CVE-2024-40910 (GCVE-0-2024-40910)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-07-12 12:20 – Updated: 2026-08-05 11:33

Title

ax25: Fix refcount imbalance on inbound connections

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ax25: Fix refcount imbalance on inbound connections When releasing a socket in ax25_release(), we call netdev_put() to decrease the refcount on the associated ax.25 device. However, the execution path for accepting an incoming connection never calls netdev_hold(). This imbalance leads to refcount errors, and ultimately to kernel crashes. A typical call trace for the above situation will start with one of the following errors: refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory. refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free. And will then have a trace like: Call Trace: <TASK> ? show_regs+0x64/0x70 ? __warn+0x83/0x120 ? refcount_warn_saturate+0xb2/0x100 ? report_bug+0x158/0x190 ? prb_read_valid+0x20/0x30 ? handle_bug+0x3e/0x70 ? exc_invalid_op+0x1c/0x70 ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x1f/0x30 ? refcount_warn_saturate+0xb2/0x100 ? refcount_warn_saturate+0xb2/0x100 ax25_release+0x2ad/0x360 __sock_release+0x35/0xa0 sock_close+0x19/0x20 [...] On reboot (or any attempt to remove the interface), the kernel gets stuck in an infinite loop: unregister_netdevice: waiting for ax0 to become free. Usage count = 0 This patch corrects these issues by ensuring that we call netdev_hold() and ax25_dev_hold() for new connections in ax25_accept(). This makes the logic leading to ax25_accept() match the logic for ax25_bind(): in both cases we increment the refcount, which is ultimately decremented in ax25_release().

However, the\nexecution path for accepting an incoming connection never calls\nnetdev_hold(). This imbalance leads to refcount errors, and ultimately\nto kernel crashes.\n\nA typical call trace for the above situation will start with one of the\nfollowing errors:\n\n    refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory.\n    refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.\n\nAnd will then have a trace like:\n\n    Call Trace:\n    \u003cTASK\u003e\n    ? show_regs+0x64/0x70\n    ? __warn+0x83/0x120\n    ? refcount_warn_saturate+0xb2/0x100\n    ? report_bug+0x158/0x190\n    ? prb_read_valid+0x20/0x30\n    ? handle_bug+0x3e/0x70\n    ? exc_invalid_op+0x1c/0x70\n    ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x1f/0x30\n    ? refcount_warn_saturate+0xb2/0x100\n    ? refcount_warn_saturate+0xb2/0x100\n    ax25_release+0x2ad/0x360\n    __sock_release+0x35/0xa0\n    sock_close+0x19/0x20\n    [...]\n\nOn reboot (or any attempt to remove the interface), the kernel gets\nstuck in an infinite loop:\n\n    unregister_netdevice: waiting for ax0 to become free. Usage count = 0\n\nThis patch corrects these issues by ensuring that we call netdev_hold()\nand ax25_dev_hold() for new connections in ax25_accept(). This makes the\nlogic leading to ax25_accept() match the logic for ax25_bind(): in both\ncases we increment the refcount, which is ultimately decremented in\nax25_release()."

AX.25 frames are not IP-routable by the kernel itself, so this is adjacent rather than full network reach.\nAC:L - The attacker simply connects and disconnects repeatedly; each accepted-then-closed session deterministically drops one unheld netdev reference and one unheld ax25_dev reference, and only a couple of iterations are needed to drive `ax25_dev-\u003erefcount` to zero. No race, no memory-layout precondition, and the attacker controls the repetition count.\nPR:N - AX.25 has no authentication whatsoever \u2014 an unauthenticated remote station only needs to send a SABM to a listening callsign on a node/BBS/ax25d service. No credentials or local account on the victim are required.\nUI:N - A listening AX.25 service accepts inbound connections automatically and closes the session socket when the peer disconnects, which is exactly the release path that performs the unbalanced `netdev_put()`/`ax25_dev_put()`. No operator action is needed.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel memory within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - `ax25_dev_put()` frees the `ax25_dev` while `dev-\u003eax25_ptr` and `ax25_dev_list` still reference it, so subsequent received frames read attacker-refillable freed slab memory (`values[]`, `forward`, `sysheader`), and the netdev refcount underflow can free `struct net_device` while sockets still point at it \u2014 a use-after-free that is leverageable for kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The freed `ax25_dev` embeds a `timer_list` (DAMA slave timer with a function pointer) and a `list_head` that are still armed/linked, plus a `net_device *forward` used on the transmit path; reclaiming the slab yields write and control-flow-hijack primitives typical of a use-after-free.\nA:H - The commit documents kernel crashes from the refcount underflow, and on interface teardown or reboot the kernel spins forever in `unregister_netdevice: waiting for ax0 to become free. Usage count = 0` with RTNL held \u2014 a permanent, remotely inducible hang in addition to the UAF oops."
