In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptp: ocp: fix resource freeing order
Commit a60fc3294a37 ("ptp: rework ptp_clock_unregister() to disable events") added a call to ptp_disable_all_events() which changes the configuration of pins if they support EXTTS events. In ptp_ocp_detach() pins resources are freed before ptp_clock_unregister() and it leads to use-after-free during driver removal. Fix it by changing the order of free/unregister calls. To avoid irq handler running on the other core while ptp device unregistering, call synchronize_irq() after HW is configured to stop producing irqs and no irqs are in-flight.
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in the Linux kernel ptp_ocp driver crashes the kernel during device removal on systems equipped with Open Compute Platform PTP hardware. The teardown function ptp_ocp_detach() frees pin resources before calling ptp_clock_unregister(), which then accesses those freed resources via ptp_disable_all_events(), introduced by commit a60fc3294a37. EPSS is 0.15% (5th percentile) and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no public exploitation and very low real-world risk outside specialized environments.
Technical ContextAI
The ptp_ocp kernel driver manages Open Compute Platform Precision Time Protocol hardware, exposing hardware timestamping pins as kernel PTP clock devices. Commit a60fc3294a37 reworked ptp_clock_unregister() to call ptp_disable_all_events(), which reconfigures EXTTS-capable pins during unregistration. The bug arises because ptp_ocp_detach() - the driver teardown path - deallocates pin resources prior to invoking ptp_clock_unregister(), creating a use-after-free when the unregister path dereferences those already-freed structures. A secondary SMP race condition exists where an IRQ handler on a sibling CPU core can fire between hardware shutdown and device unregistration; the fix addresses this with synchronize_irq(). CWE-401 (Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime) is assigned, though the described mechanism is more precisely a use-after-free (CWE-416); this CWE discrepancy does not affect remediation. Affected CPEs: cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (versions introduced by a60fc3294a37) and cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.1:rc1 through rc7.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Linux kernel 7.0.13 or Linux 7.1, which incorporate the reordering fix and synchronize_irq() call. Distributors should apply the upstream stable patches at https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aa03698bb28d3be5ee180adb185395054b342b04 and https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/627366c51145a07f675b1800fb5ea2ec960bd900. As a compensating control on systems that cannot be immediately patched, avoid hot-removing OCP PTP hardware or unloading the ptp_ocp module during live operation - this eliminates the teardown code path entirely, with the trade-off that hardware cannot be gracefully detached without a reboot. Systems not physically equipped with OCP PTP hardware have no exposure and require no action.
