Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: atcspi200: fix use-after-free when driver unbind DMA resource is initialized after SPI controller registration. So when driver unbind, this can trigger a use-after-free when DMA is torn down while the controller is still alive and triggers DMA transfers.
When the driver unbinds, the Direct Memory Access (DMA) resource can be prematurely deallocated while the SPI controller is still active and initiating DMA transfers. This timing issue can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, which may allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.
Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-825.
Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as not affected.
