Vulnerability from cvelistv5

Severity ?
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix use-after-free in bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach() If bpf_link_prime() fails, bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach() goes to the error_free label and frees the array of bpf_uprobe's without calling bpf_uprobe_unregister(). This leaks bpf_uprobe->uprobe and worse, this frees bpf_uprobe->consumer without removing it from the uprobe->consumers list.

No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\\nC:H - The freed `struct bpf_uprobe` array is reclaimed by attacker-sprayed data and then used as a `struct uprobe_consumer` with attacker-controlled `handler`/`next`/`link` pointers, yielding arbitrary kernel-memory read via the resulting indirect calls and `bpf_prog_run()` dereferences. That is full disclosure of kernel memory.\\nI:H - The dangling `uc-\u003ehandler(uc, regs)` call in `handler_chain()` and the `prog-\u003ebpf_func()` dispatch reached through the freed `uprobe-\u003elink` give control-flow hijack from an attacker-sized, attacker-timed heap object, which is a standard route to arbitrary kernel write and privilege escalation.\\nA:H - Even without exploitation, walking the freed consumer list on the next breakpoint hit dereferences poisoned or reused slab memory, producing a KASAN slab-use-after-free and a kernel oops/panic \\u2014 exactly what syzbot reported.
