- Summary
- fscache: delete fscache_cookie_lru_timer when fscache exits to avoid UAF
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fscache: delete fscachecookielru_timer when fscache exits to avoid UAF
The fscachecookielrutimer is initialized when the fscache module is inserted, but is not deleted when the fscache module is removed. If timerreduce() is called before removing the fscache module, the fscachecookielru_timer will be added to the timer list of the current cpu. Afterwards, a use-after-free will be triggered in the softIRQ after removing the fscache module, as follows:

Therefore delete fscachecookielru_timer when removing the fscahe module.
