In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (hp-wmi-sensors) Fix use-after-free in fungible_show()
nsensor->current_state is dynamically replaced as the sensor's state changes. update_numeric_sensor_from_wobj() does this by freeing the old string and installing a new one:
if (strcmp(trimmed, nsensor->current_state)) { new_string = hp_wmi_strdup(dev, trimmed); if (new_string) { devm_kfree(dev, nsensor->current_state); nsensor->current_state = new_string; } }
This function is only ever called from hp_wmi_update_info() while state->lock is held, so the free-and-replace itself is properly serialized against concurrent updates.
fungible_show(), however, reads the same pointer after the lock has already been dropped:
err = hp_wmi_update_info(state, info); if (err) return err;
switch (prop) { ... case HP_WMI_PROPERTY_CURRENT_STATE: seq_printf(seqf, "%s\n", nsensor->current_state); break;
hp_wmi_update_info() takes state->lock internally and releases it before returning, so by the time fungible_show() dereferences nsensor->current_state in seq_printf(), no lock is held. Two processes reading a sensor's current_state debugfs entry at overlapping times (or one reading it while another read of the same sensor triggers a refresh) can race: one thread's seq_printf() can be part-way through printing the string at the moment another thread's call into update_numeric_sensor_from_wobj() frees it with devm_kfree() and installs a new pointer, causing a use-after-free read.
Take state->lock around the read in fungible_show() as well, so it can never run concurrently with the free-and-replace in update_numeric_sensor_from_wobj().
