{"id":"AZL-90486","summary":"CVE-2026-52947 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.143.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: qrtr: fix refcount saturation and potential UAF in qrtr_port_remove\n\nIn qrtr_port_remove(), the socket reference count is decremented via\n__sock_put() before the port is removed from the qrtr_ports XArray and\nbefore the RCU grace period elapses.\n\nThis breaks the fundamental RCU update paradigm. It exposes a race\nwindow where a concurrent RCU reader (such as qrtr_reset_ports() or\nqrtr_port_lookup()) can obtain a pointer to the socket from the XArray,\nand attempt to call sock_hold() on a socket whose reference count has\nalready dropped to zero.\n\nThis exact race condition was hit during syzkaller fuzzing, leading to\nthe following refcount saturation warning and a potential Use-After-Free:\n\n  refcount_t: saturated; leaking memory.\n  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1273 at lib/refcount.c:22 refcount_warn_saturate+0xae/0x1d0\n  Modules linked in: qrtr(+) bochs drm_shmem_helper ...\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n   qrtr_reset_ports net/qrtr/af_qrtr.c:768 [inline] [qrtr]\n   __qrtr_bind.isra.0+0x48b/0x570 net/qrtr/af_qrtr.c:805 [qrtr]\n   qrtr_bind+0x17d/0x210 net/qrtr/af_qrtr.c:901 [qrtr]\n   kernel_bind+0xe4/0x120 net/socket.c:3592\n   qrtr_ns_init+0x1a6/0x380 net/qrtr/ns.c:715 [qrtr]\n   qrtr_proto_init+0x3b/0xff0 net/qrtr/af_qrtr.c:169 [qrtr]\n   do_one_initcall+0xf5/0x5e0 init/main.c:1283\n   ...\n   \u003c/TASK\u003e\n\nFix this by deferring the reference count decrement until after the\nxa_erase() and the synchronize_rcu() complete.\n\n(Note: The v1 of this patch incorrectly replaced __sock_put() with\nsock_put(). As Simon Horman pointed out, the callers of qrtr_port_remove()\nstill hold a reference to the socket, so freeing the socket memory here\nwould lead to a subsequent UAF in the caller. Thus, the __sock_put() is\nkept, but only repositioned to close the RCU race.)","modified":"2026-08-28T17:47:53.582639738Z","published":"2026-06-24T17:17:04Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-52947"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-52947"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.143.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-90486.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
