CVE-2026-31532 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: raw: fix ro->uniq use-after-free in raw_rcv() raw_release() unregisters raw CAN receive filters via can_rx_unregister(), but receiver deletion is deferred with call_rcu(). This leaves a window where raw_rcv() may still be running in an RCU read-side critical section after raw_release() frees ro->uniq, leading to a use-after-free of the percpu uniq storage. Move free_percpu(ro->uniq) out of raw_release() and into a raw-specific socket destructor. can_rx_unregister() takes an extra reference to the socket and only drops it from the RCU callback, so freeing uniq from sk_destruct ensures the percpu area is not released until the relevant callbacks have drained. [mkl: applied manually]
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the raw CAN socket implementation of the Linux kernel. This issue arises in the 'raw_rcv()' function, where the 'raw_release()' function unregisters CAN receive filters but defers the deletion of the receiver. As a result, 'raw_rcv()' may still be executing in a read-side critical section after 'raw_release()' has freed the unique per-CPU storage, leading to a use-after-free condition. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree, specifically versions 4.1 and later.
The vulnerability has been fixed in the Linux kernel. Users should upgrade to the latest version.
