In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thunderbolt: Don't access a DP tunnel after its DPRX read was canceled
tb_dp_dprx_work() checks ->dprx_canceled before it takes tb->lock so it
misses a tb_dp_dprx_stop() that could not cancel the already running
work. It then polls the DPRX capabilities and runs the callback for a
tunnel that has already been torn down while the domain is suspending or
going away.
This can be hit by cancelling the DPRX read from outside the ordered
tb->wq: During suspend tb_disconnect_and_release_dp() does just this and
with a later patch tb_stop() will do it as well. The latter in combination
with the Apple NHI where the DPRX read never completed is how I hit
this.
Check the flag with tb->lock held instead and check it again in
tb_dp_tunnel_active() because the callback runs after the lock has been
dropped again.
Also clear the flag in tb_dp_dprx_start() so that it only ever describes
the work that is currently in flight.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Thunderbolt subsystem. A race condition occurs when DisplayPort (DP) read operations are canceled during system suspend or device disconnection, allowing work handlers to access tunnel structures that have already been torn down. A local attacker could trigger this timing window during power management transitions to cause a kernel crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity for Red Hat products because triggering the condition requires local unprivileged access on systems equipped with active Thunderbolt hardware, and the potential impact is restricted to a system denial of service. Standard enterprise server deployments rarely employ Thunderbolt controllers or DisplayPort tunneling peripherals, which minimizes practical exposure in common production environments. Exploitation additionally relies on winning a race condition during power management transitions such as system sleep or bus shutdown, posing no threat to data confidentiality or system integrity.
