vulnerability has been resolved:\n\niio: event: Fix event FIFO reset race\n\n`iio_event_getfd()` creates the event file descriptor with\n`anon_inode_getfd()`, which allocates a new fd, creates the anonymous\nfile and installs it in the process fd table before returning to the\ncaller.\n\nThe IIO code resets the event FIFO after `anon_inode_getfd()` has returned,\nbut before `IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL` has copied the fd number to userspace.\nBut since fd tables are shared between threads, another thread can guess\nthe newly allocated fd number and issue a `read()` on it as soon as the fd\nhas been installed.\n\nThis means the `kfifo_to_user()` in `iio_event_chrdev_read()` can run in\nparallel with the `kfifo_reset_out()` in `iio_event_getfd()`.\n\nThe kfifo documentation says that `kfifo_reset_out()` is only safe when it\nis called from the reader thread and there is only one concurrent reader.\nOtherwise it is dangerous and must be handled in the same way as\n`kfifo_reset()`.\n\nIf that happens, `kfifo_to_user()` can advance the FIFO `out` index based\non state from before the reset, after the reset has already moved the `out`\nindex to the current `in` index. That can leave the FIFO with an `out`\nindex past the `in` index. A later `read()` can then see an underflowed\nFIFO length and copy more data than the event FIFO buffer contains. This\ncan result in an out-of-bounds read and leak adjacent kernel memory to\nuserspace.\n\nMove the FIFO reset before `anon_inode_getfd()`. At that point the event fd is\nmarked busy, but the new fd has not been installed yet, so userspace cannot\naccess it while the FIFO is reset."}], "lastModified": "2026-11-12T20:58:33.757", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "7025B604-9074-4DDF-98A8-7170A9360213", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.261", "versionStartIncluding": "3.15"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "8E99FB01-CD93-41AF-A653-3F450652B9A6", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.212", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "092233C7-F4E0-40C8-BD4D-A28FE50DFE20", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.178", "versionStartIncluding": "5.16"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "7046B092-F810-4440-ACE6-60218518EECE", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.145", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "38A8100E-2B1A-462F-AEE9-8901B870FEF2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.96", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "914AE4BC-3D59-4C5A-9DB5-9CE327B429F7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.39", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "6228DDD6-4557-4AA3-9F43-AB995D471E42", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.4", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.2:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "5E8B9085-7ADB-4A05-89EF-12949B6A0509"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.2:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "1FC0D50D-9D58-4947-A197-A5A3FF07E7E3"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
