In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: eventpoll: fix ep_remove struct eventpoll / struct file UAF ep_remove() (via ep_remove_file()) cleared file->f_ep under file->f_lock but then kept using @file inside the critical section (is_file_epoll(), hlist_del_rcu() through the head, spin_unlock). A concurrent __fput() taking the eventpoll_release() fastpath in that window observed the transient NULL, skipped eventpoll_release_file() and ran to f_op->release / file_free(). For the epoll-watches-epoll case, f_op->release is ep_eventpoll_release() -> ep_clear_and_put() -> ep_free(), which kfree()s the watched struct eventpoll. Its embedded ->refs hlist_head is exactly where epi->fllink.pprev points, so the subsequent hlist_del_rcu()'s "*pprev = next" scribbles into freed kmalloc-192 memory. In addition, struct file is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, so the slot backing @file could be recycled by alloc_empty_file() -- reinitializing f_lock and f_ep -- while ep_remove() is still nominally inside that lock. The upshot is an attacker-controllable kmem_cache_free() against the wrong slab cache. Pin @file via epi_fget() at the top of ep_remove() and gate the critical section on the pin succeeding. With the pin held @file cannot reach refcount zero, which holds __fput() off and transitively keeps the watched struct eventpoll alive across the hlist_del_rcu() and the f_lock use, closing both UAFs. If the pin fails @file has already reached refcount zero and its __fput() is in flight. Because we bailed before clearing f_ep, that path takes the eventpoll_release() slow path into eventpoll_release_file() and blocks on ep->mtx until the waiter side's ep_clear_and_put() drops it. The bailed epi's share of ep->refcount stays intact, so the trailing ep_refcount_dec_and_test() in ep_clear_and_put() cannot free the eventpoll out from under eventpoll_release_file(); the orphaned epi is then cleaned up there. A successful pin also proves we are not racing eventpoll_release_file() on this epi, so drop the now-redundant re-check of epi->dying under f_lock. The cheap lockless READ_ONCE(epi->dying) fast-path bailout stays.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - eventpoll: fix ep_remove struct eventpoll / struct file UAF ep_remove() (via ep_remove_file()) cleared     file->f_ep under file->f_lock but then kept using @file inside the critical section (is_file_epoll(),     hlist_del_rcu() through the head, spin_unlock). A concurrent __fput() taking the eventpoll_release()     fastpath in that window observed the transient NULL, skipped eventpoll_release_file() and ran to     f_op->release / file_free(). For the epoll-watches-epoll case, f_op->release is ep_eventpoll_release() ->     ep_clear_and_put() -> ep_free(), which kfree()s the watched struct eventpoll. Its embedded ->refs     hlist_head is exactly where epi->fllink.pprev points, so the subsequent hlist_del_rcu()'s *pprev = next     scribbles into freed kmalloc-192 memory. In addition, struct file is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, so the slot     backing @file could be recycled by alloc_empty_file() -- reinitializing f_lock and f_ep -- while     ep_remove() is still nominally inside that lock. The upshot is an attacker-controllable kmem_cache_free()     against the wrong slab cache. Pin @file via epi_fget() at the top of ep_remove() and gate the critical     section on the pin succeeding. With the pin held @file cannot reach refcount zero, which holds __fput()     off and transitively keeps the watched struct eventpoll alive across the hlist_del_rcu() and the f_lock     use, closing both UAFs. If the pin fails @file has already reached refcount zero and its __fput() is in     flight. Because we bailed before clearing f_ep, that path takes the eventpoll_release() slow path into     eventpoll_release_file() and blocks on ep->mtx until the waiter side's ep_clear_and_put() drops it. The     bailed epi's share of ep->refcount stays intact, so the trailing ep_refcount_dec_and_test() in     ep_clear_and_put() cannot free the eventpoll out from under eventpoll_release_file(); the orphaned epi is     then cleaned up there. A successful pin also proves we are not racing eventpoll_release_file() on this     epi, so drop the now-redundant re-check of epi->dying under f_lock. The cheap lockless     READ_ONCE(epi->dying) fast-path bailout stays. (CVE-2026-46242)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
