{"id":"CVE-2026-64599","aliases":[],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-64599","summary":"crypto: amlogic - avoid double cleanup in meson_crypto_probe()","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncrypto: amlogic - avoid double cleanup in meson_crypto_probe()\n\nWhen meson_allocate_chanlist() fails after a partial allocation, it already\nunwinds the allocated chanlist state through its local error path.\nmeson_crypto_probe() then jump to error_flow and calls\nmeson_free_chanlist() again, causing the same per-flow resources to be torn\ndown twice. In the reproduced failure path, the second teardown\nre-entered crypto_engine_exit() on an already destroyed worker and KASAN\nreported a slab-use-after-free in kthread_destroy_worker().\n\nPrevent double-free by handling partial allocation failures locally within\nmeson_allocate_chanlist() and skipping the outer cleanup path.\n\nThe bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are\ndeveloping for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing\nv6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly\navailable.\n\nThe bug was reproduced in a QEMU x86_64 guest booted with KASAN on v7.1,\nusing the reproducer under tools/testing/meson_crypto_probe. The reproducer\nforces the second dma_alloc_attrs() call in the gxl-crypto probe path to\nreturn NULL, making meson_allocate_chanlist() fail after partial\ninitialization. On the unpatched kernel this reliably triggered a\nslab-use-after-free. With this fix applied, the same reproducer no longer\nemits any KASAN report and the probe fails cleanly with -ENOMEM.\n\n    ==================================================================\n    BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in kthread_destroy_worker+0xb2/0xd0\n    Read of size 8 at addr ff1100010c057a68 by task insmod/265\n\n    CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 265 Comm: insmod Tainted: G           O        7.1.0-rc2-00376-g810af9adc907-dirty #10 PREEMPT(lazy)\n    Tainted: [O]=OOT_MODULE\n    Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014\n    Call Trace:\n     <TASK>\n     dump_stack_lvl+0x68/0xa0\n     print_report+0xcb/0x5e0\n     ? __virt_addr_valid+0x21d/0x3f0\n     ? kthread_destroy_worker+0xb2/0xd0\n     ? kthread_destroy_worker+0xb2/0xd0\n     kasan_report+0xca/0x100\n     ? kthread_destroy_worker+0xb2/0xd0\n     kthread_destroy_worker+0xb2/0xd0\n     meson_crypto_probe+0x4d0/0xc10 [amlogic_gxl_crypto]\n     platform_probe+0x99/0x140\n     really_probe+0x1c6/0x6a0\n     ? __pfx___device_attach_driver+0x10/0x10\n     __driver_probe_device+0x248/0x310\n     ? acpi_driver_match_device+0xb0/0x100\n     driver_probe_device+0x48/0x210\n     ? __pfx___device_attach_driver+0x10/0x10\n     __device_attach_driver+0x160/0x320\n     bus_for_each_drv+0x104/0x190\n     ? __pfx_bus_for_each_drv+0x10/0x10\n     ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2c/0x50\n     __device_attach+0x19d/0x3b0\n     ? __pfx___device_attach+0x10/0x10\n     ? do_raw_spin_unlock+0x53/0x220\n     device_initial_probe+0x78/0xa0\n     bus_probe_device+0x5b/0x130\n     device_add+0xcfd/0x1430\n     ? __pfx_device_add+0x10/0x10\n     ? insert_resource+0x34/0x50\n     ? lock_release+0xc9/0x290\n     platform_device_add+0x24e/0x590\n     ? __pfx_meson_crypto_probe_repro_init+0x10/0x10 [meson_crypto_probe_repro]\n     meson_crypto_probe_repro_init+0x330/0xff0 [meson_crypto_probe_repro]\n     do_one_initcall+0xc0/0x450\n     ? __pfx_do_one_initcall+0x10/0x10\n     ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2c/0x50\n     ? __create_object+0x59/0x80\n     ? kasan_unpoison+0x27/0x60\n     do_init_module+0x27b/0x7d0\n     ? __pfx_do_init_module+0x10/0x10\n     ? kasan_quarantine_put+0x84/0x1d0\n     ? kfree+0x32c/0x510\n     ? load_module+0x561e/0x5ff0\n     load_module+0x54fe/0x5ff0\n     ? __pfx_load_module+0x10/0x10\n     ? security_file_permission+0x20/0x40\n     ? kernel_read_file+0x23d/0x6e0\n     ? mmap_region+0x235/0x4a0\n     ? __pfx_kernel_read_file+0x10/0x10\n     ? __file_has_perm+0x2c0/0x3e0\n     init_module_from_file+0x158/0x180\n     ? __pfx_init_module_from_file+0x10/0x10\n     ? __lock_acquire+0x45a/0x1ba0\n     ? idempotent_init_module+0x315/0x610\n     ? lock_release+0xc9/0x290\n     ? lock\n---truncated---","published":"2026-08-06T07:13:53.328Z","modified":"2026-08-08T03:32:18.711298956Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Linux","name":"Kernel","fixedVersion":"5.10.261"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5b452019a4127f63c1f2147237fc287d1581f606"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d827ade51a24e18d81afb9f32756d339520a14c"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6dda8406d8a3da2519c8b388d443d7357839cb63"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6effdbaca3cd8354540bdf42c7f5fb84412afeb7"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/84a00be9b736aa5dce902a290f62cbbbdcfab9ed"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c2c48aa7a6be36d4c93da75d14d4b4f2f4168c81"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c80360b4e85099fc3835378a96a59c0a2480fb07"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f30e2b879bda14bc3e1524fba6f8ab9ec119da90"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/64xxx/CVE-2026-64599.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-64599"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-08T03:32:18.711298956Z"}}
