CVE-2022-50697

HighCVSS 7.8/10Last modified Oct 15, 2026

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mrp: introduce active flags to prevent UAF when applicant uninit

The caller of del_timer_sync must prevent restarting of the timer, If we have no this synchronization, there is a small probability that the cancellation will not be successful.

And syzbot report the fellowing crash: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in hlist_add_head include/linux/list.h:929 [inline] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in enqueue_timer+0x18/0xa4 kernel/time/timer.c:605 Write at addr f9ff000024df6058 by task syz-fuzzer/2256 Pointer tag: [f9], memory tag: [fe]

To fix it, we can introduce a new active flags to make sure the timer will not restart.
