"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Fix race in devmap on PREEMPT_RT\n\nOn PREEMPT_RT kernels, the per-CPU xdp_dev_bulk_queue (bq) can be\naccessed concurrently by multiple preemptible tasks on the same CPU.\n\nThe original code assumes bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush() run atomically\nwith respect to each other on the same CPU, relying on\nlocal_bh_disable() to prevent preemption. However, on PREEMPT_RT,\nlocal_bh_disable() only calls migrate_disable() (when\nPREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK is not set) and does not disable\npreemption, which allows CFS scheduling to preempt a task during\nbq_xmit_all(), enabling another task on the same CPU to enter\nbq_enqueue() and operate on the same per-CPU bq concurrently.\n\nThis leads to several races:\n\n1. Double-free / use-after-free on bq->q[]: bq_xmit_all() snapshots\n cnt = bq->count, then iterates bq->q[0..cnt-1] to transmit frames.\n If preempted after the snapshot, a second task can call bq_enqueue()\n -> bq_xmit_all() on the same bq, transmitting (and freeing) the\n same frames. When the first task resumes, it operates on stale\n pointers in bq->q[], causing use-after-free.\n\n2. bq->count and bq->q[] corruption: concurrent bq_enqueue() modifying\n bq->count and bq->q[] while bq_xmit_all() is reading them.\n\n3. dev_rx/xdp_prog teardown race: __dev_flush() clears bq->dev_rx and\n bq->xdp_prog after bq_xmit_all(). If preempted between\n bq_xmit_all() return and bq->dev_rx = NULL, a preempting\n bq_enqueue() sees dev_rx still set (non-NULL), skips adding bq to\n the flush_list, and enqueues a frame. When __dev_flush() resumes,\n it clears dev_rx and removes bq from the flush_list, orphaning the\n newly enqueued frame.\n\n4. __list_del_clearprev() on flush_node: similar to the cpumap race,\n both tasks can call __list_del_clearprev() on the same flush_node,\n the second dereferences the prev pointer already set to NULL.\n\nThe race between task A (__dev_flush -> bq_xmit_all) and task B\n(bq_enqueue -> bq_xmit_all) on the same CPU:\n\n Task A (xdp_do_flush) Task B (ndo_xdp_xmit redirect)\n ---------------------- --------------------------------\n __dev_flush(flush_list)\n bq_xmit_all(bq)\n cnt = bq->count /* e.g. 16 */\n /* start iterating bq->q[] */\n <-- CFS preempts Task A -->\n bq_enqueue(dev, xdpf)\n bq->count == DEV_MAP_BULK_SIZE\n bq_xmit_all(bq, 0)\n cnt = bq->count /* same 16! */\n ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[])\n /* frames freed by driver */\n bq->count = 0\n <-- Task A resumes -->\n ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[])\n /* use-after-free: frames already freed! */\n\nFix this by adding a local_lock_t to xdp_dev_bulk_queue and acquiring\nit in bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush(). These paths already run under\nlocal_bh_disable(), so use local_lock_nested_bh() which on non-RT is\na pure annotation with no overhead, and on PREEMPT_RT provides a\nper-CPU sleeping lock that serializes access to the bq."

"value": "AV:L - Exploiting this vulnerability requires loading a BPF XDP program and creating a devmap, which is done via local syscalls (bpf() syscall and rtnetlink). This is not remotely reachable.\nAC:H - The vulnerability only manifests on PREEMPT_RT kernels, which is a non-default, EXPERT-only kernel configuration. This is a condition entirely beyond the attacker's control. Most deployed kernels do not use PREEMPT_RT.\nPR:L - Loading XDP programs and creating DEVMAPs requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, which can be obtained via user namespaces (unshare -Urn creates a network namespace where the user has CAP_NET_ADMIN). This makes it reachable by unprivileged local users.\nUI:N - No user interaction is required. The attacker can set up the XDP program, devmap, and trigger the race condition entirely on their own.\nS:U - The vulnerability affects the kernel within the same security authority. There is no cross-boundary escape (no VM escape, no IOMMU bypass).\nC:H - The use-after-free allows the attacker to control freed object contents via heap spraying, potentially enabling arbitrary kernel memory reads.\nI:H - The use-after-free on bq->q[] combined with count/array corruption provides write primitives that could be leveraged for control flow hijacking and arbitrary code execution in kernel context.\nA:H - The use-after-free and list corruption will reliably cause kernel crashes (oops/panic) when stale pointers in bq->q[] are dereferenced after being freed."
