CVE-2026-80622

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.8)—

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

char: tlclk: fix use-after-free in tlclk_cleanup()

This patch improves the module cleanup process in the tlclk driver to prevent potential use-after-free and race conditions.

Currently, the file_operations structure does not specify the .owner field, which could allow the module to be unloaded while user-space processes are still interacting with the device. Additionally, the tlclk_cleanup() function frees the alarm_events memory before ensuring that blocked processes in the waitqueue are fully awakened and that the switchover_timer has completed.

Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
To address these cases, this patch:
- Sets '.owner = THIS_MODULE' in tlclk_fops to safely defer module
  unloading while the device is in use.
- Updates tlclk_cleanup() to explicitly wake up all blocked readers
  (wake_up_all), properly release hardware I/O regions, and safely
  delete the timer (timer_delete_sync) prior to freeing memory.

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 permite use-after-free en kernel. Sin interacción del usuario (UI:N), el atacante con permisos locales explota el módulo tlclk para ganar ejecución de código (impacto principal) como escalada de privilegios.

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.
