In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soundwire: bus: Fix unbalanced pm_runtime_put() causing usage count underflow
This reverts commit
443a98e649b4 ("soundwire: bus: use pm_runtime_resume_and_get()")
Change calls to pm_runtime_resume_and_get() back to pm_runtime_get_sync().
This fixes a usage count underrun caused by doing a pm_runtime_put() even
though pm_runtime_resume_and_get() returned an error.
The three affected functions ignore -EACCES error from trying to get
pm_runtime, and carry on, including a put at the end of the function.
But pm_runtime_resume_and_get() does not increment the usage count if it
returns an error. So in the -EACCES case you must not call
pm_runtime_put().
The documentation for pm_runtime_get_sync() says:
"Consider using pm_runtime_resume_and_get() ... as this is likely to
result in cleaner code."
In this case I don't think it results in cleaner code because the
pm_runtime_put() at the end of the function would have to be conditional on
the return value from pm_runtime_resume_and_get() at the top of the
function.
pm_runtime_get_sync() doesn't have this problem because it always
increments the count, so always needs a put. The code can just flow through
and do the pm_runtime_put() unconditionally.
A reference count underflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SoundWire bus driver. When pm_runtime_resume_and_get() returns an error (-EACCES), the code continues execution and calls pm_runtime_put() at the end, even though the usage count was never incremented. This causes a usage count underflow in the runtime power management subsystem.
Отчет
This affects systems with SoundWire audio hardware. The underflow can cause power management state inconsistencies but typically does not crash the system. The issue occurs only in specific error scenarios during device power state transitions.
