Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ax25: fix use-after-free bugs caused by ax25_ds_del_timer When the ax25 device is detaching, the ax25_dev_device_down()
calls ax25_ds_del_timer() to cleanup the slave_timer. When
the timer handler is running, the ax25_ds_del_timer() that
calls del_timer() in it will return directly. As a result,
the use-after-free bugs could happen, one of the scenarios
is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) | ax25_ds_timeout()
ax25_dev_device_down() | ax25_ds_del_timer() | del_timer() | ax25_dev_put() //FREE | | ax25_dev-> //USE In order to mitigate bugs, when the device is detaching, use
timer_shutdown_sync() to stop the timer.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ax25: corrige errores de use after free causados por ax25_ds_del_timer Cuando el dispositivo ax25 se está desconectando, ax25_dev_device_down() llama a ax25_ds_del_timer() para limpiar el Slave_timer. Cuando el controlador del temporizador se está ejecutando, el ax25_ds_del_timer() que llama a del_timer() regresará directamente. Como resultado, podrían ocurrir errores de uso después de la liberación, uno de los escenarios se muestra a continuación: (Subproceso 1) | (Hilo 2) | ax25_ds_timeout() ax25_dev_device_down() | ax25_ds_del_timer() | del_timer() | ax25_dev_put() //GRATIS | | ax25_dev-> //USE Para mitigar errores, cuando el dispositivo se esté desconectando, use timer_shutdown_sync() para detener el temporizador.

Ye Zhang and Nicolas Wu discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle locking for rings with IOPOLL, leading to a double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
