Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: brd: defer automatic disk creation until module initialization succeeds My colleague Wupeng found the following problems during fault injection: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff809d073 PGD 6e648067 P4D 123ec8067 PUD 123ec4067 PMD 100e38067 PTE 0 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN NOPTI CPU: 5 UID: 0 PID: 755 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 6.12.0-rc3+ #17 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.1-2.fc37 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:__asan_load8+0x4c/0xa0 ...

This can cause UAF for the latter two case: case 1: T1: modprobe brd brd_init brd_alloc(0) // success add_disk disk_scan_partitions bdev_file_open_by_dev // alloc file fput // won't free until back to userspace brd_alloc(1) // failed since mem alloc error inject // error path for modprobe will release code segment // back to userspace __fput blkdev_release bdev_release blkdev_put_whole bdev->bd_disk->fops->release // fops is freed now, UAF! case 2: T1: T2: modprobe brd brd_init brd_alloc(0) // success open(/dev/ram0) brd_alloc(1) // fail // error path for modprobe close(/dev/ram0) ... /* UAF! */ bdev->bd_disk->fops->release Fix this problem by following what loop_init() does. Besides, reintroduce brd_devices_mutex to help serialize modifications to brd_list.

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.
