Title
net: dev_ioctl: take ops lock in hwtstamp lower paths
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: dev_ioctl: take ops lock in hwtstamp lower paths ndo hwtstamp callbacks are expected to run under the per-device ops lock. Make the lower get/set paths consistent with the rest of ndo invocations. Kernel log: WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 51364 at ./include/net/netdev_lock.h:70 __netdev_update_features+0x4bd/0xe60 ...

No remote or adjacent network input reaches this path.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls one side of the race (spamming the unlocked ioctl in a tight loop) and can drive the other side by triggering device reconfiguration/VF resets or racing concurrent netdev-genl queue operations that take only `dev-\u003elock`; no attacker-uncontrollable precondition is required beyond a bond/VLAN/macvlan over an ops-locked NIC, which is a standard datacenter/cloud configuration.\nPR:L - `SIOCGHWTSTAMP` passes through `dev_ioctl`\u0027s default case with no capability check whatsoever, so any unprivileged local user reaches the unlocked lower-device ndo call; `SIOCSHWTSTAMP` requires only `ns_capable(net-\u003euser_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)`, which an unprivileged user obtains via user namespaces or holds inside a container netns.\nUI:N - The ioctl is issued directly by the attacker\u0027s own process; no victim action, mount, or file open is needed.\nS:U - The missing lock and its consequences are entirely within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The unserialized `ndo_hwtstamp_get`/`set` racing against `iavf_free_queues()`/queue reconfiguration yields use-after-free access to freed kernel heap objects, which is leverageable to read reclaimed kernel memory, and the get path can return torn driver state.\nI:H - The race produces a use-after-free read-modify-write (`adapter-\u003erx_rings[i].flags |= ...`) into a freed or reallocated array, and an out-of-bounds write once `num_active_queues` changes underneath the loop \u2014 a controllable kernel heap write primitive usable for privilege escalation.\nA:H - The missing lock trips `netdev_ops_assert_locked()`, producing a WARNING splat that panics on `panic_on_warn` systems, and the underlying use-after-free/NULL-deref on `adapter-\u003erx_rings` crashes the kernel outright."

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.

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.

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
