7.8 CVE-2022-48791

Patch
 

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: pm8001: Fix use-after-free for aborted TMF sas_task Currently a use-after-free may occur if a TMF sas_task is aborted before we handle the IO completion in mpi_ssp_completion(). The abort occurs due to timeout. When the timeout occurs, the SAS_TASK_STATE_ABORTED flag is set and the sas_task is freed in pm8001_exec_internal_tmf_task(). However, if the I/O completion occurs later, the I/O completion still thinks that the sas_task is available. Fix this by clearing the ccb->task if the TMF times out - the I/O completion handler does nothing if this pointer is cleared.

CWE-416 : Use After Free
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. If the product accesses a previously-freed pointer, then it means that a separate weakness or error already occurred previously, such as a race condition, an unexpected or poorly handled error condition, confusion over which part of the program is responsible for freeing the memory, performing the free too soon, etc. a pointer that no longer points to valid memory, often after it has been freed commonly used acronym for Use After Free Fuzz testing (fuzzing) is a powerful technique for generating large numbers of diverse inputs - either randomly or algorithmically - and dynamically invoking the code with those inputs. Even with random inputs, it is often capable of generating unexpected results such as crashes, memory corruption, or resource consumption. Fuzzing effectively produces repeatable test cases that clearly indicate bugs, which helps developers to diagnose the issues. Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.) Choose a language that provides automatic memory management. When freeing pointers, be sure to set them to NULL once they are freed. However, the utilization of multiple or complex data structures may lower the usefulness of this strategy. Chain: an operating system kernel has insufficent resource locking (CWE-413) leading to a use after free (CWE-416). Chain: two threads in a web browser use the same resource (CWE-366), but one of those threads can destroy the resource before the other has completed (CWE-416). Chain: mobile platform race condition (CWE-362) leading to use-after-free (CWE-416), as exploited in the wild per CISA KEV. Chain: race condition (CWE-362) leads to use-after-free (CWE-416), as exploited in the wild per CISA KEV. Use-after-free triggered by closing a connection while data is still being transmitted. Improper allocation for invalid data leads to use-after-free. certificate with a large number of Subject Alternate Names not properly handled in realloc, leading to use-after-free Timers are not disabled when a related object is deleted Access to a "dead" object that is being cleaned up object is deleted even with a non-zero reference count, and later accessed use-after-free involving request containing an invalid version number unload of an object that is currently being accessed by other functionality incorrectly tracking a reference count leads to use-after-free use-after-free related to use of uninitialized memory HTML document with incorrectly-nested tags Use after free in ActiveX object by providing a malformed argument to a method use-after-free by disconnecting during data transfer, or a message containing incorrect data types disconnect during a large data transfer causes incorrect reference count, leading to use-after-free use-after-free found by fuzzing Chain: race condition (CWE-362) from improper handling of a page transition in web client while an applet is loading (CWE-368) leads to use after free (CWE-416) realloc generates new buffer and pointer, but previous pointer is still retained, leading to use after free Use-after-free in web browser, probably resultant from not initializing memory. use-after-free when one thread accessed memory that was freed by another thread assignment of malformed values to certain properties triggers use after free mail server does not properly handle a long header. chain: integer overflow leads to use-after-free freed pointer dereference
