DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: macb: fix clk handling on PCI glue driver removal

platform_device_unregister() may still want to use the registered clks during runtime resume callback.

Note that there is a commit d82d5303c4c5 ("net: macb: fix use after free on rmmod") that addressed the similar problem of clk vs platform device unregistration but just moved the bug to another place.

Save the pointers to clks into local variables for reuse after platform device is unregistered.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free in Linux kernel macb driver allows local authenticated attackers to cause denial of service or potentially escalate privileges during module removal. The vulnerability occurs in the PCI glue driver when platform_device_unregister() triggers a runtime resume callback that attempts to access already-freed clock structures. …
