CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: atm: ueagle-atm: wait for pre-firmware load in .disconnect()
ueagle-atm uses the asynchronous request_firmware_nowait() in .probe(),
but does not wait for its completion, not even in .disconnect(); so, if the
device is unplugged meanwhile, its teardown runs concurrently with that.
Even though this inconsistency is worth addressing on its own, it has also
triggered several bug reports in syzbot over the years (some auto-closed)
where the firmware sysfs fallback mechanism (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER)
creates a firmware subdirectory in the device directory during its removal,
which might hit unexpected conditions in kernfs, apparently, depending at
which point the add and remove operations raced. (See links.)
The pattern is:
usb ?-?: Direct firmware load for ueagle-atm/eagle?.fw failed with error -2
usb ?-?: Falling back to sysfs fallback for: ueagle-atm/eagle?.fw
<ERROR>
Call trace:
...
kernfs_create_dir_ns
sysfs_create_dir_ns
create_dir
kobject_add_internal
kobject_add_varg
kobject_add
class_dir_create_and_add
get_device_parent
device_add
fw_load_sysfs_fallback
fw_load_from_user_helper
firmware_fallback_sysfs
_request_firmware
request_firmware_work_func
...
(Some variations are observed, after fw_load_sysfs_fallback(), e.g., [1].)
While the kernfs side is being looked at, the ueagle-atm side can be fixed
by waiting for the pre-firmware load in the .disconnect() handler.
This change has a similar approach to previous work by Andrey Tsygunka [2]
(wait_for_completion() in .disconnect()), but it is relatively different in
design/implementation; using the Originally-by tag for credit assignment.
This has been tested with:
- synthetic reproducer to check the error path;
- USB gadget (virtual device) to check the firmware upload path;
- QEMU device emulator to check the device ID re-enumeration path;
(The latter two were written by Claude; no other code/text in this commit.)

| Nozomi Networks Labs identified a CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') vulnerability in the event notification functionality of KUNBUS piControl in version 2.6.2 that allows a local authenticated attacker to corrupt kernel heap and event-list state and disclose a small amount of adjacent kernel memory, resulting in kernel memory corruption and denial of service, by issuing concurrent crafted requests from multiple threads through the piControl character device. |
| Nozomi Networks Labs identified a CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') vulnerability in the configuration and process-image management functionality of KUNBUS piControl in version 2.6.2 that allows a local authenticated attacker to trigger use-after-free and invalid pointer dereferences on kernel configuration objects, resulting in kernel memory corruption and denial of service, by issuing concurrent crafted requests through the piControl character device. |
| rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink race condition vulnerability that allows local attackers to cause rsync to apply arbitrary ACLs or extended attributes to unintended files by substituting a symlink at a predictable destination path between the file write and the subsequent acl_set_file() or lsetxattr() call. Attackers can exploit this timing window to redirect ACL and xattr application through a crafted symlink to files outside the intended destination tree, potentially granting elevated permissions and enabling local privilege escalation. |
| IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to a race condition. |
| IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain unauthorized access to files due to a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition. |
| OP-TEE OS through 4.10.0, fixed in commit 8794043, contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the Trusted Application loader that allows attackers with the ability to load a signed Trusted Application to corrupt secure-world kernel memory by setting the TA_FLAG_CONCURRENT flag in a user TA signed header. Attackers can cause two concurrent sessions to operate on the same shared context without locking, corrupting the uctx->vm_info.regions list during memref parameter mapping and unmapping to free vm_region nodes still in use, resulting in a use-after-free in S-EL1 secure-world kernel memory. |
| llama.cpp builds b1886 through b7445 contain a race condition use-after-free vulnerability in the LLaMA-Android JNI wrapper where bench_1model() and free_1context() lack synchronization, allowing Thread A to operate on freed memory while Thread B concurrently frees the llama_context. Attackers can exploit this by performing heap spray with attacker-controlled data containing a fake vtable to hijack the vtable pointer at offset +0x30, causing llama_batch_allocr::clear() to dereference arbitrary memory and achieve remote code execution. |
| LightFTP 2.3.1 contains a residual race condition vulnerability (an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-11144) in the worker_thread_cleanup() function of ftpserv.c that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to destabilize or crash the daemon by triggering unsynchronized access to shared per-connection state without holding the required mutex lock. Attackers can send a data-transfer command such as LIST followed immediately by ABOR to exploit the missing synchronization on shared context and detached thread id reuse, resulting in daemon destabilization or crash which can lead to a denial of service. The 2.3.1 patch only narrowed the timing window (an extra re-check and reordered cleanup), it never added the missing lock, so the underlying race remains. |
| rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink race condition vulnerability in the sender's directory scanning logic that allows attackers to cause the sender to enumerate and transfer files outside the module root's intended subtree. Attackers who can create or manipulate symlinks in a path component of the scanned tree can replace a symlink with a directory entry pointing outside the module root between the lstat() call and the subsequent opendir() call, exposing files beyond the intended root in both daemon-mode and non-daemon sender-side scanning. |
| rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink race condition vulnerability in the --remove-source-files feature that allows attackers with symlink creation access to cause arbitrary file deletion. Attackers can atomically substitute a symlink for a source file between transfer completion and the unlink() call, causing rsync to delete the symlink target rather than the intended source file. |
| rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink race condition vulnerability in the sender's source tree traversal that allows an attacker who can manipulate a parent directory of the source tree to redirect file reads to unintended paths. Attackers can atomically replace a parent directory component with a symlink pointing outside the source root between path resolution and file open operations to disclose file contents outside the intended transfer root. |
| rsync before 3.5.0 contains a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability in the non-daemon receiver's destination directory handling that allows an attacker who can manipulate destination path parent components to redirect file writes to unintended locations. Attackers can substitute a symlink for a component of the destination path between the path resolution and chdir() call, causing the receiver's working directory to be established outside the intended destination tree so that subsequent relative-path file writes land in unintended filesystem locations. |
| llama.cpp builds b7492 through the latest b9060 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in llama-server affecting six tokenization endpoints (/tokenize, /detokenize, /infill, /apply-template, /rerank, and /anthropic/count_tokens) that bypass the task queue and access ctx_server.vocab directly on HTTP worker threads. Attackers can exploit a time-of-check-time-of-use race condition where the main thread destroys and frees vocab after the synchronization lock is released but before the handler finishes using it, causing a crash or potential code execution when --sleep-idle-seconds is configured. |
| llama.cpp builds b7492 through the latest b9060 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the vocab pointer of llama-server when the --sleep-idle-seconds feature is enabled, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Attackers can trigger the vulnerability by sending requests to affected endpoints while the server transitions to sleep mode, causing concurrent worker threads to dereference a freed vocab pointer that can be reclaimed with attacker-controlled data to achieve remote code execution. |
