CVE-2023-52492

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: fix NULL pointer in channel unregistration function __dma_async_device_channel_register() can fail. In case of failure, chan->local is freed (with free_percpu()), and chan->local is nullified. When dma_async_device_unregister() is called (because of managed API or intentionally by DMA controller driver), channels are unconditionally unregistered, leading to this NULL pointer: [ 1.318693] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000d0 [...] [ 1.484499] Call trace: [ 1.486930] device_del+0x40/0x394 [ 1.490314] device_unregister+0x20/0x7c [ 1.494220] __dma_async_device_channel_unregister+0x68/0xc0 Look at dma_async_device_register() function error path, channel device unregistration is done only if chan->local is not NULL. Then add the same condition at the beginning of __dma_async_device_channel_unregister() function, to avoid NULL pointer issue whatever the API used to reach this function.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: dmaengine: corrige el puntero NULL en la función de cancelación del registro del canal __dma_async_device_channel_register() puede fallar. En caso de falla, chan->local se libera (con free_percpu()) y chan->local se anula. Cuando se llama a dma_async_device_unregister() (debido a una API administrada o intencionalmente por el controlador del controlador DMA), los canales se anulan incondicionalmente, lo que lleva a este puntero NULL: [1.318693] No se puede manejar la desreferencia del puntero NULL del kernel en la dirección virtual 00000000000000d0 [...] [ 1.484499] Seguimiento de llamadas: [ 1.486930] device_del+0x40/0x394 [ 1.490314] device_unregister+0x20/0x7c [ 1.494220] __dma_async_device_channel_unregister+0x68/0xc0 Mire la ruta de error de la función dma_async_device_register(), cancelación del registro del dispositivo La ración se realiza sólo si chan->local es no nulo. Luego agregue la misma condición al comienzo de la función __dma_async_device_channel_unregister(), para evitar problemas de puntero NULL cualquiera que sea la API utilizada para alcanzar esta función.
