"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Fix use-after-free on mm_struct in bpf_find_vma()\n\nbpf_find_vma() reads task->mm and calls mmap_read_trylock(mm) without\nholding a reference on the mm. On a foreign task, a concurrent exit_mm()\ncan free the mm_struct between the lockless read and the trylock,\nresulting in a use-after-free. mm_struct is not SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.\n\nFor the current task, task->mm is stable. For a foreign task, pin the mm\nunder task->alloc_lock and release it with mmput_async(), mirroring commit\nd8e27d2d22b6 (\"bpf: fix mm lifecycle in open-coded task_vma iterator\").\nUse spin_trylock() instead of get_task_mm() so BPF context does not block\non alloc_lock. Reject irqs-disabled contexts and !CONFIG_MMU on the\nforeign-task path because dropping the mm reference is not safe there.\n\nRace:\n\n CPU0 (BPF program) CPU1 (exiting task)\n ============================ ==========================\n bpf_find_vma(foreign_task):\n mm = task->mm\n exit_mm():\n task->mm = NULL\n mmput(mm) -> frees mm_struct\n mmap_read_trylock(mm)\n // UAF on mm"

{

"value": "AV:L - bpf_find_vma() is invoked only from a program loaded via bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD): BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL (syscall_prog_func_proto) or tracing/raw_tp (bpf_tracing_func_proto), both reaching bpf_base_func_proto() for BPF_FUNC_find_vma. The stale mm comes from bpf_task_from_pid() or a tracing task argument, not from a remote protocol field.\nAC:L - The race is inside bpf_find_vma() between the lockless task->mm load and mmap_read_trylock(mm). The attacker forks a child, looks it up with bpf_task_from_pid(), and hammers BPF_PROG_RUN (or an attached raw_tp) while that child exits so exit_mm()→mmput() frees the mm; they control both sides.\nPR:L - bpf_base_func_proto() returns bpf_find_vma_proto only after bpf_token_capable(CAP_PERFMON); bpf_prog_load() also needs CAP_BPF, and RAW_TRACEPOINT/TRACING fail is_perfmon_prog_type() without CAP_PERFMON. bpf_token_capable() uses ns_capable() on a delegated token's userns, so this is not init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker loads the program with BPF_PROG_LOAD, runs it via BPF_PROG_RUN or their own attached probe, and exits their own child so exit_mm() races bpf_find_vma(); no other user must mount a filesystem or open a file.\nS:U - mmap_read_trylock() and find_vma() operate on the host kernel mm_struct that bpf_find_vma() cached from task->mm. That is in-kernel memory corruption in the same authority as the bpf() caller, not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host or IOMMU escape.\nC:H - After exit_mm() mmput() frees the mm_struct (mm_cachep is not SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU), bpf_find_vma() still calls find_vma(mm, start) and hands the resulting vm_area_struct to the BPF callback, so the program can read reallocated kernel VMA/mm memory.\nI:H - The stale mm is used by mmap_read_trylock() (down_read_trylock on mm->mmap_lock) and bpf_mmap_unlock_mm(); those write a freed mm_struct, and find_vma() may walk a reallocated maple tree, which is UAF corruption exploitable for an arbitrary kernel write.\nA:H - down_read_trylock on a freed mm->mmap_lock or find_vma() walking a freed mm->mm_mt oopses or panics the kernel, and the attacker can repeat bpf_find_vma() against children they exit."
