"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfbcon: Set fb_display[i]->mode to NULL when the mode is released\n\nRecently, we discovered the following issue through syzkaller:\n\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in fb_mode_is_equal+0x285/0x2f0\nRead of size 4 at addr ff11000001b3c69c by task syz.xxx\n...\nCall Trace:\n <TASK>\n dump_stack_lvl+0xab/0xe0\n print_address_description.constprop.0+0x2c/0x390\n print_report+0xb9/0x280\n kasan_report+0xb8/0xf0\n fb_mode_is_equal+0x285/0x2f0\n fbcon_mode_deleted+0x129/0x180\n fb_set_var+0xe7f/0x11d0\n do_fb_ioctl+0x6a0/0x750\n fb_ioctl+0xe0/0x140\n __x64_sys_ioctl+0x193/0x210\n do_syscall_64+0x5f/0x9c0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\n\nBased on experimentation and analysis, during framebuffer unregistration,\nonly the memory of fb_info->modelist is freed, without setting the\ncorresponding fb_display[i]->mode to NULL for the freed modes. This leads\nto UAF issues during subsequent accesses. Here's an example of reproduction\nsteps:\n1. With /dev/fb0 already registered in the system, load a kernel module\n to register a new device /dev/fb1;\n2. Set fb1's mode to the global fb_display[] array (via FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP);\n3. Switch console from fb to VGA (to allow normal rmmod of the ko);\n4. Unload the kernel module, at this point fb1's modelist is freed, leaving\n a wild pointer in fb_display[];\n5. Trigger the bug via system calls through fb0 attempting to delete a mode\n from fb0.\n\nAdd a check in do_unregister_framebuffer(): if the mode to be freed exists\nin fb_display[], set the corresponding mode pointer to NULL."

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached through `ioctl()` on the `/dev/fbN` character device (`FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO` / `FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP`), which requires local access to the system. There is no remote or network-facing path into fbcon.\nAC:L - Once a framebuffer has been unregistered leaving a stale `fb_display[i].mode`, triggering the use-after-free is a single deterministic ioctl with no race to win and no memory-layout condition outside the attacker's control. The attacker can additionally groom the freed `fb_modelist` slab with controlled allocations before dereferencing it.\nPR:L - No capability check exists anywhere in the fbdev ioctl path — access is governed solely by DAC on `/dev/fbN`, which logged-in seat users obtain via logind `uaccess` ACLs or `video`/`graphics` group membership on desktops, kiosks, embedded devices and Android. An unprivileged local user with a console/seat can issue every ioctl involved.\nUI:N - The attacker performs all steps himself via ioctls on the framebuffer device; no victim action is needed. The framebuffer unregistration that creates the stale pointer occurs through ordinary system events such as USB display/dock removal or DRM driver unbind.\nS:U - The corruption and its consequences are confined to kernel memory within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The use-after-free reads a freed slab object that the attacker can reallocate with chosen or sensitive kernel data, and `display_to_var()`/`fb_videomode_to_var()` copy ~15 fields out of it into `info->var`, which is then readable from userspace via `FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO` — a repeatable kernel heap disclosure primitive.\nI:H - A use-after-free on a groomable kmalloc object permits heap spraying and type confusion with the reallocated victim object; the freed contents also propagate into `fb_check_var`/`fb_set_par` and console resize arithmetic, corrupting kernel state and enabling escalation to control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The reported syzkaller report is a KASAN slab-use-after-free that oopses the task in `fb_mode_is_equal()`; dereferencing the dangling pointer after the slab page is returned to the page allocator produces a kernel panic, and the stale pointer can be re-triggered repeatedly."
