Title
net: wan: farsync: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by unfinished tasklets
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wan: farsync: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by unfinished tasklets
When the FarSync T-series card is being detached, the fst_card_info is
deallocated in fst_remove_one(). However, the fst_tx_task or fst_int_task
may still be running or pending, leading to use-after-free bugs when the
already freed fst_card_info is accessed in fst_process_tx_work_q() or
fst_process_int_work_q().
A typical race condition is depicted below:
CPU 0 (cleanup) | CPU 1 (tasklet)
| fst_start_xmit()
fst_remove_one() | tasklet_schedule()
unregister_hdlc_device()|
| fst_process_tx_work_q() //handler
kfree(card) //free | do_bottom_half_tx()
| card-> //use
The following KASAN trace was captured:

"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable tasklets can be queued by received frames/interrupts from a remote peer on the FarSync HDLC/WAN network link. The required device detach is accounted for under UI.\nAC:L - An attacker can keep RX/interrupt work pending by continuously sending traffic, and the bug is an unsynchronized tasklet teardown rather than a condition requiring special memory layout. The race is therefore reasonably triggerable during detach.\nPR:N - The remote peer does not need local privileges or authentication to generate receive interrupts that queue the vulnerable work. Administrative privilege is only needed for the victim-side detach action, not for the attacker\u2019s network input.\nUI:R - The remote attack scenario requires another user or administrator to detach, unbind, hot-unplug, or unload the FarSync device while tasklet work is pending. Without that detach path, the freed-card use-after-free is not reached.\nS:U - The bug is within a kernel device driver and impacts kernel memory in the same security authority. It is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-scope boundary violation.\nC:H - This is a slab use-after-free of the kmalloc-1k fst_card_info object, whose stale pointers and state are dereferenced by tasklet handlers. Kernel UAFs can be leveraged for memory disclosure, so confidentiality impact is High.\nI:H - The freed card object controls subsequent I/O, DMA/status updates, queue handling, and netdev/port state accesses. As kernel UAF memory corruption, it can plausibly be shaped into write/control-flow corruption, so integrity impact is High.\nA:H - The reported KASAN trace shows a slab-use-after-free in softirq/tasklet context, which can crash or panic the kernel. Repeated triggering during detach can therefore cause high availability impact."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
