| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls route component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. When
route4 change() is called on an existing filter, the whole tcf result struct is always copied into the new instance of the filter. This causes a problem when updating a filter bound to a class, as tcf unbind filter() is always called on the old instance in the success path, decreasing filter cnt of the still referenced class and allowing it to be deleted, leading to a use-after-free.Recommendations
Upgrade past commit b80b829e9e2c1b3f7aae34855e04d8f6ecaf13c8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
net/sched: cls route component until a patch is available.Exploit
