A use-after-free flaw was found in xen_9pfs_front_removet in net/9p/trans_xen.c in Xen transport for 9pfs in the Linux Kernel. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system due to a race problem, possibly leading to a kernel information leak.
CVSS 3.1 Base Score 4.7. CVSS Attack Vector: local. CVSS Attack Complexity: high. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
The following example demonstrates the weakness.
}free(buf3R2);The following code illustrates a use after free error:
}free(ptr);logError("operation aborted before commit", ptr);When an error occurs, the pointer is immediately freed. However, this pointer is later incorrectly used in the logError function.
