5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
genirq/irqdesc: Prevent use-after-free in irq_find_at_or_after()
irq_find_at_or_after() dereferences the interrupt descriptor which is
returned by mt_find() while neither holding sparse_irq_lock nor RCU read
lock, which means the descriptor can be freed between mt_find() and the
dereference:
CPU0 CPU1
desc = mt_find()
delayed_free_desc(desc)
irq_desc_get_irq(desc)
The use-after-free is reported by KASAN:
Call trace:
irq_get_next_irq+0x58/0x84
show_stat+0x638/0x824
seq_read_iter+0x158/0x4ec
proc_reg_read_iter+0x94/0x12c
vfs_read+0x1e0/0x2c8
Freed by task 4471:
slab_free_freelist_hook+0x174/0x1e0
__kmem_cache_free+0xa4/0x1dc
kfree+0x64/0x128
irq_kobj_release+0x28/0x3c
kobject_put+0xcc/0x1e0
delayed_free_desc+0x14/0x2c
rcu_do_batch+0x214/0x720
Guard the access with a RCU read lock section.

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.
