Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: tun: Fix use-after-free in tun_detach()

syzbot reported use-after-free in tun_detach() [1]. This causes call trace like below:

================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in notifier_call_chain+0x1ee/0x200 kernel/notifier.c:75 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88807324e2a8 by task syz-executor.0/3673

The cause of the issue is that sock_put() from __tun_detach() drops last reference count for struct net, and then notifier_call_chain() from netdev_state_change() accesses that struct net.

This patch fixes the issue by calling sock_put() from tun_detach() after all necessary accesses for the struct net has done.
