Title
filelock: Remove locks reliably when fcntl/close race is detected
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
filelock: Remove locks reliably when fcntl/close race is detected
When fcntl_setlk() races with close(), it removes the created lock with
do_lock_file_wait().
However, LSMs can allow the first do_lock_file_wait() that created the lock
while denying the second do_lock_file_wait() that tries to remove the lock.
Separately, posix_lock_file() could also fail to
remove a lock due to GFP_KERNEL allocation failure (when splitting a range
in the middle).
After the bug has been triggered, use-after-free reads will occur in
lock_get_status() when userspace reads /proc/locks. This can likely be used
to read arbitrary kernel memory, but can't corrupt kernel memory.
Fix it by calling locks_remove_posix() instead, which is designed to
reliably get rid of POSIX locks associated with the given file and
files_struct and is also used by filp_flush().

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached only through the local `fcntl(F_SETLK/F_SETLKW)` syscall path in `fcntl_setlk()`, with the resulting use-after-free read triggered by reading the local `/proc/locks` file. Network file-lock consumers (nfsd, lockd, ksmbd) call `vfs_lock_file()` directly and never traverse the buggy recovery branch.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the fcntl/close race and can make it fully deterministic by blocking a second thread in `F_SETLKW` behind a conflicting lock it owns, closing the fd, then releasing the blocker. The failure of the recovery unlock is likewise attacker-inducible, either via an LSM policy asymmetry or by forcing the `GFP_KERNEL` allocation failure in the mid-range split path under attacker-generated memory pressure.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local user can call `fcntl()` on a file it can open and read the world-readable `/proc/locks` (confirmed mode `-r--r--r--`); no capability, user-namespace, or mount privilege is checked anywhere along the path.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step itself \u2014 creating the lock, racing the close, and reading `/proc/locks` \u2014 with no action required from any other user or process.\nS:U - The dangling `file_lock` and the resulting reads stay within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - `lock_get_status()` dereferences the freed `struct file` (`flc-\u003eflc_file-\u003ef_inode`) and prints `inode-\u003ei_sb-\u003es_dev` and `inode-\u003ei_ino` to userspace, giving a chosen-address read primitive once the freed slot is groomed \u2014 the fix author states this \"can likely be used to read arbitrary kernel memory.\"\nI:H - The use-after-free leaves permanently corrupted kernel lock state \u2014 a `file_lock` with dangling `flc_file` and `flc_owner` that can never be released, so a recycled `files_struct` at the same address grants an unrelated (possibly higher-privileged) process spurious ownership of the stale lock. Combined with the arbitrary-read primitive that defeats KASLR and exposes credentials/keys, the condition is leverageable toward privilege escalation.\nA:H - Reading `/proc/locks` after the freed page is reclaimed oopses the kernel, and the pre-fix `WARN_ON_ONCE()` panics outright on the `panic_on_warn` configurations common in hardened and Android deployments. The permanently un-releasable stale lock also blocks any other process waiting via `F_SETLKW` on that inode indefinitely."

This can likely be used\nto read arbitrary kernel memory, but can\u0027t corrupt kernel memory.\n\nFix it by calling locks_remove_posix() instead, which is designed to\nreliably get rid of POSIX locks associated with the given file and\nfiles_struct and is also used by filp_flush()."

Por separado, posix_lock_file() tambi\u00e9n podr\u00eda no eliminar un bloqueo debido a un fallo en la asignaci\u00f3n de GFP_KERNEL (al dividir un rango por la mitad). Despu\u00e9s de que se haya activado el error, se producir\u00e1n lecturas de use-after-free en lock_get_status() cuando el espacio de usuario lea /proc/locks. Es probable que esto se pueda usar para leer memoria del kernel arbitraria, pero no puede da\u00f1ar la memoria del kernel.

"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfilelock: Remove locks reliably when fcntl/close race is detected\n\nWhen fcntl_setlk() races with close(), it removes the created lock with\ndo_lock_file_wait().\nHowever, LSMs can allow the first do_lock_file_wait() that created the lock\nwhile denying the second do_lock_file_wait() that tries to remove the lock.\nSeparately, posix_lock_file() could also fail to\nremove a lock due to GFP_KERNEL allocation failure (when splitting a range\nin the middle).\n\nAfter the bug has been triggered, use-after-free reads will occur in\nlock_get_status() when userspace reads /proc/locks. This can likely be used\nto read arbitrary kernel memory, but can\u0027t corrupt kernel memory.\n\nFix it by calling locks_remove_posix() instead, which is designed to\nreliably get rid of POSIX locks associated with the given file and\nfiles_struct and is also used by filp_flush()."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
