CVE-2026-97583
Last modified
CVE-2026-97583 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afs: Clear stale peer app data after address list changes afs_fs_probe_fileserver() fetches the current endpoint state under server->fs_lock, but leaves old_alist as NULL. Consequently, afs_set_peer_appdata() treats every address list replacement as initial setup and only binds the new peers; it never unbinds peers removed from the old list. An address refresh can therefore proceed as follows.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afs: Clear stale peer app data after address list changes afs_fs_probe_fileserver() fetches the current endpoint state under server->fs_lock, but leaves old_alist as NULL. Consequently, afs_set_peer_appdata() treats every address list replacement as initial setup and only binds the new peers; it never unbinds peers removed from the old list. An address refresh can therefore proceed as follows. CPU 0 replaces server S's list and drops Pold without clearing Pold->app_data. The server destroyer then clears only S's current peers and lets S reach its RCU callback. After the callback frees S, CPU 1 handles a callback through an RxRPC connection that still pins Pold, reads Pold->app_data, and calls afs_use_server() on the freed object. KASAN reported: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in afs_find_server+0x3c/0xa0 Read of size 4 at addr ffff8881013e1af0 by task krxrpcio/7001/74 Call Trace: afs_find_server+0x3c/0xa0 afs_rx_new_call+0x15c/0x390 rxrpc_new_incoming_call+0x97c/0x1730 rxrpc_input_packet.constprop.0+0xd03/0xec0 rxrpc_io_thread+0x967/0x1640 Allocated by task 93: afs_lookup_server+0x1a7/0x14c0 afs_alloc_server_list+0x43f/0xb60 afs_create_volume+0x923/0x1490 afs_get_tree+0x1c6/0x10a0 Freed by task 0: kfree+0x131/0x3c0 rcu_core+0x50a/0x1850 Last potentially related work creation: __call_rcu_common.constprop.0+0x71/0xa10 afs_put_server+0x213/0x2b0 Preserve old->addresses for the peer app-data update so that removed peers are cleared before the endpoint state is replaced. Also advance both cursors when the old and new lists share a peer; activating the old/new comparison without this would otherwise loop forever on the shared entry.
