Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dpll: fix NULL pointer dereference in dpll_msg_add_pin_ref_sync()
When a dpll_pin is shared across multiple dpll_device instances and
those devices are being unregistered (e.g. during driver module removal),
a NULL pointer dereference can occur in dpll_msg_add_pin_ref_sync().
This happens under the following conditions:
- A pin is registered with two or more dpll devices (dpll_A, dpll_B)
- The pin has ref_sync pairs with other pins
- During unregistration of dpll_A's pins, a ref_sync partner pin is
unregistered first, removing it from dpll_A->pin_refs
- But since the partner pin is still registered with dpll_B, its
dpll_refs is not empty, so dpll_pin_ref_sync_pair_del() does NOT
run and the partner stays in the pin's ref_sync_pins xarray
- When the pin itself is then unregistered from dpll_A, the delete
notification calls dpll_msg_add_pin_ref_sync() which finds the
partner in ref_sync_pins, passe
