Subject: CVE-2026-23150: nfc: llcp: Fix memleak in nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: llcp: Fix memleak in nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().
syzbot reported various memory leaks related to NFC, struct
nfc_llcp_sock, sk_buff, nfc_dev, etc. [0]
The leading log hinted that nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() failed
to allocate skb due to sock_error(sk) being -ENXIO.
ENXIO is set by nfc_llcp_socket_release() when struct
nfc_llcp_local is destroyed by local_cleanup().
The problem is that there is no synchronisation between
nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() and local_cleanup(), and skb
could be put into local->tx_queue after it was purged in
local_cleanup():
CPU1 CPU2
---- ----
nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() local_cleanup()
|- do { '
|- pdu = nfc_alloc_send_skb(..., &err)
| .
| |- nfc_llcp_socket_release(local, false, ENXIO);
| |- skb_queue_purge(&local->tx_queue); |
| ' |
|- skb_queue_tail(&local->tx_queue, pdu); |
... |
|- pdu = nfc_alloc_send_skb(..., &err) |
^._________________________________.'
local_cleanup() is called for struct nfc_llcp_local only
after nfc_llcp_remove_local() unlinks it from llcp_devices.
If we hold local->tx_queue.lock then, we can synchronise
the thread and nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().
Let's do that and check list_empty(&local->list) before
queuing skb to local->tx_queue in nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().

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:
