CVE-2024-49924CVE-2024-49924
debian / debian_linux
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: pxafb: Fix possible use after free in pxafb_task()
In the pxafb_probe function, it calls the pxafb_init_fbinfo function,
after which &fbi->task is associated with pxafb_task. Moreover,
within this pxafb_init_fbinfo function, the pxafb_blank function
within the &pxafb_ops struct is capable of scheduling work.
If we remove the module which will call pxafb_remove to make cleanup,
it will call unregister_framebuffer function which can call
do_unregister_framebuffer to free fbi->fb through
put_fb_info(fb_info), while the work mentioned above will be used.
The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| pxafb_task
pxafb_remove |
unregister_framebuffer(info) |
do_unregister_framebuffer(fb_info) |
put_fb_info(fb_info) |
// free fbi->fb | set_
