Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI/MSI: Fix UAF in msi_capability_init KFENCE reports the following UAF: BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in __pci_enable_msi_range+0x2c0/0x488 Use-after-free read at 0x0000000024629571 (in kfence-#12): __pci_enable_msi_range+0x2c0/0x488 pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity+0xec/0x14c pci_alloc_irq_vectors+0x18/0x28 kfence-#12: 0x0000000008614900-0x00000000e06c228d, size=104, cache=kmalloc-128 allocated by task 81 on cpu 7 at 10.808142s: __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x1f0/0x2bc kmalloc_trace+0x44/0x138 msi_alloc_desc+0x3c/0x9c msi_domain_insert_msi_desc+0x30/0x78 msi_setup_msi_desc+0x13c/0x184 __pci_enable_msi_range+0x258/0x488 pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity+0xec/0x14c pci_alloc_irq_vectors+0x18/0x28 freed by task 81 on cpu 7 at 10.811436s: msi_domain_free_descs+0xd4/0x10c msi_domain_free_locked.part.0+0xc0/0x1d8 msi_domain_alloc_irqs_all_locked+0xb4/0xbc pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs+0x30/0x4c __pci_enable_msi_range+0x2a8/0x488 pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity+0xec/0x14c pci_alloc_irq_vectors+0x18/0x28 Descriptor allocation done in: __pci_enable_msi_range msi_capability_init msi_setup_msi_desc msi_insert_msi_desc msi_domain_insert_msi_desc msi_alloc_desc ...

That failure propagates back to pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() in msi_capability_init() which accesses the descriptor for unmasking in the error exit path. Cure it by copying the descriptor and using the copy for the error exit path unmask operation. [ tglx: Massaged change log ]

Local access to a device file or the sysfs PCI interface is required.\nAC:L - Via VFIO the attacker directly controls the vector count passed to `pci_alloc_irq_vectors()` and can loop enable/disable indefinitely, and the required allocation failure (ITS device-table/LPI exhaustion, x86 vector exhaustion, or `-ENOMEM` in sysfs/irqdomain allocation) is inducible by attacker-created vector and memory pressure. The freed object lives in the generic sprayable `kmalloc-128` cache and the free path sleeps, so reclaim is not an uncontrollable race.\nPR:L - In the standard device-passthrough deployment the vfio group/device fd is handed to an unprivileged VMM account, and `vfio_pci_ioctl_set_irqs()` performs no capability check for the IOMMU-backed path (`CAP_SYS_RAWIO` gates only no-IOMMU mode). A basic local user holding that descriptor can drive `msi_capability_init()` repeatedly.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the MSI enable path entirely through their own ioctl calls, with no action by any other user or administrator required.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel slab memory and is confined to the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no IOMMU, hypervisor, or sandbox boundary is crossed by the defect itself.\nC:H - The freed `msi_desc` is read after free, including the `desc-\u003edev` pointer that is then dereferenced through `pci_write_config_dword()`; controlling the reclaimed `kmalloc-128` object turns this into an arbitrary kernel read primitive and full memory disclosure.\nI:H - `pci_msi_update_mask()` writes back into the freed object (`desc-\u003epci.msi_mask \u0026= ~clear`), corrupting whatever now occupies the slot, and dereferences `dev-\u003ebus-\u003eops-\u003ewrite` from freed memory \u2014 a control-flow hijack primitive enabling arbitrary write and code execution.\nA:H - The use-after-free dereferences stale pointers and takes a spinlock at an address read from freed memory, reliably producing an oops or kernel panic even when not weaponized, as confirmed by the KFENCE report in the fix commit."

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.

Related by attack behaviour

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
