"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nscsi: st: Fix use-after-free race between st_remove() and st_open()\n\nst_remove() drops the probe reference on the scsi_tape with kref_put()\nand only afterwards removes its index from st_index_idr. If that was the\nlast reference, scsi_tape_release() frees the structure while it is\nstill published in the idr.\n\nscsi_tape_get(), called from st_open(), looks up the tape in\nst_index_idr and takes a reference under st_ref_mutex and\nst_index_lock. remove_cdevs() does not wait for opens that are already\npast chrdev_open(), so an open that is blocked on st_ref_mutex while\nst_remove() holds it can take the mutex as soon as st_remove() drops it,\nfind the freed tpnt in the idr and call kref_get() on it:\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in st_open\n Write of size 4 ...\n st_open (drivers/scsi/st.c:254 drivers/scsi/st.c:1291)\n chrdev_open\n ...\n Freed by task ...:\n kfree\n st_remove (drivers/scsi/st.c:4512)\n\nRemove the index from the idr before dropping the reference, all under\nst_ref_mutex. A concurrent scsi_tape_get() now either runs first and\nholds a valid reference that keeps the tape alive, or runs afterwards\nand finds nothing, so st_open() fails with -ENXIO.\n\nThis restores the ordering st_remove() had before the conversion to\nst_index_idr, where the tape was unpublished from scsi_tapes[] before\nthe final kref_put()."

"value": "AV:L - A local openat() reaches st_open() through chrdev_open(), then scsi_tape_get(); concurrent hot-unplug reaches the patched st_remove() through __scsi_remove_device(), with no network-supplied input.\nAC:L - A tape-device user controlling a hotpluggable TYPE_TAPE device can flood /dev/stN opens while disconnecting it, controlling both st_open() and st_remove() and retrying the race at will.\nPR:L - st_open() and scsi_tape_get() perform no capability check; may_open() applies device-node DAC and device-cgroup policy, so a tape-group user controlling an external tape needs no init-namespace administrative privilege.\nUI:N - The attacker performs both the /dev/stN open flood and device disconnect; no separate victim must open the tape, remove it, or mount attacker-supplied content.\nS:U - The freed scsi_tape object and subsequent corruption remain within the host kernel's SCSI-tape authority, without crossing a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox security boundary.\nC:H - st_remove() leaves a freed kmalloc-1k scsi_tape in st_index_idr; scsi_tape_get() reads its device pointer and st_open() follows buffer and mode pointers from reclaimable storage, enabling kernel-memory disclosure.\nI:H - kref_get() performs a confirmed four-byte write into the freed scsi_tape, and successful reclamation exposes further st_open() writes through in_use, state, and buffer fields, supporting control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The stale device and buffer pointers are subsequently dereferenced by scsi_device_get() and st_open() buffer handling; the reported UAF proceeds to unrelated corruption, oops/GPF, and kernel panic."
