Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_ffa: Snapshot notifier callbacks under lock
Both notification handlers currently look up a notifier callback under
notify_lock, drop the lock, and then dereference the returned
notifier entry. A concurrent unregister can delete and free that
entry in the gap, leaving the handler to dereference stale memory.
Copy the callback pointer and callback data while notify_lock is
still held and invoke the callback only after the lock is dropped.
This keeps the existing callback execution model while removing the
use-after-free window in both the framework and non-framework
notification paths.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ARM Firmware Framework for Arm (FFA) component. This vulnerability occurs because the system's notification handlers do not properly manage memory when processing callbacks. A timing issue can allow a callback to be unregistered and freed while it is still being accessed, leading to a use-after-free condition. This can result in system instability or unexpected behavior.
