In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: pf1550: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
Using the devm_ variant for requesting IRQ before the devm_
variant for allocating/registering the power_supply handle, means that
the power_supply handle will be deallocated/unregistered before the
interrupt handler (since devm_ naturally deallocates in reverse
allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race
condition where an interrupt can fire just after the power_supply
handle has been freed, but just before the corresponding
unregistration of the IRQ handler has run.
This will lead to the IRQ handler calling power_supply_changed() with
a freed power_supply handle. Which usually crashes the system or
otherwise silently corrupts the memory...
Note that there is a similar situation which can also happen during
probe(); the possibility of an interrupt firing before registering
the power_supply handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation
of using the power_supply handle uninitialized in
power_supply_changed().
Fix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested after
the registration of the power_supply handle.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's power supply driver for the pf1550 component. A race condition during system shutdown or startup could lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. This issue allows an interrupt to access memory that has been deallocated or not yet initialized, potentially causing the system to crash or corrupt memory. This could result in a denial of service.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: pf1550: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed() Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_` variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means that the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the interrupt handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply` handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding unregistration of the IRQ handler has run. This will lead to the IRQ handler calling `power_supply_changed()` with a freed `power_supply` handle. Which usually crashes the system or otherwise silently corrupts the memory...
