CVE-2024-56772
Publication date:
08/01/2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
kunit: string-stream: Fix a UAF bug in kunit_init_suite()<br />
<br />
In kunit_debugfs_create_suite(), if alloc_string_stream() fails in the<br />
kunit_suite_for_each_test_case() loop, the "suite->log = stream"<br />
has assigned before, and the error path only free the suite->log&#39;s stream<br />
memory but not set it to NULL, so the later string_stream_clear() of<br />
suite->log in kunit_init_suite() will cause below UAF bug.<br />
<br />
Set stream pointer to NULL after free to fix it.<br />
