Title
dst: fix races in rt6_uncached_list_del() and rt_del_uncached_list()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dst: fix races in rt6_uncached_list_del() and rt_del_uncached_list() syzbot was able to crash the kernel in rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() in an interesting way [1] Crash happens in list_del_init()/INIT_LIST_HEAD() while writing list->prev, while the prior write on list->next went well. static inline void INIT_LIST_HEAD(struct list_head *list) { WRITE_ONCE(list->next, list); // This went well WRITE_ONCE(list->prev, list); // Crash, @list has been freed. } Issue here is that rt6_uncached_list_del() did not attempt to lock ul->lock, as list_empty(&rt->dst.rt_uncached) returned true because the WRITE_ONCE(list->next, list) happened on the other CPU. We might use list_del_init_careful() and list_empty_careful(), or make sure rt6_uncached_list_del() always grabs the spinlock whenever rt->dst.rt_uncached_list has been set. A similar fix is neeed for IPv4.

A local attacker can use user namespaces to obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN in a new network namespace and drive route creation plus device/netns teardown.\nAC:L - The bug is a race, but the attacker can plausibly control both sides by repeatedly creating/freeing uncached dst objects and concurrently tearing down devices or network namespaces. No rare external condition is required beyond normal kernel scheduling.\nPR:L - The relevant device and route teardown paths require CAP_NET_ADMIN, but rtnetlink checks it against the target network namespace user_ns. An unprivileged local user can obtain those capabilities in a user-created network namespace on systems allowing user namespaces.\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require a victim user to open a file, mount anything, or perform an action. The attacker can trigger the route allocation/free and teardown sequence directly.\nS:U - The corruption occurs inside the host kernel networking stack and impacts resources governed by the same kernel security authority. It is not a guest-to-host escape or other cross-scope boundary bypass.\nC:H - This is a slab use-after-free involving dst/route objects, and kernel UAF memory corruption can be leveraged with heap shaping for disclosure primitives. When uncertain, the higher severity confidentiality impact is appropriate.\nI:H - The race causes a write through list_del_init into freed route memory, creating kernel heap corruption. Such UAF writes are plausibly exploitable for arbitrary write or control-flow corruption, so integrity impact is high.\nA:H - The upstream report demonstrates a KASAN slab-use-after-free crash in rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev during netns cleanup. Repeated triggering can crash or destabilize the kernel."

No rare external condition is required beyond normal kernel scheduling.\nPR:L - The relevant device and route teardown paths require CAP_NET_ADMIN, but rtnetlink checks it against the target network namespace user_ns. An unprivileged local user can obtain those capabilities in a user-created network namespace on systems allowing user namespaces.\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require a victim user to open a file, mount anything, or perform an action. The attacker can trigger the route allocation/free and teardown sequence directly.\nS:U - The corruption occurs inside the host kernel networking stack and impacts resources governed by the same kernel security authority. It is not a guest-to-host escape or other cross-scope boundary bypass.\nC:H - This is a slab use-after-free involving dst/route objects, and kernel UAF memory corruption can be leveraged with heap shaping for disclosure primitives. When uncertain, the higher severity confidentiality impact is appropriate.\nI:H - The race causes a write through list_del_init into freed route memory, creating kernel heap corruption. Such UAF writes are plausibly exploitable for arbitrary write or control-flow corruption, so integrity impact is high.\nA:H - The upstream report demonstrates a KASAN slab-use-after-free crash in rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev during netns cleanup. Repeated triggering can crash or destabilize the kernel."

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.
