Message-ID: <2025120943-CVE-2023-53805-f08b@gregkh> Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2025 09:02:26 +0900 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-cve-announce@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org> Subject: CVE-2023-53805: tty: n_gsm: fix UAF in gsm_cleanup_mux From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org> Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: n_gsm: fix UAF in gsm_cleanup_mux In gsm_cleanup_mux() the 'gsm->dlci' pointer was not cleaned properly, leaving it a dangling pointer after gsm_dlci_release. This leads to use-after-free where 'gsm->dlci[0]' are freed and accessed by the subsequent gsm_cleanup_mux(). Such is the case in the following call trace: <TASK> __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:88 [inline] dump_stack_lvl+0x1e3/0x2cb lib/dump_stack.c:106 print_address_description+0x63/0x3b0 mm/kasan/report.c:248 __kasan_report mm/kasan/report.c:434 [inline] kasan_report+0x16b/0x1c0 mm/kasan/report.c:451 gsm_cleanup_mux+0x76a/0x850 drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2397 gsm_config drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2653 [inline] gsmld_ioctl+0xaae/0x15b0 drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2986 tty_ioctl+0x8ff/0xc50 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2816 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:874 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0xf1/0x160 fs/ioctl.c:860 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x3d/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x61/0xcb </TASK> Allocated by task 3501: kasan_save_stack mm/kasan/common.c:38 [inline] kasan_set_track mm/kasan/common.c:46 [inline] set_alloc_info mm/kasan/common.c:434 [inline] ____kasan_kmalloc+0xba/0xf0 mm/kasan/common.c:513 kasan_kmalloc include/linux/kasan.h:264 [inline] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x143/0x290 mm/slub.c:3247 kmalloc include/linux/slab.h:591 [inline] kzalloc include/linux/slab.h:721 [inline] gsm_dlci_alloc+0x53/0x3a0 drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:1932 gsm_activate_mux+0x1c/0x330 drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2438 gsm_config drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2677 [inline] gsmld_ioctl+0xd46/0x15b0 drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2986 tty_ioctl+0x8ff/0xc50 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2816 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:874 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0xf1/0x160 fs/ioctl.c:860 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x3d/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x61/0xcb Freed by task 3501: kasan_save_stack mm/kasan/common.c:38 [inline] kasan_set_track+0x4b/0x80 mm/kasan/common.c:46 kasan_set_free_info+0x1f/0x40 mm/kasan/generic.c:360 ____kasan_slab_free+0xd8/0x120 mm/kasan/common.c:366 kasan_slab_free include/linux/kasan.h:230 [inline] slab_free_hook mm/slub.c:1705 [inline] slab_free_freelist_hook+0xdd/0x160 mm/slub.c:1731 slab_free mm/slub.c:3499 [inline] kfree+0xf1/0x270 mm/slub.c:4559 dlci_put drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:1988 [inline] gsm_dlci_release drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2021 [inline] gsm_cleanup_mux+0x574/0x850 drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2415 gsm_config drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2653 [inline] gsmld_ioctl+0xaae/0x15b0 drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2986 tty_ioctl+0x8ff/0xc50 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2816 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:874 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0xf1/0x160 fs/ioctl.c:860 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x3d/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x61/0xcb The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-53805 to this issue.

Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/tty/n_gsm.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8fc0eabaa73bbd9bd705577071564616da5c8c61 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5138c228311a863c3cf937b94a3ab4c87f1f70c4 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9615ca54bc138e35353a001e8b5d4824dce72188 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/74a8d6f50cc90ed0061997db51dfa81a62b0f835 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9b9c8195f3f0d74a826077fc1c01b9ee74907239
