Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: defio: Disconnect deferred I/O from the lifetime of struct fb_info Hold state of deferred I/O in struct fb_deferred_io_state. Allocate an instance as part of initializing deferred I/O and remove it only after the final mapping has been closed. If the fb_info and the contained deferred I/O meanwhile goes away, clear struct fb_deferred_io_state.info to invalidate the mapping. Any access will then result in a SIGBUS signal. Fixes a long-standing problem, where a device hot-unplug happens while user space still has an active mapping of the graphics memory. The hot- unplug frees the instance of struct fb_info. Accessing the memory will operate on undefined state.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.22 < 5.15.210) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.176) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.140) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.88) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.30) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 7.0.4)
