In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinmux: fix race causing mux_owner NULL with active mux_usecount
commit 5a3e85c3c397 ("pinmux: Use sequential access to access desc->pinmux data") tried to address the issue when two client of the same gpio calls pinctrl_select_state() for the same functionality, was resulting in NULL pointer issue while accessing desc->mux_owner. However, issue was not completely fixed due to the way it was handled and it can still result in the same NULL pointer.
The issue occurs due to the following interleaving:
mutex_lock(desc->mux) desc->mux_usecount++; // becomes 1 desc->mux_owner...

pinmux: fix race causing mux_owner NULL with active mux_usecount
commit 5a3e85c3c397 ("pinmux: Use sequential access to access desc->pinmux data") tried to address the issue when two client of the same gpio calls pinctrl_select_state() for the same functionality, was resulting in NULL pointer issue while accessing desc->mux_owner. However, issue was not completely fixed due to the way it was handled and it can still result in the same NULL pointer.
The issue occurs due to the following interleaving:
mutex_lock(desc->mux) desc->mux_usecount++; // becomes 1 desc->mux_owner = owner; mutex_unlock(desc->mux)
This sequence leads to a state where the pin appears to be in use
(mux_usecount == 1) but has no owner (mux_owner == NULL), which can
cause NULL pointer on next pin_request on the same pin.
Ensure that updates to mux_usecount and mux_owner are performed atomically under the same lock. Only clear mux_owner when mux_usecount reaches zero and no new owner has been assigned.
