CVE-2026-68152

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.8)—

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

amt: fix use-after-free in AMT delayed works

When an AMT device is removed, pending delayed works can still access the freed amt_dev structure, which may result in kernel crashes or memory corruption.

amt_dev_stop() cancels req_wq and discovery_wq with cancel_delayed_work_sync(), but these works can be scheduled again from event_wq after the cancellation. This allows delayed works to access the freed amt_dev structure after the netdev has been released.

The following is a simple race scenario:

CPU0 CPU1

Use disable_delayed_work_sync() in amt_dev_stop() to prevent req_wq and discovery_wq from being queued again and wait for running work items to complete.

The delayed works are disabled after initialization in amt_newlink() and enabled only when the device is successfully opened. This keeps the delayed work lifecycle synchronized with the lifetime of the AMT device.

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) que causa use-after-free en kernel Linux permitiendo crash o corrupción de memoria. El acceso local sin interacción y privilegios elevados (PR:L) indican escalada (T1068). Los impactos son DoS por crash de kernel (T1499.004) y manipulación de datos en memoria (T1565.

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.
