DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mana: Null service_wq on setup error to prevent double destroy

In mana_gd_setup() error path, set gc->service_wq to NULL after destroy_workqueue() to match the cleanup in mana_gd_cleanup(). This prevents a use-after-free if the workqueue pointer is checked after a failed setup.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation potential in the Linux kernel's Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (mana) driver allows a low-privileged local user to trigger a use-after-free via a double destroy_workqueue() call on the gc->service_wq pointer when mana_gd_setup() fails. The flaw, fixed in the 6.18.x and 6.19.x stable trees, has no public exploit identified at time of analysis and an EPSS of 0.02% (4th percentile), but carries a CVSS of 7.8 due to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact within the kernel.

Sign in for full analysis, threat intelligence, and remediation guidance.

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: identify all Azure VMs running kernel versions prior to 6.18.x and 6.19.x. Within 7 days: test and stage kernel patches (update to Linux kernel 6.18.x or 6.19.x stable releases) in non-production environment. …
