"The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-21731 advisory.
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nbd: don't allow reconnect after
disconnect Following process can cause nbd_config UAF: 1) grab nbd_config temporarily; 2)
nbd_genl_disconnect() flush all recv_work() and release the initial reference: nbd_genl_disconnect
nbd_disconnect_and_put nbd_disconnect flush_workqueue(nbd->recv_workq) if
(test_and_clear_bit(NBD_RT_HAS_CONFIG_REF, ...)) nbd_config_put -> due to step 1), reference is still not
zero 3) nbd_genl_reconfigure() queue recv_work() again; nbd_genl_reconfigure config =
nbd_get_config_unlocked(nbd) if (!config) -> succeed if (!test_bit(NBD_RT_BOUND, ...)) -> succeed
nbd_reconnect_socket queue_work(nbd->recv_workq, &args->work) 4) step 1) release the reference; 5)
Finially, recv_work() will trigger UAF: recv_work nbd_config_put(nbd) -> nbd_config is freed
atomic_dec(&config->recv_threads) -> UAF Fix the problem by clearing NBD_RT_BOUND in
nbd_genl_disconnect(), so that nbd_genl_reconfigure() will fail. (CVE-2025-21731)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
