Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rpmsg: char: Fix use-after-free on probe error path rpmsg_chrdev_probe() stores the newly allocated eptdev in the default endpoint's priv pointer before calling rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add(). If rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() then fails, its error path frees eptdev while the default endpoint may still dispatch callbacks with the stale priv pointer. Avoid publishing eptdev through the default endpoint until rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() succeeds. Messages received before the priv pointer is published should be ignored by rpmsg_ept_cb(). Flow-control updates can hit rpmsg_ept_flow_cb() in the same window, so make both callbacks return success when priv is NULL.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 5.18 < 6.1.178) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.144) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.95) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.38) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 7.1.3)
