In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix use-after-free in bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach()
If bpf_link_prime() fails, bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach() goes to the error_free label and frees the array of bpf_uprobe's without calling bpf_uprobe_unregister().
This leaks bpf_uprobe->uprobe and worse, this frees bpf_uprobe->consumer without removing it from the uprobe->consumers list.
AnalysisAI
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix use-after-free in bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach() If bpf_link_prime() fails, bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach() goes to the. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This Use After Free vulnerability could allow attackers to access freed memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Use After Free (CWE-416), which allows attackers to access freed memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix use-after-free in bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach() If bpf_link_prime() fails, bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach() goes to the error_free label and frees the array of bpf_uprobe's without calling bpf_uprobe_unregister(). This leaks bpf_uprobe->uprobe and worse, this frees bpf_uprobe->consumer without removing it from the uprobe->consumers list. Affected products include: Linux Linux Kernel.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Use smart pointers or garbage-collected languages. Set pointers to NULL after freeing. Enable memory sanitizers.
