FKIE_CVE-2025-40149

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-11-12 11:15 - Updated: 2026-10-19 21:10

Severity

7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
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: tls: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in get_netdev_for_sock(). get_netdev_for_sock() is called during setsockopt(), so not under RCU. Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF. Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu(). Note that the only ->ndo_sk_get_lower_dev() user is bond_sk_get_lower_dev(), which uses RCU.

The racing `dst_dev_put()` side likewise requires local netlink link/route teardown, so the entire attack is delivered through local syscalls.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race \u2014 one thread repeatedly issues `setsockopt(TLS_TX)` on TCP sockets whose `sk_dst_cache` points at a veth while another deletes that veth in the attacker\u0027s own netns \u2014 and can retry indefinitely until the window between reading `dst-\u003edev` and the `netdev_ref_replace()`/free is hit. `CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE` is a routinely enabled distro option, and the vulnerable read happens before any NIC-capability or `IFF_UP` gate, so no special hardware is required.\nPR:L - An ordinary unprivileged local account suffices: attaching the tls ULP and calling `setsockopt(SOL_TLS, ...)` requires no capability once the ULP is registered (the `capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN)` check in `__tcp_ulp_find_autoload()` gates only module autoload), and the CAP_NET_ADMIN needed to create and delete the veth is obtained in the attacker\u0027s own user+net namespace via `unshare -Urn`, not real root.\nUI:N - Exploitation is driven entirely by the attacker\u0027s own threads issuing socket syscalls and netlink link/route operations; no victim action, mount, or file open is involved.\nS:U - The use-after-free is on a kernel `struct net_device` and its consequences remain within the kernel\u0027s own security authority, with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free on a freed, heap-sprayable `net_device`: `netdev_sk_get_lower_dev()` reads `dev-\u003enetdev_ops` from freed memory and the caller subsequently reads `netdev-\u003efeatures` and `netdev-\u003eflags`, whose values are observable through the setsockopt return code and the resulting offload state, giving an attacker-groomable read of reclaimed kernel memory.\nI:H - The freed object is used for two indirect calls \u2014 `ops-\u003endo_sk_get_lower_dev(dev, sk)` and later `netdev-\u003etlsdev_ops-\u003etls_dev_add(...)` \u2014 both function pointers loaded out of reclaimed memory, and `dev_hold(lowest_dev)` performs a refcount increment inside the freed allocation, together yielding control-flow-hijack and write primitives once the slab is sprayed.\nA:H - Dereferencing and indirect-calling through a freed `net_device` reliably oopses the kernel even when not weaponized, and the race is repeatable at will by an unprivileged local user for a persistent denial of service."

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.
