CVE-2024-46680CVE-2024-46680
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Fix random crash seen while removing driver
This fixes the random kernel crash seen while removing the driver, when
running the load/unload test over multiple iterations.
1) modprobe btnxpuart
2) hciconfig hci0 reset
3) hciconfig (check hci0 interface up with valid BD address)
4) modprobe -r btnxpuart
Repeat steps 1 to 4
The ps_wakeup() call in btnxpuart_close() schedules the psdata->work(),
which gets scheduled after module is removed, causing a kernel crash.
This hidden issue got highlighted after enabling Power Save by default
in 4183a7be7700 (Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Enable Power Save feature on
startup)
The new ps_cleanup() deasserts UART break immediately while closing
serdev device, cancels any scheduled ps_work and destroys the ps_lock
mutex.
