Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: airoha: npu: cancel wdt_work after releasing the WDT IRQ
airoha_npu_remove() calls cancel_work_sync() on each core's wdt_work,
but the watchdog IRQ that queues it is requested with devm_request_irq()
and is freed only after .remove() returns. airoha_npu_wdt_handler() can
therefore schedule_work() again once the cancel has returned. struct
airoha_npu, which contains the work, is devm_kzalloc()'d and is freed in
that same unwind, so the late work dereferences freed memory.
Register the work with devm_work_autocancel() before devm_request_irq()
and drop .remove(). Devres runs in reverse order, so the IRQ is freed
before cancel_work_sync(), including when probe fails. A cancel left in
.remove() cannot get that order. Initializing the work first also stops
a pending watchdog interrupt from queuing an uninitialized work item.
Probe currently calls INIT_WORK() only after devm_request_irq().
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Airoha Neural Processing Unit (NPU) driver. During device unbinding or driver removal, an interrupt timing issue allows watchdog tasks to be scheduled after cleanup procedures have completed. A local user with administrative privileges could trigger this flaw to cause a use-after-free condition, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) through a system crash or potential memory corruption.
