Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The Linux kernel contains a use-after-free issue within the nbd genl connect function. This occurs when handling NBD CMD CONNECT and NBD CLEAR SOCK operations, specifically related to the
config refs counter. The issue arises from a potential race condition where the configuration reference count is decremented to zero before it is used, leading to a use-after-free condition. A delay introduced before incrementing the reference count in nbd genl connect() can reproduce the problem. The vulnerable function is nbd genl connect().Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
