  "summary": "net: ravb: serialize PTP clock teardown",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: ravb: serialize PTP clock teardown\n\nravb_ptp_interrupt() can race with ravb_ptp_stop() and pass the clock to\nptp_clock_event() while ptp_clock_unregister() is freeing it. This can\nlead to a use-after-free.\n\nUse READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() for lockless access to the clock pointer.\nAtomically detach it with xchg() before disabling PTP interrupts, then\nsynchronize all IRQs which can invoke ravb_ptp_interrupt() before\nunregistering the detached clock.\n\nA handler which read the old pointer completes before the clock is\nunregistered, while later handlers read NULL and skip the event.",

      "scenario": "AV:L - The UAF is reached from the ravb gPTP IRQ handler (ravb_interrupt/ravb_multi_interrupt \u2192 ravb_ptp_interrupt \u2192 ptp_clock_event) racing local ravb_ptp_stop teardown (close, suspend, TX-timeout work, ethtool ringparam). GIS_PTCF capture IRQs come from the on-chip AVB timer, not from parsing received Ethernet frames.\nAC:L - The attacker drives both sides: ordinary sockets or automotive idle autosuspend trigger ravb_ptp_stop, and PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST on /dev/ptpX (write fd, no CAP_SYS_TIME) enables capture IRQs. Pre-fix stop cleared GIC then called ptp_clock_unregister without synchronize_irq, so an in-flight handler can be raced repeatedly.\nPR:L - On Renesas R-Car/RZ automotive and industrial systems, unprivileged traffic arms ravb_tx_timeout_work and platform autosleep calls ravb_close without CAP_NET_ADMIN; EXTTS enable needs only a writable PTP chardev, not host root. This matches CVE-2025-21801 and CVE-2023-52509 ravb scoring.\nUI:N - Interface teardown runs from the TX watchdog or from automatic suspend/idle power management on the affected platforms, with no separate victim user action required.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts the host kernel's struct ptp_clock heap object within a single kernel security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - ptp_clock_event takes ptp->tsevqs_lock and walks the timestamp queue list after ptp_clock_release has kfree'd the clock, so reclaiming that slab provides an arbitrary kernel-memory read primitive.\nI:H - The same IRQ-context UAF writes via enqueue_external_timestamp into list-queue objects the attacker can reclaim, yielding a kernel heap write primitive suitable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Use-after-free of struct ptp_clock in hardirq context causes a kernel oops or panic and takes down the system's primary Ethernet interface."
