The work starts out disabled in ipheth_probe()\nso the enable/disable counts balance from the first open.\n\nReproduced under KASAN on linux-next (next-20260731) with dummy_hcd and\nraw-gadget standing in for the device, driving the second path above (the\ninterface is already down, so unregister_netdev() does not call\nipheth_close()): 15 of 15 unpatched boots report a slab-use-after-free in\n__run_timers(), freed by ipheth_disconnect() and re-armed from\nipheth_sndbulk_callback() via queue_delayed_work_on(). The\nsame trigger on a kernel differing only by this patch reports 0 of 15,\nand the carrier check still functions across open/close cycles.\n\nThe reproducer needs an attached USB device that stops draining bulk OUT,\nplus a link down and unplug, driven as root. It is not a privilege\nboundary crossing and no exploit primitive was developed.\n\nFound by 0sec (https://0sec.ai).", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "bb1b40c7cb863f0800a6410c7dcb86cf3f28d3b1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "d07133fe1befae9a1e4c4c5e46ef0b73d2992020" }, { "version": "bb1b40c7cb863f0800a6410c7dcb86cf3f28d3b1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "2c7496124e94c7f9c3daa5c5b1fb563ca9d62c45" }, { "version": "bb1b40c7cb863f0800a6410c7dcb86cf3f28d3b1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "48303f3ae0fa6e102f3fc7dbf1688cc179131962" }, { "version": "bb1b40c7cb863f0800a6410c7dcb86cf3f28d3b1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "fde39b8a521780391fb4e5bda2c0aa4928947f12" }, { "version": "4f2df9fd07698bece3321fbf9e4b6dbcb9babccc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "ea7d6be58c2e6c1f426b48994bb22b2393c90963", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "f5bca75dc46701f4c0d1dcbaae401233ae7ff06b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "4.4.180", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.5" }, { "version": "4.9.173", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.10" }, { "version": "4.14.116", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.15" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "4.15", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.15" }, { "version": "6.12.104", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.18.45", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*" }, { "version": "7.1.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*" }, { "version": "7.2", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
