CVE-2026-52947CVE-2026-52947
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: fix refcount saturation and potential UAF in qrtr_port_remove
In qrtr_port_remove(), the socket reference count is decremented via
__sock_put() before the port is removed from the qrtr_ports XArray and
before the RCU grace period elapses.
This breaks the fundamental RCU update paradigm. It exposes a race
window where a concurrent RCU reader (such as qrtr_reset_ports() or
qrtr_port_lookup()) can obtain a pointer to the socket from the XArray,
and attempt to call sock_hold() on a socket whose reference count has
already dropped to zero.
This exact race condition was hit during syzkaller fuzzing, leading to
the following refcount saturation warning and a potential Use-After-Free:
refcount_t: saturated; leaking memory.
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1273 at lib/refcount.c:22 refcount_warn_saturate+0xae/0x1d0
