Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/dp_mst: Handle torn-down topology gracefully in drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe()
A hotplug or link-loss event can tear down the MST topology
(setting mgr->mst_state = false and mgr->mst_primary = NULL) concurrently
with a caller invoking drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe(). Since the check
is already performed under mgr->lock, the condition is not a programming
error but a valid race -- the topology was valid when the caller decided
to call this function, but was torn down before the lock was acquired.
Replace the drm_WARN_ON() with a graceful early return. This eliminates
spurious kernel warnings and the resulting compositor crashes observed
when connecting/disconnecting DP MST monitors, while keeping the correct
behavior of doing nothing when MST is not active. A drm_dbg_mst() trace
is added so the skipped probe remains observable under MST debug logging.
The existing WARN_ON(mgr->mst_primary) in drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr_set_mst()
already catches the case where the topology is initialized twice, so no
diagnostic coverage is lost.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's DisplayPort (DP) Multi-Stream Transport (MST) module. A race condition can occur during hotplug or link-loss events when the MST topology is being torn down while the drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe() function is called. This can lead to spurious kernel warnings and cause the display compositor to crash when connecting or disconnecting DP MST monitors, resulting in a denial of service.
Отчет
This issue affects systems using DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST). A race between topology teardown on hotplug/link-loss and drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe() could trigger spurious WARN_ON assertions when the topology is torn down between the call and lock acquisition. Systems without DP MST daisy-chained displays are not affected.
