Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-12-24 13:16 - Updated: 2026-10-15 22:17
Severity
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: fix UAF issue in nfqnl_nf_hook_drop() when ops_init() failed When the ops_init() interface is invoked to initialize the net, but ops->init() fails, data is released. However, the ptr pointer in net->gen is invalid. In this case, when nfqnl_nf_hook_drop() is invoked to release the net, invalid address access occurs. The process is as follows: setup_net() ops_init() data = kzalloc(...) ---> alloc "data" net_assign_generic() ---> assign "date" to ptr in net->gen ... ops->init() ---> failed ... kfree(data); ---> ptr in net->gen is invalid ... ops_exit_list() ... nfqnl_nf_hook_drop() *q = nfnl_queue_pernet(net) ---> q is invalid The following is the Call Trace information: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in nfqnl_nf_hook_drop+0x264/0x280 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88810396b240 by task ip/15855 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x8e/0xd1 print_report+0x155/0x454 kasan_report+0xba/0x1f0 nfqnl_nf_hook_drop+0x264/0x280 nf_queue_nf_hook_drop+0x8b/0x1b0 __nf_unregister_net_hook+0x1ae/0x5a0 nf_unregister_net_hooks+0xde/0x130 ops_exit_list+0xb0/0x170 setup_net+0x7ac/0xbd0 copy_net_ns+0x2e6/0x6b0 create_new_namespaces+0x382/0xa50 unshare_nsproxy_namespaces+0xa6/0x1c0 ksys_unshare+0x3a4/0x7e0 __x64_sys_unshare+0x2d/0x40 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 </TASK> Allocated by task 15855: kasan_save_stack+0x1e/0x40 kasan_set_track+0x21/0x30 __kasan_kmalloc+0xa1/0xb0 __kmalloc+0x49/0xb0 ops_init+0xe7/0x410 setup_net+0x5aa/0xbd0 copy_net_ns+0x2e6/0x6b0 create_new_namespaces+0x382/0xa50 unshare_nsproxy_namespaces+0xa6/0x1c0 ksys_unshare+0x3a4/0x7e0 __x64_sys_unshare+0x2d/0x40 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 Freed by task 15855: kasan_save_stack+0x1e/0x40 kasan_set_track+0x21/0x30 kasan_save_free_info+0x2a/0x40 ____kasan_slab_free+0x155/0x1b0 slab_free_freelist_hook+0x11b/0x220 __kmem_cache_free+0xa4/0x360 ops_init+0xb9/0x410 setup_net+0x5aa/0xbd0 copy_net_ns+0x2e6/0x6b0 create_new_namespaces+0x382/0xa50 unshare_nsproxy_namespaces+0xa6/0x1c0 ksys_unshare+0x3a4/0x7e0 __x64_sys_unshare+0x2d/0x40 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

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.
