CVE-2026-90319

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the rapidio subsystem's rio_alloc_net() stores the newly allocated rio_net in mport->net before rio_scan_alloc_net() registers the device. If rio_add_net() fails, put_device() releases the rio_net, but mport->net is left pointing at the freed object, potentially leading to double free.

Risk Assessment

May lead to dangling pointer dereference and double free in the kernel, potentially enabling privilege escalation or system hang.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that clears mport->net in the rio_add_net() failure path.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rapidio: clear mport->net when rio_add_net() fails rio_alloc_net() stores the newly allocated rio_net in mport->net before rio_scan_alloc_net() registers the device. If rio_add_net() fails, rio_scan_alloc_net() drops the device reference with put_device(), which releases the rio_net through the device release callback. However, mport->net is left pointing at the freed object. A later mport unregister path can then dereference the dangling mport->net pointer and may try to free the same rio_net again. Clear mport->net in the rio_add_net() failure path, matching the cleanup done for the destID table allocation failure path.
