"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvirtio-fs: avoid double-free on failed queue setup\n\nvirtio_fs_setup_vqs() allocates fs->vqs and fs->mq_map before calling\nvirtio_find_vqs(). If virtio_find_vqs() fails, the error path frees both\npointers and returns an error to virtio_fs_probe().\n\nvirtio_fs_probe() then drops the last kobject reference, and\nvirtio_fs_ktype_release() frees fs->vqs and fs->mq_map again. This leaves\ndangling pointers in struct virtio_fs and can trigger a double-free during\nprobe failure cleanup.\n\nSet fs->vqs and fs->mq_map to NULL immediately after kfree() in the\nvirtio_fs_setup_vqs() error path so that the later kobject release sees an\nuninitialized state and kfree(NULL) becomes harmless.\n\nThis can be reproduced when a broken virtio-fs device advertises more\nrequest queues than the transport actually provides. In that case\nvirtio_find_vqs() fails while setting up the extra queue, and the probe\npath reaches the double-free cleanup sequence."

"value": "AV:L - The triggering field is virtio_fs_config.num_request_queues, read by virtio_cread_le() in virtio_fs_setup_vqs() from virtio_fs_probe() via virtio_dev_probe() after virtio_pci_probe()/register_virtio_device() binds a VIRTIO_ID_FS device; those bytes come from local PCI/MMIO/vDPA config space, not a network protocol message.\nAC:L - A device that advertises more request queues than it exposes makes virtio_find_vqs()->vp_setup_vq() fail (-EINVAL when index >= vp_modern_get_num_queues(), or -ENOENT on queue size 0); virtio_fs_setup_vqs() then kfree's fs->vqs and fs->mq_map and virtio_fs_probe() always kobject_put()s into the second free, with no race.\nPR:N - virtio_fs_probe()/virtio_fs_setup_vqs() have no capable() or credential check; MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(virtio, id_table) autoloads virtiofs and virtio_dev_probe() binds a VIRTIO_ID_FS device at enumeration or hotplug, so a malicious virtio-fs backend needs no account on the guest.\nUI:N - The double-free runs in the probe error path (virtio_fs_setup_vqs() failure, then kobject_put() into virtio_fs_ktype_release()) when the device appears; virtio_fs_add_instance() and a virtiofs mount are never reached, so no victim must mount or open anything.\nS:U - virtio_fs_ktype_release() double-frees the guest kernel kmalloc objects fs->vqs and fs->mq_map; that is device-to-guest heap corruption inside the same guest kernel, not a write into host virtiofsd or a KVM/IOMMU escape.\nC:H - kfree(fs->vqs) and kfree(fs->mq_map) in virtio_fs_setup_vqs() leave dangling pointers that virtio_fs_ktype_release() frees again; a slab double-free of that virtio_fs_vq array and per-CPU mq_map lets those objects overlap so the attacker can read adjacent kernel heap.\nI:H - The same second kfree of fs->vqs and fs->mq_map corrupts the SLUB freelist for those kmalloc objects and is an arbitrary-free primitive, enabling heap overwrite and control-flow hijack in the guest kernel.\nA:H - Double-free of fs->vqs and fs->mq_map in virtio_fs_ktype_release() after virtio_find_vqs() fails oopses or panics the guest during probe cleanup (KASAN invalid-free, SLUB poisoned-freelist BUG, or panic_on_oops)."
