Title
af_unix: read UNIX_DIAG_VFS data under unix_state_lock
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: af_unix: read UNIX_DIAG_VFS data under unix_state_lock Exact UNIX diag lookups hold a reference to the socket, but not to u->path. Meanwhile, unix_release_sock() clears u->path under unix_state_lock() and drops the path reference after unlocking. Read the inode and device numbers for UNIX_DIAG_VFS while holding unix_state_lock(), then emit the netlink attribute after dropping the lock. This keeps the VFS data stable while the reply is being built.

No rare external condition is required beyond timing that can be retried.\nPR:L - Unprivileged users can create AF_UNIX sockets and NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG sockets, and the sock_diag netlink socket permits non-root diagnostic requests. No real root or init-namespace CAP_NET_ADMIN is required.\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require any victim action. The attacker can create, bind, query, unlink, and close the involved sockets directly.\nS:U - The bug is in the kernel AF_UNIX diagnostic path and impacts kernel resources within the same security authority. It is a standard local kernel vulnerability, not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary-crossing issue.\nC:H - The bug is a use-after-free/read-after-free of the AF_UNIX VFS path dentry, allowing stale kernel object pointers to be dereferenced and returned or used during netlink reply construction. Under the required kernel scoring guidance, UAFs are treated as high confidentiality impact.\nI:H - Although the immediate vulnerable operation reads VFS fields, it is a kernel use-after-free in attacker-controllable local object lifetime and race conditions. Following the required guidance and higher-severity rule, UAFs are scored as potentially enabling integrity compromise.\nA:H - The stale dentry or related VFS pointer can be dereferenced after path_put(), plausibly causing a kernel oops or panic. Repeated local triggering makes high availability impact defensible."

No rare external condition is required beyond timing that can be retried.\nPR:L - Unprivileged users can create AF_UNIX sockets and NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG sockets, and the sock_diag netlink socket permits non-root diagnostic requests. No real root or init-namespace CAP_NET_ADMIN is required.\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require any victim action. The attacker can create, bind, query, unlink, and close the involved sockets directly.\nS:U - The bug is in the kernel AF_UNIX diagnostic path and impacts kernel resources within the same security authority. It is a standard local kernel vulnerability, not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary-crossing issue.\nC:H - The bug is a use-after-free/read-after-free of the AF_UNIX VFS path dentry, allowing stale kernel object pointers to be dereferenced and returned or used during netlink reply construction. Under the required kernel scoring guidance, UAFs are treated as high confidentiality impact.\nI:H - Although the immediate vulnerable operation reads VFS fields, it is a kernel use-after-free in attacker-controllable local object lifetime and race conditions. Following the required guidance and higher-severity rule, UAFs are scored as potentially enabling integrity compromise.\nA:H - The stale dentry or related VFS pointer can be dereferenced after path_put(), plausibly causing a kernel oops or panic. Repeated local triggering makes high availability impact defensible."
