CVE-2025-13350
Ubuntu Linux 6.8 GA retains the legacy AF_UNIX garbage collector but backports upstream commit 8594d9b85c07 ("af_unix: Don’t call skb_get() for OOB skb"). When orphaned MSG_OOB sockets hit unix_gc(), the garbage collector still calls kfree_skb() as if OOB SKBs held two references; on Ubuntu Linux 6.8 (Noble Numbat) kernel tree, they have only the queue reference, so the buffer is freed while still reachable and subsequent queue walks dereference freed memory, yielding a reliable local privilege escalation (LPE) caused by a use-after-free (UAF).

Ubuntu builds that have already taken the new GC stack from commit 4090fa373f0e, and mainline Linux kernels shipping that infrastructure are unaffected because they no longer execute the legacy collector path. This issue affects Ubuntu Linux from 6.8.0-56.58 before 6.8.0-84.84.

Cuando los sockets MSG_OOB huérfanos alcanzan unix_gc(), el recolector de basura sigue llamando a kfree_skb() como si los SKB OOB tuvieran dos referencias; en el árbol del kernel de Ubuntu Linux 6.8 (Noble Numbat), solo tienen la referencia de la cola, por lo que el búfer se libera mientras aún es accesible y las subsiguientes recorridos de cola desreferencian memoria liberada, lo que produce una escalada de privilegios local (LPE) fiable causada por un uso después de liberación (UAF). Las compilaciones de Ubuntu que ya han adoptado la nueva pila GC del commit 4090fa373f0e, y los kernels de Linux principales que distribuyen esa infraestructura no se ven afectados porque ya no ejecutan la ruta del recolector heredado.
