In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "hwmon: (ibmpex) fix use-after-free in high/low store"
This reverts commit 6946c726c3f4c36f0f049e6f97e88c510b15f65d.
Jean Delvare points out that the patch does not completely fix the reported problem, that it in fact introduces a (new) race condition, and that it may actually not be needed in the first place.
Various AI reviews agree. Specific and relevant AI feedback:
" This reordering sets the driver data to NULL before removing the sensor attributes in the loop below.
ibmpex_show_sensor() retrieves this driver data via dev_get_drvdata() but does not check if it is NULL before dereferencing it to access data->sensors[].
If a userspace process reads a sensor file (like temp1_input) while this delete function is running, could it race with the dev_set_drvdata(..., NULL) call here and crash in ibmpex_show_sensor()?
Would it be safer to keep the original order where device_remove_file() is called before c
