CVE-2026-63910
HIGH
7.8
CVSS 3.1
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-buf: fix UAF in dma_buf_fd() tracepoint
Once FD_ADD() returns, the fd is live in the file descriptor table
and a thread sharing that table can close() it before DMA_BUF_TRACE()
runs. The close drops the last reference, __fput() frees the dma_buf,
and the tracepoint then dereferences dmabuf to take dmabuf->name_lock
-- slab-use-after-free.
Split FD_ADD() back into get_unused_fd_flags() + fd_install() and
emit the tracepoint between them. While the fdtable slot is reserved
with a NULL file pointer, a racing close() returns -EBADF without
entering __fput(), so the dma_buf stays alive across the trace. Same
approach as commit 2d76319c4cbb ("dma-buf: fix UAF in dma_buf_put()
tracepoint").
This undoes the FD_ADD() conversion done in commit 34dfce523c90
("dma: convert dma_buf_fd() to FD_ADD()"); FD_ADD() has no place to
hook the tracepoint safely.
