DescriptionNVD

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

rpmsg: char: Fix use-after-free on probe error path

rpmsg_chrdev_probe() stores the newly allocated eptdev in the default endpoint's priv pointer before calling rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add(). If rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() then fails, its error path frees eptdev while the default endpoint may still dispatch callbacks with the stale priv pointer.

Avoid publishing eptdev through the default endpoint until rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() succeeds. Messages received before the priv pointer is published should be ignored by rpmsg_ept_cb(). Flow-control updates can hit rpmsg_ept_flow_cb() in the same window, so make both callbacks return success when priv is NULL.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free in the Linux kernel's rpmsg character device driver (rpmsg_char) allows local attackers on rpmsg-enabled platforms to trigger access to freed endpoint memory during a probe-failure race. The flaw exists because rpmsg_chrdev_probe() publishes the newly allocated eptdev in the default endpoint's priv pointer before rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() completes, so a failed add frees eptdev while the default endpoint can still dispatch callbacks against the stale pointer. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not on the CISA KEV list; it is a defensive stable-tree fix rather than an observed in-the-wild vulnerability.
