From: Wei Yang <albinwyang@tencent.com> stable inclusion from stable-v5.4.302 commit 1d1596d68a6f11d28f677eedf6cf5b17dbfeb491 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IDB6QZ CVE: CVE-2025-40271 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 895b4c0c79b092d732544011c3cecaf7322c36a1 ] Pde is erased from subdir rbtree through rb_erase(), but not set the node to EMPTY, which may result in uaf access. We should use RB_CLEAR_NODE() set the erased node to EMPTY, then pde_subdir_next() will return NULL to avoid uaf access. We found an uaf issue while using stress-ng testing, need to run testcase getdent and tun in the same time. The steps of the issue is as follows: 1) use getdent to traverse dir /proc/pid/net/dev_snmp6/, and current pde is tun3; 2) in the [time windows] unregister netdevice tun3 and tun2, and erase them from rbtree. erase tun3 first, and then erase tun2. the pde(tun2) will be released to slab; 3) continue to getdent process, then pde_subdir_next() will return pde(tun2) which is released, it will case uaf access.
