CVE-2026-80955

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.8)—

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

dm-pcache: fix use-after-free and invalid seg operations in kset_replay()

In kset_replay, when key->seg_gen is stale (key->seg_gen < key->cache_pos.cache_seg->gen), cache_key_put(key) is called but then key->cache_pos.cache_seg is accessed as the argument to cache_seg_get(). This is a use-after-free on the freed key memory. Although mempool recycled memory is not immediately reclaimed or overwritten in practice, this is still a potential UAF bug.

Additionally, for expired invalid keys, setting the cache->seg_map bit and calling cache_seg_get() is unreasonable since the corresponding segment data is no longer valid.

Fix both issues by moving cache_seg_get() and __set_bit() after the gen check, so they only execute for valid keys, and using continue to skip invalid keys.

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 local (AV:L, PR:L) de uso después de liberación en dm-pcache que permite escalar privilegios (C:H, I:H, A:H). El acceso a memoria liberada tras cache_key_put() puede causar corrupción de datos o denegación de servicio en el 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.
