Subject: [PATCH] rose: Fix use-after-free in rose_timer_expiry
Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2026 12:09:30 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260117063930.1256413-1-kartikey406@gmail.com> (raw)
A use-after-free bug can occur when rose_timer_expiry() in state
ROSE_STATE_2 releases the rose_neigh structure via rose_neigh_put(),
while the neighbour's timers (ftimer and t0timer) are still active
or being processed.
The race occurs between:
1. rose_timer_expiry() freeing rose_neigh via rose_neigh_put()
2. rose_t0timer_expiry() attempting to rearm itself via
rose_start_t0timer(), which calls add_timer() on the freed
structure
This leads to a KASAN use-after-free report when the timer code
attempts to access the freed memory:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in timer_is_static_object+0x80/0x90
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88807e5e8498 by task syz.4.6813/32052
The buggy address is located 152 bytes inside of freed 512-byte
region allocated by rose_add_node().
Fix this by calling timer_shutdown() on both ftimer and t0timer
before releasing the rose_neigh structure. timer_shutdown() ensures
the timers are stopped and prevents them from being rearmed, even
if their callbacks are currently executing.
This fix is based on code analysis as no C reproducer is available
for this issue.
