Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: fastrpc: Fix double free of 'buf' in error path smatch warning: drivers/misc/fastrpc.c:1926 fastrpc_req_mmap() error: double free of 'buf' In fastrpc_req_mmap() error path, the fastrpc buffer is freed in fastrpc_req_munmap_impl() if unmap is successful. But in the end, there is an unconditional call to fastrpc_buf_free(). So the above case triggers the double free of fastrpc buf.

The second `fastrpc_buf_free()` reads `buf-\u003edev/size/virt/phys` from freed slab memory, and the duplicated `dma_free_coherent()` releases pages that remain mappable to userspace via this driver\u0027s dma-buf `.mmap`, allowing an attacker-mapped page to be re-issued to another kernel consumer and read \\u2014 an arbitrary kernel-memory disclosure primitive.\\nI:H - A same-object double free poisons the SLUB freelist so the same chunk is handed out to two owners, yielding overlapping-object heap corruption and, together with the still-mapped doubly-freed DMA pages, an arbitrary kernel write suitable for privilege escalation.\\nA:H - Even without successful exploitation the double free corrupts the slab and page allocators, and on kernels with SLUB debugging or freelist hardening it trips an immediate BUG, causing a kernel panic that any local user can trigger at will.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"13327ed95222e70fa98805382b65636b872d87cb\", \"lessThan\": \"4753cc37b6606ef9a7ec22861d380d45e2707f9a\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"72fa6f7820c4cf96c5f7aabc4e54bdf52d1e2ac2\", \"lessThan\": \"f77dc8a75859e559f3238a6d906206259227985e\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"72fa6f7820c4cf96c5f7aabc4e54bdf52d1e2ac2\", \"lessThan\": \"bfc1704d909dc9911a558b1a5833d3d61a43a1f2\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"72fa6f7820c4cf96c5f7aabc4e54bdf52d1e2ac2\", \"lessThan\": \"e8c276d4dc0e19ee48385f74426aebc855b49aaf\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"911737ad0c860251f640a05feb75f9dc7e41f0d7\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"b10e064ca0f708c4b4401ac5eab0f76cf7cec93d\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"5.10.267\", \"lessThan\": \"5.11\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"5.15.218\", \"lessThan\": \"5.16\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/misc/fastrpc.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.2\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.2\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.51\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.10.10\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.10.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.11\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/misc/fastrpc.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4753cc37b6606ef9a7ec22861d380d45e2707f9a\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f77dc8a75859e559f3238a6d906206259227985e\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bfc1704d909dc9911a558b1a5833d3d61a43a1f2\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e8c276d4dc0e19ee48385f74426aebc855b49aaf\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nmisc: fastrpc: Fix double free of \u0027buf\u0027 in error path\\n\\nsmatch warning:\\ndrivers/misc/fastrpc.c:1926 fastrpc_req_mmap() error: double free of \u0027buf\u0027\\n\\nIn fastrpc_req_mmap() error path, the fastrpc buffer is freed in\\nfastrpc_req_munmap_impl() if unmap is successful.\\n\\nBut in the end, there is an unconditional call to fastrpc_buf_free().\\nSo the above case triggers the double free of fastrpc buf.\"}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.6.51\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.2\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.10.10\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.2\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.11\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.2\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionStartIncluding\": \"5.10.267\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionStartIncluding\": \"5.15.218\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\", \"shortName\": \"Linux\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-08-27T12:39:34.666Z\"}}}",
