The concurrent use is a local mmap(2)/exec that hits perf_event_mmap()/perf_event_exec() \u2192 perf_iterate_ctx(). No remote protocol supplies the triggering state.\nAC:L - The attacker sets attr.inherit, opens an intel_pt/cs_etm event, issues PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER, then forks/clones. close() on the parent fd kfree's the child's addr_filter_ranges in __free_event() while the child mmap()s a VM_EXEC mapping so __perf_addr_filters_adjust() writes the freed array. Both sides are attacker-driven.\nPR:L - Default perf_event_paranoid=2 still allows an unprivileged per-task intel_pt or cs_etm event with exclude_kernel set; pt_event_init() and etm_event_init() have no capable() check, and find_get_context() calls perf_allow_cpu() only for pid==-1. PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER is then ioctl'd on that fd via perf_ioctl().\nUI:N - The attacker performs sys_perf_event_open(), PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER, fork/clone, mmap() of the filtered file, and close() entirely in tasks they control. No separate victim must mount a filesystem or open a file.\nS:U - The defect is a host-kernel heap UAF of event->addr_filter_ranges in kernel/events/core.c. Impact stays inside the kernel's own security authority and is not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host escape or IOMMU/DMA bypass.\nC:H - __free_event() kfree's the kcalloc'd addr_filter_ranges array while RCU walkers still hold the event. Reclaiming that heap object, combined with pt_event_addr_filters_sync()/etm_addr_filters_sync() reading fr[range].start/size, yields a kernel read primitive.\nI:H - __perf_addr_filters_adjust() and perf_event_addr_filters_exec() write attacker-influenced vma start/size into the already-freed addr_filter_ranges slots. That heap UAF write is sprayable into a control-flow hijack / arbitrary write.\nA:H - Use-after-free of addr_filter_ranges while perf_iterate_ctx() still observes the event on ctx->event_list causes a kernel oops or panic when the freed slots are indexed or the reallocated object is corrupted."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["kernel/events/core.c"], "versions": [{"version": "375637bc524952f1122ea22caf5a8f1fecad8228", "lessThan": "cd8dab11046c03ab07899ce3fe2aa7d1a9702cf1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "375637bc524952f1122ea22caf5a8f1fecad8228", "lessThan": "6f1853b2b9f38f1343790bae8c0601b3f7554754", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "375637bc524952f1122ea22caf5a8f1fecad8228", "lessThan": "e62d4192e593630f355094adc467058a05bdc935", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["kernel/events/core.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4.7", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "4.7", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.53", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd8dab11046c03ab07899ce3fe2aa7d1a9702cf1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f1853b2b9f38f1343790bae8c0601b3f7554754"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e62d4192e593630f355094adc467058a05bdc935"}], "title": "perf: Fix addr_filter_ranges lifetime", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
