In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/ap: use generic driver_override infrastructure
When the AP masks are updated via apmask_store() or aqmask_store(),
ap_bus_revise_bindings() is called after ap_attr_mutex has been
released.
This calls __ap_revise_reserved(), which accesses the driver_override
field without holding any lock, racing against a concurrent
driver_override_store() that may free the old string, resulting in a
potential UAF.
Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure, which
protects all accesses with an internal spinlock.
Note that unlike most other buses, the AP bus does not check
driver_override in its match() callback; the override is checked in
ap_device_probe() and __ap_revise_reserved() instead.
Also note that we do not enable the driver_override feature of struct
bus_type, as AP - in contrast to most other buses - passes "" to
sysfs_emit() when the driver_override pointer is NULL. Thus, printing
"\n" instead of "(null)\n".
Additionally, AP has a custom counter that is modified in the
corresponding custom driver_override_store().
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's s390/ap driver. A race condition occurs when AP masks are updated, leading to __ap_revise_reserved() accessing the driver_override field without proper locking. This can result in a Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability, where memory is accessed after it has been freed. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
