CVE-2024-26856

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: sparx5: corrige el use after free dentro de sparx5_del_mact_entry Según el análisis estático del código, parece que cuando se eliminó una entrada de la tabla MAC, la entrada todavía se usó después de ser liberado. Más precisamente, el video de mac_entry se usó después de llamar a devm_kfree en mac_entry. La solución consiste en utilizar primero el vid de mac_entry para eliminar la entrada del HW y luego liberarla.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: sparx5: Fix use after free inside sparx5_del_mact_entry Based on the static analyzis of the code it looks like when an entry from the MAC table was removed, the entry was still used after being freed. More precise the vid of the mac_entry was used after calling devm_kfree on the mac_entry. The fix consists in first using the vid of the mac_entry to delete the entry from the HW and after that to free it.

Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
