Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: psp: check for device unregister when creating assoc
psp_assoc_device_get_locked() obtains a psp_dev reference via
psp_dev_get_for_sock() (which uses psp_dev_tryget() under RCU);
it then acquires psd->lock and drops the reference. Before
the lock is taken, psp_dev_unregister() can run to completion:
take psd->lock, clear out state, unlock, drop the registration
reference.
The expectation is that the lock prevents device unregistration,
but much like with netdevs special care has to be taken when
"upgrading" a reference to a locked device. Add the missing
check if device is still alive. psp_dev_is_registered() exists
already but had no callers, which makes me wonder if I either
forgot to add this or lost the check during refactoring...
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Platform Security Processor (PSP) network driver. This vulnerability occurs when creating a device association, where the system fails to properly check if the device has been unregistered. A race condition exists where the device can be unregistered before a lock is acquired, leading to an invalid state. This could potentially result in system instability or a denial of service.
