Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: vme_user: Fix possible UAF in tsi148_dma_list_add
Smatch report warning as follows:
drivers/staging/vme_user/vme_tsi148.c:1757 tsi148_dma_list_add() warn:
'&entry->list' not removed from list
In tsi148_dma_list_add(), the error path "goto err_dma" will not
remove entry->list from list->entries, but entry will be freed,
then list traversal may cause UAF.
Fix by removeing it from list->entries before free().

Exploitability
CWE
KEV
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-416 | The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a use-after-free (UAF) issue in the Linux kernel's staging vme_user driver, specifically in the tsi148_dma_list_add() function. When an error occurs, an entry is freed without properly removing it from a linked list, which can lead to the system accessing freed memory during list traversal.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The use-after-free vulnerability can cause the system to access invalid memory, potentially leading to system crashes, data corruption, or exploitation by attackers to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.
