Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: Reinit dev->spinlock between attachments to low-level drivers
struct comedi_device is the main controlling structure for a COMEDI
device created by the COMEDI subsystem. It contains a member spinlock
containing a spin-lock that is initialized by the COMEDI subsystem, but
is reserved for use by a low-level driver attached to the COMEDI device
(at least since commit 25436dc9d84f ("Staging: comedi: remove RT
code")).
Some COMEDI devices (those created on initialization of the COMEDI
subsystem when the "comedi.comedi_num_legacy_minors" parameter is
non-zero) can be attached to different low-level drivers over their
lifetime using the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl command. This can result in
inconsistent lock states being reported when there is a mismatch in the
spin-lock locking levels used by each low-level driver to which the
COMEDI device has been attached. Fix it by reinitializing
dev->spinlock before calling the low-level driver's attach function
pointer if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is enabled.
A flaw was found in the comedi subsystem of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability arises when a comedi_device is reattached to different low-level drivers using the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl command. A local user with appropriate privileges could exploit this by repeatedly attaching the device, leading to inconsistent spin-lock states. This inconsistency may cause system instability or unexpected behavior within the kernel.
