CVE-2024-49982: aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in more places

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.38% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 07b418d50ccbbca7e5d87a3a0d41d436cefebf79, 12f7b89dd72b25da4eeaa22097877963cad6418e, 4.19.323; azl3 kernel 6.6.51.1-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-2; azl3 kernel 6.6.57.1-2 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-2.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 07b418d50ccbbca7e5d87a3a0d41d436cefebf79, 12f7b89dd72b25da4eeaa22097877963cad6418e, 4.19.323; azl3 kernel 6.6.51.1-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-2; azl3 kernel 6.6.57.1-2 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-2 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in more places For fixing CVE-2023-6270, f98364e92662 ("aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts") makes tx() calling dev_put() instead of doing in aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). It avoids that the tx() runs into use-after-free. Then Nicolai Stange found more places in aoe have potential use-after-free problem with tx(). e.g. revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(), probe() and aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). Those functions also use aoenet_xmit() to push packet to tx queue. So they should also use dev_hold() to increase the refcnt of skb->dev. On the other hand, moving dev_put() to tx() causes that the refcnt of skb->dev be reduced to a negative value, because corresponding dev_hold() are not called in revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(), probe(), and aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). This patch fixed this issue.
