CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required only for the iscsid teardown side, not for the unprivileged use.\\nUI:N - No separate victim action is required; the attacker drives the sysfs reads, and session logout is performed by iscsid/the attacker as part of normal iscsi_tcp operation rather than a human UI step.\\nS:U - This is a host-kernel slab UAF enabling local privilege escalation within the same kernel authority; it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other security boundary.\\nC:H - Use-after-free of the iscsi_session object lets an attacker reclaim and control the freed object (including leadconn/sock-related state used by get_param), enabling arbitrary kernel information disclosure.\\nI:H - The same reclaimable session UAF supports heap spraying and corruption of the reused object, yielding write/control-flow hijacking primitives suitable for privilege escalation.\\nA:H - The UAF already faults in spin_lock_bh on the freed session (KASAN report) and can oops/panic the kernel even without a full exploit, so availability impact is High.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"a79af8a64d395bd89de8695a5ea5e1a7f01f02a8\", \"lessThan\": \"0af745fddefbd56198f4f35eb309215ee5f9e21e\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"a79af8a64d395bd89de8695a5ea5e1a7f01f02a8\", \"lessThan\": \"17b738590b97fb3fc287289971d1519ff9b875a1\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"a79af8a64d395bd89de8695a5ea5e1a7f01f02a8\", \"lessThan\": \"8859687f5b242c0b057461df0a9ff51d5500783b\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"a79af8a64d395bd89de8695a5ea5e1a7f01f02a8\", \"lessThan\": \"6f1d64b13097e85abda0f91b5638000afc5f9a06\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c\", \"drivers/scsi/libiscsi.c\", \"include/scsi/libiscsi.h\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"2.6.39\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"2.6.39\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"5.10.248\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.10.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"5.15.93\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.15.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.1.11\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.2\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c\", \"drivers/scsi/libiscsi.c\", \"include/scsi/libiscsi.h\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0af745fddefbd56198f4f35eb309215ee5f9e21e\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/17b738590b97fb3fc287289971d1519ff9b875a1\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8859687f5b242c0b057461df0a9ff51d5500783b\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f1d64b13097e85abda0f91b5638000afc5f9a06\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nscsi: iscsi_tcp: Fix UAF during logout when accessing the shost ipaddress\\n\\nBug report and analysis from Ding Hui.\\n\\nDuring iSCSI session logout, if another task accesses the shost ipaddress\\nattr, we can get a KASAN UAF report like this:\\n\\n[  276.942144] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x78/0xe0\\n[  276.942535] Write of size 4 at addr ffff8881053b45b8 by task cat/4088\\n[  276.943511] CPU: 2 PID: 4088 Comm: cat Tainted: G            E      6.1.0-rc8+ #3\\n[  276.943997] Hardware name: VMware, Inc.
