Title
nbd: defer config unlock in nbd_genl_connect
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nbd: defer config unlock in nbd_genl_connect
There is one use-after-free warning when running NBD_CMD_CONNECT and
NBD_CLEAR_SOCK:
nbd_genl_connect
nbd_alloc_and_init_config // config_refs=1
nbd_start_device // config_refs=2
set NBD_RT_HAS_CONFIG_REF open nbd // config_refs=3
recv_work done // config_refs=2
NBD_CLEAR_SOCK // config_refs=1
close nbd // config_refs=0
refcount_inc -> uaf
------------[ cut here ]------------
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 24 PID: 1014 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x12e/0x290
nbd_genl_connect+0x16d0/0x1ab0
genl_family_rcv_msg_doit+0x1f3/0x310
genl_rcv_msg+0x44a/0x790
The issue can be easily reproduced by adding a small delay before
refcount_inc(&nbd->config_refs) in nbd_genl_connect():
mutex_unlock(&nbd->config_lock);
if (!ret) {
set_bit(NBD_RT_HAS_CONFIG_REF, &config->runtime_flags);
+ printk("before sleep\n");
+ mdelay(5 * 1000);
+ printk("after sleep\n");
refcount_inc(&nbd->config_refs);
nbd_connect_reply(info, nbd->index);
}
Severity

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.
