CVE-2023-2235
CVE-2023-2235 · Use-after-free in Linux kernel's Performance Events subsystem
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
This page shows selected source facts. See the linked advisories for the complete description and affected versions.
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel Performance Events system can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The perf_group_detach function did not check the event's siblings' attach_state before calling add_event_to_groups(), but remove_on_exec made it possible to call list_del_event() on before detaching from their group, making it possible to use a dangling pointer causing a use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit fd0815f632c24878e325821943edccc7fde947a2.
