Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ieee802154: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in ieee802154_create() sock_init_data() attaches the allocated sk object to the provided sock object. If ieee802154_create() fails later, the allocated sk object is freed, but the dangling pointer remains in the provided sock object, which may allow use-after-free. Clear the sk pointer in the sock object on error.

Despite the subsystem being a wireless PAN stack, the defect itself is in socket setup, not in frame processing.\nAC:H - The dangling pointer is only produced when `sk-\u003esk_prot-\u003ehash()` or `-\u003einit()` returns non-zero, but `raw_hash()`, `dgram_hash()` and `dgram_init()` all unconditionally `return 0` in every affected version (2.6.31\u20136.12) and the raw proto has no `.init`, so the error branch is unreachable and the attacker cannot influence it.\nPR:L - Creating a `SOCK_DGRAM` AF_IEEE802154 socket needs no capability at all, so any unprivileged local user reaches `ieee802154_create()`; note the `!net_eq(net, \u0026init_net)` guard means the call must be made in the initial netns, so user namespaces do not lower this further but also are not needed.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the whole sequence with a single `socket()` syscall from its own process. No victim action or interaction is involved.\nS:U - The freed `struct sock`/`struct dgram_sock` and the stale `sock-\u003esk` reference both live entirely within the kernel\u0027s own security authority. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Per the use-after-free rubric, a stale `sock-\u003esk` reference to a freed `dgram_sock` in the kmalloc-general caches would let an attacker reclaim the slab and read back attacker-shaped or leftover kernel data through subsequent socket operations.\nI:H - The same dangling reference would allow heap spraying of the reclaimed slot, giving control over function-pointer-bearing fields (`sk_prot`, `sk_destruct`, `sk_wq`) and thus a control-flow-hijack primitive rather than a mere data corruption.\nA:H - Any dereference of the freed `sock-\u003esk` would fault or corrupt the socket hash lists, producing an oops or panic; the rubric treats all use-after-free conditions as high availability impact even when only partially exploited."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
