Title
ax25: fix use-after-free bugs caused by ax25_ds_del_timer
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ax25: fix use-after-free bugs caused by ax25_ds_del_timer
When the ax25 device is detaching, the ax25_dev_device_down()
calls ax25_ds_del_timer() to cleanup the slave_timer. When
the timer handler is running, the ax25_ds_del_timer() that
calls del_timer() in it will return directly. As a result,
the use-after-free bugs could happen, one of the scenarios
is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| ax25_ds_timeout()
ax25_dev_device_down() |
ax25_ds_del_timer() |
del_timer() |
ax25_dev_put() //FREE |
| ax25_dev-> //USE
In order to mitigate bugs, when the device is detaching, use
timer_shutdown_sync() to stop the timer.

"value": "AV:A - The DAMA slave timer that is used after free is armed and repeatedly re-armed solely by frames from a remote AX.25 peer (SABM with the DAMA bit at net/ax25/ax25_in.c:407, and DAMA polls via ax25_ds_enquiry_response() \u2192 mod_timer()), reached over a point-to-point RF link or bpqether on the local Ethernet segment.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the racing side \u2014 keeping a DAMA-slave link up makes ax25_ds_timeout() fire every second and lets the attacker drive mod_timer() from the RX softirq at frame rate, so the window against ax25_dev_device_down()\u0027s non-synchronous del_timer() can be hammered until it is hit, and a single re-arm after the free leaves an armed timer in freed memory.\nPR:N - AX.25 has no authentication whatsoever \u2014 the attacker only needs to transmit frames to a listening AX.25 port to turn on DAMA slave mode and arm the device timer; no account or credential on the target is involved.\nUI:N - No victim action on attacker-supplied content is needed; the free is triggered by a routine port/interface teardown (script-driven port cycling, TNC/serial or bpqether underlying device going down, module unload) while the attacker-maintained timer is active.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel heap memory managed by the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed ax25_dev is a kfree\u0027d slab object that can be reallocated and read back through the still-live timer handler, and the surviving armed timer_list gives an attacker-influenced read of freed/reallocated memory usable for kernel address and data disclosure.\nI:H - mod_timer() on the freed object writes into reallocated memory, and the timer core later loads and calls -\u003efunction from the freed ax25_dev, yielding a heap-spray-based control-flow hijack primitive and arbitrary kernel memory modification.\nA:H - Even unexploited, dereferencing and re-arming a timer embedded in freed memory reliably causes slab corruption, list corruption, and kernel oops/panic, taking the system down."
