Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pds_core: remove write-after-free of client_id A use-after-free error popped up in stress testing: [Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free write in pdsc_auxbus_dev_del+0xef/0x160 [pds_core] [Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] Use-after-free write at 0x000000007013ecd1 (in kfence-#47): [Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] pdsc_auxbus_dev_del+0xef/0x160 [pds_core] [Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] pdsc_remove+0xc0/0x1b0 [pds_core] [Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] pci_device_remove+0x24/0x70 [Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] device_release_driver_internal+0x11f/0x180 [Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] driver_detach+0x45/0x80 [Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] bus_remove_driver+0x83/0xe0 [Mon Apr 21 21:21:33 2025] pci_unregister_driver+0x1a/0x80 The actual device uninit usually happens on a separate thread scheduled after this code runs, but there is no guarantee of order of thread execution, so this could be a problem. There's no actual need to clear the client_id at this point, so simply remove the offending code.

Techniques & Countermeasures

  • CWE-416•Use After Free

    The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
