"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsmack: fix cred UAF in smack_file_send_sigiotask()\n\nWhen inspecting the credentials of another task, objective credentials\n(->real_cred, accessed with __task_cred()) must always be used.\n\nAccessing ->cred on a non-current task is forbidden unless that task is\nbeing created or destroyed; a task is allowed to change its own ->cred\npointer with no synchronization, and changing ->cred should only affect the\ncurrent syscall.\n\nsmack_file_send_sigiotask() was accessing both sets of credentials: First\ntsk->cred, then __task_cred(tsk).\n\nFix it, always access the objective credentials here.\n\nI have tested that this bug can lead to a KASAN-reported UAF of struct cred\nin smack_file_send_sigiotask(), and that this fix prevents the race."

"value": "AV:L - Reachable only via local syscalls: fcntl(F_SETOWN)/O_ASYNC on a pipe or socket, then write or MSG_OOB so kill_fasync()/send_sigurg() call smack_file_send_sigiotask(). Same SIGIO path as CVE-2026-72183 (AV:L); a remote peer can raise SIGIO only on a socket the local attacker already owns.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: one thread loops faccessat() so access_override_creds() installs a non_rcu subjective cred that revert_creds()+put_cred() frees without RCU, while another thread writes the pipe or sends OOB to fire SIGIO. The fix author reproduced a KASAN cred UAF; the window is retryable.\nPR:L - pipe(), fcntl(F_SETOWN/F_SETFL), write(), and faccessat() need no capabilities. An unprivileged user namespace (unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)) makes access() install the non_rcu override (non-root uid with caps, or real uid != fsuid). The UAF is kernel cred memory on the attacker’s own task.\nUI:N - No victim action is required. The attacker arms fowner on their own file, overrides their own subjective creds via faccessat(), and triggers SIGIO themselves.\nS:U - This is in-kernel cred use-after-free leading to local privilege escalation within the kernel security authority. It is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or userspace sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free of struct cred. After free, the cred slab can be sprayed so cred->security and the derived smack_known are attacker-controlled, enabling arbitrary kernel reads through smk_access() and smack_log(). Kernel UAF scores C:H.\nI:H - The same sprayed cred/task_smack/smack_known objects yield a fake-object primitive on the SIGIO path, exploitable for control-flow hijacking and arbitrary write as with other kernel cred UAFs. Kernel UAF scores I:H.\nA:H - The fix author confirmed a KASAN use-after-free of struct cred in smack_file_send_sigiotask(). Dereferencing the freed cred on the SIGIO path, including from kill_fasync() in interrupt context, causes a kernel oops or panic."
