Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
intel_th: fix MSC output device reference leak
intel_th_output_open() looks up the output device with
bus_find_device_by_devt(), which returns the device with a reference that
must be dropped after use.
commit 95fc36a234da ("intel_th: fix device leak on output open()")
attempted to drop the reference from intel_th_output_release(). However,
a successful open replaces file->f_op with the output driver file
operations before returning, so close runs the output driver release
callback instead.
For MSC outputs, close runs intel_th_msc_release(), which only removes
the per-file iterator and does not drop the device reference taken by
intel_th_output_open(). Consequently, every successful MSC output open
leaks one device reference.
Drop the device reference from intel_th_msc_release(), which is the
release path actually used for MSC output files. Remove the now-unused
intel_th_output_release() callback from intel_th_output_fops.
A flaw was found in the intel_th (Intel Trace Hub) driver within the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs because the intel_th_output_open() function acquires a device reference that is not properly released by the intel_th_msc_release() function when handling Message Signaled Interrupt (MSC) outputs. Consequently, each successful MSC output open operation leads to a device reference leak. A local attacker could repeatedly trigger this memory leak, potentially exhausting system resources and causing a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This issue affects Intel Trace Hub (intel_th). MSC output device reference from bus_find_device_by_devt() is never dropped. Systems without Intel TH hardware are not affected.
