Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: buffer: serialize buffer teardown with mode claims
Buffer-mode claims hold mlock to guarantee that the device remains in
buffer mode until the claim is released. Normal buffer updates take
info_exist_lock followed by mlock in iio_update_buffers().
However, iio_device_unregister() disables and deactivates all buffers
without taking mlock. This can invalidate buffer state, including
active_scan_mask, while a buffer-mode claim is held.
Take mlock in iio_disable_all_buffers() so that unregister honors the
mode-claim lifetime guarantee. The info_exist_lock -> mlock ordering
matches iio_update_buffers().
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem. During device unregistration, the kernel disables and deactivates device buffers without acquiring the required lock to synchronize teardown with active buffer-mode claims. A local user could exploit this race condition to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) through a kernel crash caused by an invalid buffer state.
Отчет
This vulnerability has been rated as having a Moderate severity because exploitation requires local privileged access and precise timing during device unregistration, limiting the attack impact to a denial of service. The Industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem is generally relevant only to systems equipped with specialized sensor or data acquisition hardware, which is uncommon in typical enterprise server deployments. Consequently, the likelihood of unintentional exposure or exploitation under default enterprise configurations remains low.
