Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A use after free issue exists in the
unlock ovpn() function. The function iterates over the release list using llist for each entry() and drops the peer reference via ovpn peer put(). If the last reference is dropped, the peer is freed. Because llist for each entry() reads the next pointer after the loop body executes, it may attempt to access memory that has already been freed when advancing to the next entry.Recommendations
Update the Linux kernel to a version where the
unlock ovpn() function has been patched to use llist for each entry safe(), which caches the next pointer before executing the loop body.Exploit
