CVE-2024-27005CVE-2024-27005
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
interconnect: Don't access req_list while it's being manipulated
The icc_lock mutex was split into separate icc_lock and icc_bw_lock
mutexes in [1] to avoid lockdep splats. However, this didn't adequately
protect access to icc_node::req_list.
The icc_set_bw() function will eventually iterate over req_list while
only holding icc_bw_lock, but req_list can be modified while only
holding icc_lock. This causes races between icc_set_bw(), of_icc_get(),
and icc_put().
Example A:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
icc_set_bw(path_a)
mutex_lock(&icc_bw_lock);
icc_put(path_b)
mutex_lock(&icc_lock);
aggregate_requests()
hlist_for_each_entry(r, ...
hlist_del(...
<r = invalid pointer>
Example B:
CPU0 CPU1
