In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: processor: Fix previous acpi_processor_errata_piix4() fix
After commi f132e089fe89 ("ACPI: processor: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in acpi_processor_errata_piix4()"), device pointers may be dereferenced after dropping references to the device objects pointed to by them, which may cause a use-after-free to occur.
Moreover, debug messages about enabling the errata may be printed if the errata flags corresponding to them are unset.
Address all of these issues by moving message printing to the points in the code where the errata flags are set.
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free vulnerability in Linux kernel ACPI processor errata handling allows local attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code via device pointer dereference after reference dropping in acpi_processor_errata_piix4(). The vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions and was introduced in a previous fix attempt (commit f132e089fe89); it has been resolved across stable kernel branches with no active public exploitation identified.
