When crypto_aead_decrypt() is offloaded asynchronously\n(e.g. the SIMD aead wrapper queuing to cryptd), the cryptd worker runs\ntipc_aead_decrypt_done() later. If the bearer's netns is torn down in the\nmeantime, cleanup_net() -> tipc_exit_net() -> tipc_crypto_stop() frees the\nper-netns tipc_crypto, and the completion then reads it:\ntipc_aead_decrypt_done() dereferences aead->crypto->stats and\naead->crypto->net, and tipc_crypto_rcv_complete() dereferences\naead->crypto->aead[] and the node table -- reading freed memory.\n\nDecoded KASAN splat (v7.1-rc7, CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE + TIPC + TIPC_CRYPTO):\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in tipc_aead_decrypt_done (net/tipc/crypto.c:999)\n Read of size 8 at addr ffff8881056258a8 by task kworker/u16:2/51\n Workqueue: events_unbound\n Call Trace:\n tipc_aead_decrypt_done (net/tipc/crypto.c:999)\n process_one_work (kernel/workqueue.c:3314)\n worker_thread (kernel/workqueue.c:3397 kernel/workqueue.c:3478)\n kthread (kernel/kthread.c:436)\n ret_from_fork (arch/x86/kernel/process.c:158)\n ret_from_fork_asm (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:245)\n\n Allocated by task 169:\n __kasan_kmalloc (mm/kasan/common.c:398 mm/kasan/common.c:415)\n tipc_crypto_start (net/tipc/crypto.c:1502)\n tipc_init_net (net/tipc/core.c:72)\n ops_init (net/core/net_namespace.c:137)\n setup_net (net/core/net_namespace.c:446)\n copy_net_ns (net/core/net_namespace.c:579)\n create_new_namespaces (kernel/nsproxy.c:132)\n __x64_sys_unshare (kernel/fork.c:3316)\n do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63)\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121)\n\n Freed by task 8:\n kfree (mm/slub.c:6566)\n tipc_exit_net (net/tipc/core.c:119)\n cleanup_net (net/core/net_namespace.c:704)\n process_one_work (kernel/workqueue.c:3314)\n kthread (kernel/kthread.c:436)\n\nThis is the same class of bug that commit e279024617134 (\"net/tipc: fix\nslab-use-after-free Read in tipc_aead_encrypt_done\") fixed for the encrypt\nside. The encrypt path takes maybe_get_net(aead->crypto->net) before\ncrypto_aead_encrypt() and drops it with put_net() on the synchronous\nreturn paths and in tipc_aead_encrypt_done(); the -EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY\nreturn keeps the reference for the async callback to release. The decrypt\npath was left without the equivalent guard.\n\nMirror the encrypt-side fix on the decrypt path: take a net reference\nbefore crypto_aead_decrypt() (failing with -ENODEV and the matching\nbearer put if it cannot be acquired), keep it across the\n-EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY async return, and drop it with put_net() on the\nsynchronous success/error return and at the end of\ntipc_aead_decrypt_done().\n\nReproduced under KASAN on v7.1-rc7: a UDP bearer with a cluster key is\nflooded with crafted encrypted frames from an unknown peer (driving the\ncluster-key decrypt path) while the bearer's netns is repeatedly torn\ndown. The completion must run asynchronously to outlive\ntipc_crypto_stop(); on x86 the stock aesni gcm(aes) now decrypts\nsynchronously, so the async path was exercised via cryptd offload. The\nunguarded aead->crypto dereference in tipc_aead_decrypt_done() is the\nunpatched upstream path; tipc_aead_decrypt() still lacks\nmaybe_get_net(aead->crypto->net), so the completion can outlive the free\non any config where crypto_aead_decrypt() goes async.\n\nFound by 0sec automated security-research tooling (https://0sec.ai).","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-07-19T12:02:07.457+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T20:07:47.669+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"net/tipc/crypto.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"fc1b6d6de2208774efd2a20bf0daddb02d18b1e0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"171d31245d11bf84836fad3b394cb465a4d008ec\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"fc1b6d6de2208774efd2a20bf0daddb02d18b1e0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"2d1f21419ec121232c916d3a3fc9b6766473a0e7\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"fc1b6d6de2208774efd2a20bf0daddb02d18b1e0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"0a780653b2a7569a7af9be7d0b00b1251baca63a\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"fc1b6d6de2208774efd2a20bf0daddb02d18b1e0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"eaca7dae02fab70c8d223cffe03cec1b93249ce2\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"fc1b6d6de2208774efd2a20bf0daddb02d18b1e0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"dca7713fe044a2067387948557ea099056e1679e\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"fc1b6d6de2208774efd2a20bf0daddb02d18b1e0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"e18769616fd5a90ec1e12aabbba544c488284292\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"fc1b6d6de2208774efd2a20bf0daddb02d18b1e0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"1eea5e1820a2f5164d706bd1277bc97ff31ce32d\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"fc1b6d6de2208774efd2a20bf0daddb02d18b1e0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"bda3348872a2ef0d19f2df6aa8cb5025adce2f20\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n }\n ]\n }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"net/tipc/crypto.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"5.5\",\n \"status\": \"affected\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"5.5\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.10.260\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.10.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.15.211\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.15.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.1.177\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.6.144\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.12.95\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.18.38\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"7.1.3\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.1.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"7.2\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n }\n ]\n }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/171d31245d11bf84836fad3b394cb465a4d008ec","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2d1f21419ec121232c916d3a3fc9b6766473a0e7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0a780653b2a7569a7af9be7d0b00b1251baca63a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/eaca7dae02fab70c8d223cffe03cec1b93249ce2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dca7713fe044a2067387948557ea099056e1679e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e18769616fd5a90ec1e12aabbba544c488284292","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1eea5e1820a2f5164d706bd1277bc97ff31ce32d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bda3348872a2ef0d19f2df6aa8cb5025adce2f20"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-63801","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-63801","identifiers":["CVE-2026-63801"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
