"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Skip unsettled links in link iterator\n\nbpf_link_prime() inserts a link into link_idr before anon_inode_getfile()\nsucceeds and before bpf_link_settle() publishes the ID in link->id.\nbpf_link_by_id() treats such an ID-zero link as unsettled, but the link\niterator takes a reference without this check.\n\nIf anon_inode_getfile() then fails, the creator removes the ID and frees\nits still-private link directly. The iterator is left with a dangling\nreference and its next bpf_link_put() accesses freed memory.\n\nTreat ID-zero entries as transient in bpf_link_get_curr_or_next(), just as\nbpf_link_by_id() does.\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in bpf_link_put\n Write of size 8 by task exp/384\n Call Trace:\n bpf_link_put kernel/bpf/syscall.c:3372\n bpf_link_seq_next kernel/bpf/link_iter.c:33\n bpf_seq_read kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c:158\n vfs_read fs/read_write.c:572\n ksys_read fs/read_write.c:716\n do_syscall_64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:84\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121\n Kernel panic - not syncing: KASAN: panic_on_warn set ..."

"value": "AV:L - Both required paths are local: bpf(BPF_LINK_CREATE/BPF_ITER_CREATE) prepares the bpf_link iterator, and read() reaches bpf_seq_read() -> bpf_link_seq_next() -> the patched bpf_link_get_curr_or_next(); no network data enters this state.\nAC:L - The attacker can fill fs.file-max so anon_inode_getfile() returns -ENFILE, then run the iterator reader and repeated BPF_LINK_CREATE calls concurrently, controlling both sides of the IDR insert/remove race.\nPR:L - BPF_PROG_LOAD for BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING/BPF_TRACE_ITER requires CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON, but bpf_token_capable() accepts them in a delegated bpffs token's user namespace; this permits a namespace-root local user, while a bare user namespace does not.\nUI:N - After preparing the iterator and program FDs, the attacking process itself issues read() and concurrent BPF_LINK_CREATE calls; no victim action is required.\nS:U - bpf_link_get_curr_or_next() leaves a dangling object inside the same host kernel that services the BPF syscalls; it crosses no guest/host, IOMMU, or separate security authority boundary.\nC:H - The iterator retains a freed struct bpf_link pointer; reclaiming that slab object makes later bpf_link_put()/bpf_link_free() consume attacker-influenced refcnt, ops, and prog fields, supporting kernel-memory disclosure.\nI:H - bpf_link_put() performs atomic64_dec_and_test() on the freed object's first eight bytes and can initialize and queue its reclaimed work_struct, so controlled reuse supports arbitrary corruption or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The demonstrated read() path reaches bpf_link_seq_next() and bpf_link_put() after the link is freed, producing a KASAN use-after-free and kernel panic; the same stale write can crash a non-KASAN kernel."
