmd_irqfd_assign() may get removed by another thread executing privcmd_irqfd_deassign(), while the former is still using it after dropping the locks. This can lead to a situation where an already freed kirqfd instance may be accessed and cause kernel oops. Use SRCU locking to prevent the same, as is done for the KVM implementation for irqfds.
