Affected Products, Subsystems & Sectors

What to Know

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

greybus: raw: fix use-after-free if write is called after disconnect

If a user writes to the chardev after disconnect has been called, the

kernel panics with the following trace (with

CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON=y):

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000218

...

Disconnect calls gb_connection_destroy, which ends up freeing the

connection object. When gb_operation_sync is called in the write file

operations, its gets a freed connection as parameter and the kernel

panics.

The gb_connection_destroy cannot be moved out of the disconnect

function, as the Greybus subsystem expect all connections belonging to a

bundle to be destroyed when disconnect returns.

To prevent this bug, use a rw lock to synchronize access between write

and disconnect. This guarantees that the write function doesn't try

to use a disconnected connection. (NVD)
