"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndm: clear cloned request bio pointer when last clone bio completes\n\nStale rq->bio values have been observed to cause double-initialization of\ncloned bios in request-based device-mapper targets, leading to\nuse-after-free and double-free scenarios.\n\nOne such case occurs when using dm-multipath on top of a PCIe NVMe\nnamespace, where cloned request bios are freed during\nblk_complete_request(), but rq->bio is left intact. Subsequent clone\nteardown then attempts to free the same bios again via\nblk_rq_unprep_clone().\n\nThe resulting double-free path looks like:\n\n nvme_pci_complete_batch()\n nvme_complete_batch()\n blk_mq_end_request_batch()\n blk_complete_request() // called on a DM clone request\n bio_endio() // first free of all clone bios\n ...\n rq->end_io() // end_clone_request()\n dm_complete_request(tio->orig)\n dm_softirq_done()\n dm_done()\n dm_end_request()\n blk_rq_unprep_clone() // second free of clone bios\n\nFix this by clearing the clone request's bio pointer when the last cloned\nbio completes, ensuring that later teardown paths do not attempt to free\nalready-released bios."

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable request-based device-mapper path is reached by local block I/O, such as reads or writes to a filesystem backed by dm-multipath. It is not itself a network protocol handler, even though network services may indirectly generate disk I/O.\nAC:L - On an affected request-based dm-multipath stack over blk-mq/NVMe, ordinary I/O can drive the deterministic completion path that frees the clone bios and then tears down the clone. No attacker-uncontrolled race is required.\nPR:L - Creating or reconfiguring DM devices requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but triggering the bug only requires the ability to issue I/O to an existing affected mapped device, for example through files the local user can read or write. Thus a basic unprivileged local user can reach the vulnerable path.\nUI:N - The attacker can trigger the I/O directly through their own syscalls. No separate victim action is required.\nS:U - The impact remains within the kernel/host security authority. This is a standard local kernel memory-corruption issue, not a VM escape or cross-authority boundary bypass.\nC:H - The stale cloned bio pointer causes use-after-free/double-free of kernel heap objects from the DM bioset. Per kernel CVSS guidance, such memory corruption is treated as capable of enabling high-impact information disclosure.\nI:H - The double-free/use-after-free can corrupt allocator state or allow overlapping/reused kernel objects, which is defensibly exploitable for arbitrary memory modification or code execution. Per guidance, UAF/double-free memory corruption warrants high integrity impact.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, the double-free/use-after-free can trigger kernel memory corruption, oops, or panic during I/O completion. Repeated attacker-controlled I/O can repeatedly hit the vulnerable path."
