CVE-2024-26993

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs: sysfs: Fix reference leak in sysfs_break_active_protection() The sysfs_break_active_protection() routine has an obvious reference leak in its error path. If the call to kernfs_find_and_get() fails then kn will be NULL, so the companion sysfs_unbreak_active_protection() routine won't get called (and would only cause an access violation by trying to dereference kn->parent if it was called). As a result, the reference to kobj acquired at the start of the function will never be released. Fix the leak by adding an explicit kobject_put() call when kn is NULL.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: fs: sysfs: corrige la fuga de referencia en sysfs_break_active_protection() La rutina sysfs_break_active_protection() tiene una fuga de referencia obvia en su ruta de error. Si la llamada a kernfs_find_and_get() falla, entonces kn será NULL, por lo que no se llamará a la rutina complementaria sysfs_unbreak_active_protection() (y solo causaría una infracción de acceso al intentar eliminar la referencia a kn->parent si se llamara). Como resultado, la referencia a kobj adquirida al inicio de la función nunca se publicará. Solucione la fuga agregando una llamada explícita a kobject_put() cuando kn sea NULL.
