Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: fix UAF in cleanup_bearer() due to premature dst_cache_destroy() TIPC UDP media bearer teardown calls dst_cache_destroy() on its replicast caches before calling synchronize_net() to wait for concurrent RCU readers (transmitters) to finish: static void cleanup_bearer(struct work_struct *work) { ... list_for_each_entry_safe(rcast, tmp, &ub->rcast.list, list) { dst_cache_destroy(&rcast->dst_cache); list_del_rcu(&rcast->list); kfree_rcu(rcast, rcu); } ... dst_cache_destroy(&ub->rcast.dst_cache); udp_tunnel_sock_release(ub->sk); synchronize_net(); ... } This is highly buggy because dst_cache_destroy() immediately frees the per-CPU cache memory (free_percpu()) and releases the cached dst entries without any synchronization. If a concurrent transmitter (e.g., tipc_udp_xmit()) is running on another CPU under RCU protection, it can call dst_cache_get() concurrently, leading to: 1. Use-After-Free on the per-CPU cache pointer itself (crash). 2. "rcuref - imbalanced put()" warning if it attempts to release a dst that was concurrently released by dst_cache_destroy(). Furthermore, calling kfree(ub) immediately after synchronize_net() without closing the socket first (or waiting after closing it) leaves a window where a concurrent receiver (tipc_udp_recv()) could start after synchronize_net(), access ub, and suffer a UAF when kfree(ub) runs. To fix this, we must defer dst_cache_destroy() and kfree(ub) until after we have ensured that no more readers can see the bearer/socket and all existing readers have finished: 1. Defer rcast entry destruction (both dst_cache_destroy() and kfree()) to an RCU callback using call_rcu_hurry(). Using call_rcu_hurry() ensures the dst entries are released quickly. 2. Release the bearer socket using udp_tunnel_sock_release() (stops new receive readers). 3. Call synchronize_net() to wait for all outstanding RCU readers (both transmit and receive) to finish. 4. Now that it is safe, call dst_cache_destroy() on the main bearer cache, and free ub. Note: 3) and 4) can be changed later in net-next to also use call_rcu_hurry() and get rid of the synchronize_net() latency.

remote UDP/TIPC peers cannot initiate teardown, so exploitation requires local netlink/netns access even though concurrent xmit/recv may involve network I/O.\\nAC:L - An attacker with namespace CAP_NET_ADMIN can script both teardown and concurrent traffic (enable/disable bearer or destroy netns while sending/receiving TIPC UDP on port 6118), controlling both sides of the RCU race; dst_cache_destroy()\u0027s free_percpu() widens the window and syzbot triggered it reliably.\\nPR:L - Bearer disable/enable and netns teardown require CAP_NET_ADMIN; TIPC genetlink ops use GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM and tipc_genl_family.netnsok=true, so unprivileged users obtain effective net-admin capability via user/network namespaces (unshare -Urn).\\nUI:N - Exploitation needs no victim interaction beyond the attacker\u0027s own namespace/netlink operations and packet generation; no mount, file open, or other user-directed action is required.\\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap memory within the same kernel security domain; impacts are kernel crash or local privilege escalation, not VM escape or cross-security-authority boundary crossing.\\nC:H - Premature dst_cache_destroy() frees per-CPU cache memory while concurrent tipc_udp_xmit() may call dst_cache_get() on the freed object, and the post-synchronize_net() recv path dereferences freed udp_bearer, enabling kernel memory disclosure.\\nI:H - UAF on dst_cache structures and udp_bearer allows heap shaping and control of freed-object contents, providing primitives for arbitrary kernel writes and potential control-flow hijacking/local privilege escalation.\\nA:H - Concurrent use-after-free reliably causes kernel oops/panic (per commit: UAF on per-CPU cache pointer crashes) and can be triggered repeatedly during scripted bearer teardown loops.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"e9c1a793210f29f32ee4cf048e04d7d9bb3221cc\", \"lessThan\": \"6aeb4ba4fb098199e13723cfd04d9a749741f731\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"e9c1a793210f29f32ee4cf048e04d7d9bb3221cc\", \"lessThan\": \"6b0e29f7662c237e717f35dad746efe94715d0da\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"e9c1a793210f29f32ee4cf048e04d7d9bb3221cc\", \"lessThan\": \"3827ff67f9fbecd1086e33d23693ef6a1a9c6c38\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"e9c1a793210f29f32ee4cf048e04d7d9bb3221cc\", \"lessThan\": \"1c8393eefa3cadf4ca0b61119ad1321aa32d3c8c\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"e9c1a793210f29f32ee4cf048e04d7d9bb3221cc\", \"lessThan\": \"7116764ca53ff529335d7ab7c364a69f094b23a5\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"net/tipc/udp_media.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"5.3\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"5.3\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.160\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.12.114\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.18.57\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.1.5\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.2\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"net/tipc/udp_media.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6aeb4ba4fb098199e13723cfd04d9a749741f731\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6b0e29f7662c237e717f35dad746efe94715d0da\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3827ff67f9fbecd1086e33d23693ef6a1a9c6c38\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1c8393eefa3cadf4ca0b61119ad1321aa32d3c8c\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7116764ca53ff529335d7ab7c364a69f094b23a5\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\ntipc: fix UAF in cleanup_bearer() due to premature dst_cache_destroy()\\n\\nTIPC UDP media bearer teardown calls dst_cache_destroy() on its\\nreplicast caches before calling synchronize_net() to wait for\\nconcurrent RCU readers (transmitters) to finish:\\n\\nstatic void cleanup_bearer(struct work_struct *work)\\n{\\n...\\n\\tlist_for_each_entry_safe(rcast, tmp, \u0026ub-\u003ercast.list, list) {\\n\\t\\tdst_cache_destroy(\u0026rcast-\u003edst_cache);\\n\\t\\tlist_del_rcu(\u0026rcast-\u003elist);\\n\\t\\tkfree_rcu(rcast, rcu);\\n\\t}\\n...\\n\\tdst_cache_destroy(\u0026ub-\u003ercast.dst_cache);\\n\\tudp_tunnel_sock_release(ub-\u003esk);\\n\\tsynchronize_net();\\n...\\n}\\n\\nThis is highly buggy because dst_cache_destroy() immediately frees the\\nper-CPU cache memory (free_percpu()) and releases the cached dst\\nentries without any synchronization.\\n\\nIf a concurrent transmitter (e.g., tipc_udp_xmit()) is running on another\\nCPU under RCU protection, it can call dst_cache_get() concurrently,\\nleading to:\\n1.
