"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\napparmor: fix race in unix socket mediation when peer_path is used\n\nThe holding a reference to the peer_sk is not enough to ensure access\nto the peer sk path. Accessing the path outside of the state lock\nallows for a race with unix_release_sock(). Fix this by taking the\nstate lock and getting a reference to the path under lock.\n\nIdeally for connected sockets we would cache this information so we\ndon't have to take the lock here. But for now just fix the race."

"value": "AV:L - Exploitation requires local Unix domain socket syscalls (connect/read/write/close) that reach the AppArmor file_permission LSM hook on a connected PF_UNIX socket; there is no network packet or remote protocol path to this code.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both ends of the race by concurrently I/O'ing on an abstract/anonymous socket connected to a filesystem-bound peer while closing the peer socket, repeatedly timing read/write against peer teardown until the window is hit.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local user can create and connect Unix sockets and trigger revalidation on confined workloads (snaps, containers, desktop services on AppArmor-enabled Ubuntu/Debian); no real-root or init-namespace capabilities are required.\nUI:N - Exploitation is fully attacker-driven through automated concurrent socket operations and does not require any victim user action such as opening files or mounting filesystems.\nS:C - Winning the race can bypass AppArmor Unix peer_path mediation (implicit allow when dentry is cleared) or corrupt kernel objects via dentry UAF, crossing the AppArmor confinement boundary that normally separates confined from unconfined authority.\nC:H - Use-after-free of the peer socket's dentry/inode during unix_fs_perm/aa_path_perm allows dereferencing freed kernel heap memory, which per kernel CVSS guidance for UAF enables arbitrary kernel memory disclosure primitives.\nI:H - The UAF on struct path/dentry/inode is heap memory corruption that can be leveraged for arbitrary kernel writes and control-flow hijack; the race can also silently bypass AppArmor peer filesystem permission enforcement.\nA:H - Dereferencing a released peer_path dentry in unix_fs_perm can cause kernel oops/panic; UAF during active socket I/O on production AppArmor-confined services (D-Bus, journald, snap apps) enables repeatable denial of service."
