CVE-2025-40258

Estado: AplazadaCrítica (9.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: fix race condition in mptcp_schedule_work()

syzbot reported use-after-free in mptcp_schedule_work() [1]

Issue here is that mptcp_schedule_work() schedules a work, then gets a refcount on sk->sk_refcnt if the work was scheduled. This refcount will be released by mptcp_worker().

Problem is that mptcp_worker() can run immediately and complete before [B]

We need instead :

Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
[A] if (schedule_work(...)) {
[B]     sock_hold(sk);
        return true;
    }

    sock_hold(sk);
    if (schedule_work(...))
        return true;
    sock_put(sk);

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vulnerabilidad remota en kernel MPTCP (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) que causa use-after-free; puede usarse para denegación de servicio o escalada de privilegios local en el contexto del kernel.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
