CVE-2025-38212

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipc: fix to protect IPCS lookups using RCU syzbot reported that it discovered a use-after-free vulnerability, [0] [0]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/67af13f8.050a0220.21dd3.0038.GAE@google.com/ idr_for_each() is protected by rwsem, but this is not enough. If it is not protected by RCU read-critical region, when idr_for_each() calls radix_tree_node_free() through call_rcu() to free the radix_tree_node structure, the node will be freed immediately, and when reading the next node in radix_tree_for_each_slot(), the already freed memory may be read. Therefore, we need to add code to make sure that idr_for_each() is protected within the RCU read-critical region when we call it in shm_destroy_orphaned().

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ipc: corrección para proteger las búsquedas IPCS mediante RCU. syzbot informó del descubrimiento de una vulnerabilidad de use-after-free, [0] [0]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/67af13f8.050a0220.21dd3.0038.GAE@google.com/ idr_for_each() está protegido por rwsem, pero esto no es suficiente. Si no está protegido por la región crítica de lectura de RCU, cuando idr_for_each() llama a radix_tree_node_free() mediante call_rcu() para liberar la estructura radix_tree_node, el nodo se liberará inmediatamente y, al leer el siguiente nodo en radix_tree_for_each_slot(), se podrá leer la memoria ya liberada. Por lo tanto, necesitamos agregar código para asegurarnos de que idr_for_each() esté protegido dentro de la región crítica de lectura de RCU cuando lo llamamos en shm_destroy_orphaned().
