In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: nvec: fix use-after-free in nvec_rx_completed()
In nvec_rx_completed(), when an incomplete RX transfer is detected,
nvec_msg_free() is called to return the message back to the pool by
clearing its 'used' atomic flag. Immediately after this, the code
accesses nvec->rx->data[0] to check the message type.
Since nvec_msg_free() marks the pool slot as available via atomic_set(),
any concurrent or subsequent call to nvec_msg_alloc() could claim that
same slot and overwrite its data[] array. Reading nvec->rx->data[0] after
freeing the message is therefore a use-after-free.
Fix this by saving the message type byte before calling nvec_msg_free(),
then using the saved value for the battery quirk check.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nvec driver. An incomplete receive (RX) transfer in the nvec_rx_completed() function can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. This occurs because memory is freed and then immediately accessed, allowing a concurrent memory allocation to overwrite the freed data. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause memory corruption, leading to a denial of service or possibly privilege escalation.
