Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: ti: tusb1210: Resolve charger-det crash if charger psy is unregistered
The power_supply frame-work is not really designed for there to be
long living in kernel references to power_supply devices.
Specifically unregistering a power_supply while some other code has
a reference to it triggers a WARN in power_supply_unregister():
WARN_ON(atomic_dec_return(&psy->use_cnt));
Folllowed by the power_supply still getting removed and the
backing data freed anyway, leaving the tusb1210 charger-detect code
with a dangling reference, resulting in a crash the next time
tusb1210_get_online() is called.
Fix this by only holding the reference in tusb1210_get_online()
freeing it at the end of the function. Note this still leaves
a theoretical race window, but it avoids the issue when manually
rmmod-ing the charger chip driver during development.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's phy: ti: tusb1210 driver, where unregistering a power_supply device while other code holds a reference to it causes a crash. This issue happens due to a dangling reference in the tusb1210_get_online() function after the power supply is removed and its backing data freed.
Отчет
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not vulnerable to this CVE, as it does not affect the versions or configurations of the Linux kernel used in its distributions.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
