Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: lpspi: Avoid potential use-after-free in probe()
fsl_lpspi_probe() is allocating/disposing memory manually with
spi_alloc_host()/spi_alloc_target(), but uses
devm_spi_register_controller(). In case of error after the latter call the
memory will be explicitly freed in the probe function by
spi_controller_put() call, but used afterwards by "devm" management outside
probe() (spi_unregister_controller() <- devm_spi_unregister() below).
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000070

A vulnerability was found in the fsl_lpspi_probe() function in the Linux kernel, which handles memory allocation manually with the spi_alloc_host() and spi_alloc_target() functions, but also utilizes the devm_spi_register_controller() function. This could result in a potential use-after-free issue if the devm function fails, because the probe will then utilize spi_controller_put() to perform manual cleanup, but since devm also tracks this resource, it may try to access or free this memory again during the automatic cleanup performed outside of the probe function. This issue could result in crashes or system instability.
Отчет
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not impacted by this CVE, as this vulnerability does not affect the specific versions or configurations of the Linux kernel used in its distributions. This ensures that users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are not exposed to the potential risks associated with this issue and no further action or mitigation is necessary for systems running this operating system.
