Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-74348)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-74348). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2/dlm: require a ref for locking_state debugfs open
debug_lockres_open() copies inode->i_private into struct debug_lockres and
debug_lockres_release() later drops that pointer with dlm_put(). That
only works if open successfully pins the struct dlm_ctxt.
Today open calls dlm_grab(dlm) but ignores its return value. Once the
last domain unregister has removed the context from dlm_domains,
dlm_grab() returns NULL, yet open still stores the raw pointer and returns
success. The later release path is outside the debugfs removal barrier,
so it can call dlm_put() after dlm_free_ctxt_mem() has freed the context.
KASAN reports this as a slab-use-after-free in dlm_put() called from
debug_lockres_release().
Fail the open when dlm_grab() cannot acquire the reference and unwind the
seq_file private state before returning. That keeps locking_state from
handing out a file descriptor whose release path does not own the
dlm_ctxt.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
locking_state debugfs open: last domain unregister:
- debug_lockres_open() reads 1. dlm_unregister_domain() calls
inode->i_private. dlm_complete_dlm_shutdown(). - debug_lockres_open() calls 2. shutdown removes the dlm_ctxt from
dlm_grab(dlm) and gets NULL. dlm_domains. - open still stores the raw dlm 3. final teardown reaches
point…
