"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\niio: buffer: Make IIO DMA fence release RCU-safe\n\nThe `dma_fence` documentation states that if a custom release\nimplementation is provided, the `dma_fence` object must be freed in an\nRCU-safe way. The current `iio_dma_fence` implementation uses `kfree()`,\nwhich might result in a use-after-free.\n\nRemove the custom `release` implementation. This makes the DMA fence core\nfall back to `dma_fence_free()`, which calls `kfree_rcu()` on the fence.\nThis requires that the fence be the first member of `struct iio_dma_fence`.\n\nUsing the default release method for extended DMA fence structures is a\ncommon pattern."

"value": "AV:L - The use-after-free is reached only through local IIO character-device ioctls (IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL then IIO_BUFFER_DMABUF_ATTACH/ENQUEUE_IOCTL on /dev/iio:deviceN); there is no network, Bluetooth, or USB packet path into the IIO DMA fence release.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by enqueueing IIO DMA-BUF transfers that create and later kfree() the fence while concurrently waiting on or exporting the same dma-buf's reservation fences via DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC/EXPORT_SYNC_FILE, so the missing RCU grace period is attacker-driven.\nPR:L - The IIO open and ioctl path performs no capability check; only filesystem access to /dev/iio:deviceN is required. On Android, automotive, and industrial/SDR systems that ship DMA-capable IIO converters, that node is commonly group-accessible to unprivileged sensor or application users.\nUI:N - The attacker opens the IIO device, attaches their own DMA-BUF, and issues enqueue and dma-buf sync/export ioctls themselves; no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - The freed iio_dma_fence lives in the host kernel heap and any resulting corruption stays within the same kernel security authority; this is not a VM escape or IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass.\nC:H - Immediate kfree() of the dma_fence lets concurrent dma_resv RCU walkers (dma_fence_get_rcu, dma_fence_driver_name) read the reclaimed slab object; per kernel scoring guidance a use-after-free is High confidentiality impact.\nI:H - The freed dma_fence contains ops function pointers, callback lists, and a spinlock used after free; reclaiming the object with attacker-controlled data yields write and control-flow hijack primitives, so integrity impact is High.\nA:H - Use-after-free of the fence from dma_fence_release or dma_resv iteration causes a kernel oops or panic even without a full exploit, so availability impact is High."
