Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: cadence-quadspi: Implement refcount to handle unbind during busy
driver support indirect read and indirect write operation with
assumption no force device removal(unbind) operation. However
force device removal(removal) is still available to root superuser.
Unbinding driver during operation causes kernel crash. This changes
ensure driver able to handle such operation for indirect read and
indirect write by implementing refcount to track attached devices
to the controller and gracefully wait and until attached devices
remove operation completed before proceed with removal operation.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s cadence-quadspi SPI controller driver. The driver did not implement reference counting when devices are bound/unbound, assuming that forced removals (“unbind”) will not happen while indirect read or write operations are ongoing. However, a root user can force device removal even during busy operations, and this can lead to a kernel crash.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
