Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-07-23 08:15 - Updated: 2026-08-04 11:19

Severity

7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
6.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: filelock: Remove locks reliably when fcntl/close race is detected When fcntl_setlk() races with close(), it removes the created lock with do_lock_file_wait(). However, LSMs can allow the first do_lock_file_wait() that created the lock while denying the second do_lock_file_wait() that tries to remove the lock. Separately, posix_lock_file() could also fail to remove a lock due to GFP_KERNEL allocation failure (when splitting a range in the middle). After the bug has been triggered, use-after-free reads will occur in lock_get_status() when userspace reads /proc/locks. This can likely be used to read arbitrary kernel memory, but can't corrupt kernel memory. Fix it by calling locks_remove_posix() instead, which is designed to reliably get rid of POSIX locks associated with the given file and files_struct and is also used by filp_flush().

Despu\u00e9s de que se haya activado el error, se producir\u00e1n lecturas de use-after-free en lock_get_status() cuando el espacio de usuario lea /proc/locks. Es probable que esto se pueda usar para leer memoria del kernel arbitraria, pero no puede da\u00f1ar la memoria del kernel. Solucionelo llamando a locks_remove_posix() en su lugar, que est\u00e1 dise\u00f1ado para deshacerse de manera confiable de los bloqueos POSIX asociados con el archivo dado y files_struct y tambi\u00e9n lo usa filp_flush()."

This can likely be used\nto read arbitrary kernel memory, but can\u0027t corrupt kernel memory.\n\nFix it by calling locks_remove_posix() instead, which is designed to\nreliably get rid of POSIX locks associated with the given file and\nfiles_struct and is also used by filp_flush()."

Network file-lock consumers (nfsd, lockd, ksmbd) call `vfs_lock_file()` directly and never traverse the buggy recovery branch.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the fcntl/close race and can make it fully deterministic by blocking a second thread in `F_SETLKW` behind a conflicting lock it owns, closing the fd, then releasing the blocker. The failure of the recovery unlock is likewise attacker-inducible, either via an LSM policy asymmetry or by forcing the `GFP_KERNEL` allocation failure in the mid-range split path under attacker-generated memory pressure.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local user can call `fcntl()` on a file it can open and read the world-readable `/proc/locks` (confirmed mode `-r--r--r--`); no capability, user-namespace, or mount privilege is checked anywhere along the path.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step itself \u2014 creating the lock, racing the close, and reading `/proc/locks` \u2014 with no action required from any other user or process.\nS:U - The dangling `file_lock` and the resulting reads stay within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - `lock_get_status()` dereferences the freed `struct file` (`flc-\u003eflc_file-\u003ef_inode`) and prints `inode-\u003ei_sb-\u003es_dev` and `inode-\u003ei_ino` to userspace, giving a chosen-address read primitive once the freed slot is groomed \u2014 the fix author states this \"can likely be used to read arbitrary kernel memory.\"\nI:H - The use-after-free leaves permanently corrupted kernel lock state \u2014 a `file_lock` with dangling `flc_file` and `flc_owner` that can never be released, so a recycled `files_struct` at the same address grants an unrelated (possibly higher-privileged) process spurious ownership of the stale lock. Combined with the arbitrary-read primitive that defeats KASLR and exposes credentials/keys, the condition is leverageable toward privilege escalation.\nA:H - Reading `/proc/locks` after the freed page is reclaimed oopses the kernel, and the pre-fix `WARN_ON_ONCE()` panics outright on the `panic_on_warn` configurations common in hardened and Android deployments. The permanently un-releasable stale lock also blocks any other process waiting via `F_SETLKW` on that inode indefinitely."
