CVE-2024-36932

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal/debugfs: Prevent use-after-free from occurring after cdev removal Since thermal_debug_cdev_remove() does not run under cdev->lock, it can run in parallel with thermal_debug_cdev_state_update() and it may free the struct thermal_debugfs object used by the latter after it has been checked against NULL. If that happens, thermal_debug_cdev_state_update() will access memory that has been freed already causing the kernel to crash. Address this by using cdev->lock in thermal_debug_cdev_remove() around the cdev->debugfs value check (in case the same cdev is removed at the same time in two different threads) and its reset to NULL. Cc :6.8+ <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 6.8+

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: Thermal/debugfs: evita que se produzca use after free después de la eliminación de cdev. Dado que Thermal_debug_cdev_remove() no se ejecuta bajo cdev-&gt;lock, puede ejecutarse en paralelo con Thermal_debug_cdev_state_update() y puede liberar el objeto struct Thermal_debugfs utilizado por este último después de haberlo verificado con NULL. Si eso sucede, Thermal_debug_cdev_state_update() accederá a la memoria que ya ha sido liberada, lo que provocará que el kernel falle. Solucione esto usando cdev-&gt;lock en Thermal_debug_cdev_remove() alrededor de la verificación del valor de cdev-&gt;debugfs (en caso de que el mismo cdev se elimine al mismo tiempo en dos subprocesos diferentes) y se restablezca a NULL. CC :6.8+ # 6.8+
