For an iSCSI\nTransportID (FORMAT CODE 01b), iscsi_parse_pr_out_transport_id() returns\nthe ISID in iport_ptr as a raw pointer into that mapped buffer.\n\nThe function then unmaps the buffer with transport_kunmap_data_sg() before\ndereferencing iport_ptr in strcmp(), __core_scsi3_locate_pr_reg() and\ncore_scsi3_alloc_registration(). When the parameter list spans more than\none page (PARAMETER LIST LENGTH > 4096), transport_kmap_data_sg() uses\nvmap() and transport_kunmap_data_sg() does vunmap(), so the kernel virtual\naddress backing iport_ptr is torn down and every subsequent dereference is\na use-after-free read of the unmapped region.\n\nKeep the parameter list mapped until iport_ptr is no longer needed: drop\nthe early transport_kunmap_data_sg() and unmap once on the success path,\nright before returning. The error paths already unmap through the existing\n\"if (buf) transport_kunmap_data_sg(cmd)\" at the out: label, which now runs\non every post-map error exit because buf is no longer cleared early.

initiator sends PERSISTENT_RESERVE_OUT with REGISTER AND MOVE over TCP (port 3260); iscsit_process_scsi_cmd()→target_execute_cmd()→target_scsi3_emulate_pr_out()→core_scsi3_emulate_pro_register_and_move() with no local access required.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the PR-OUT parameter list length (>4096 to force vmap/vunmap), iSCSI TransportID format 01b with ISID, and can establish prerequisite PR registration and reservation via prior SCSI commands on the same session; no uncontrollable race or layout dependency exists.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires only the ability to act as a network SCSI/iSCSI client with LUN access to an exported target; no Linux UID, capability, or init-namespace root on the storage server is needed—only standard iSCSI initiator connectivity (CHAP/ACL when configured).\nUI:N - Triggering is fully automated once an iSCSI session exists: the attacker issues scripted REGISTER, RESERVE, then REGISTER AND MOVE commands with a crafted >4 KiB parameter list; no victim mount, click, or other interactive action is required.\nS:U - The UAF corrupts kernel heap state inside the target-core PR handler on the storage host; impact stays within that kernel security domain and does not inherently cross VM, container, or IOMMU boundaries (standard host compromise, not escape).\nC:H - After vunmap(), iport_ptr aliases freed kernel virtual address space and is dereferenced in strcmp(), __core_scsi3_locate_pr_reg(), and snprintf() into pr_reg_isid; per kernel CVSS guidance, UAF reads enable arbitrary kernel memory disclosure when uncertain.\nI:H - UAF reads of attacker-influenced unmapped PR-OUT data drive strcmp-based registration matching and snprintf copies into persistent kernel pr_reg structures; memory corruption/UAF is scored High for integrity because it can be leveraged for control-flow or state manipulation.\nA:H - Dereferencing iport_ptr after transport_kunmap_data_sg() vunmap() on multi-page buffers causes immediate invalid kernel virtual address accesses (oops/panic) on every qualifying REGISTER AND MOVE; UAF availability impact is High per kernel guidance even before full exploit development." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux",
