In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: spi-fsl-lpspi: fix teardown order issue (UAF)
There is a teardown order issue in the driver. The SPI controller is registered using devm_spi_register_controller(), which delays unregistration of the SPI controller until after the fsl_lpspi_remove() function returns.
As the fsl_lpspi_remove() function synchronously tears down the DMA channels, a running SPI transfer triggers the following NULL pointer dereference due to use after free:
| fsl_lpspi 42550000.spi: I/O Error in DMA RX | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 [...]
| Call trace: | fsl_lpspi_dma_transfer+0x260/0x340 [spi_fsl_lpspi] | fsl_lpspi_transfer_one+0x198/0x448 [spi_fsl_lpspi] | spi_transfer_one_message+0x49c/0x7c8 | __spi_pump_transfer_message+0x120/0x420 | __spi_sync+0x2c4/0x520 | spi_sync+0x34/0x60 | spidev_message+0x20c/0x378 [spidev] | spidev_ioctl+0x398/0x750 [spidev] [...]
Switch from devm_spi_register_controller() to spi_register_controller() in fsl_lpspi_probe() and add the corresponding spi_unregister_controller() in fsl_lpspi_remove().
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in Linux kernel SPI subsystem (fsl_lpspi driver) causes NULL pointer dereference when DMA channels are torn down while SPI transfers are active. Local attackers with low privileges can trigger denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code on affected systems running Linux kernel versions from 4.10 through 7.0-rc2, particularly impacting embedded and IoT devices using Freescale LPSPI controllers. …
