Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: fix use-after-free of the add_lock mutex Commit 6098475d4cb4 ("spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on
SPI buses") introduced a per-controller mutex. But mutex_unlock() of
said lock is called after the controller is already freed: spi_unregister_controller(ctlr) -> put_device(&ctlr->dev) -> spi_controller_release(dev) -> mutex_unlock(&ctrl->add_lock) Move the put_device() after the mutex_unlock().

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: spi: corrige el use-after-free del mutex add_lock. El commit 6098475d4cb4 ("spi: corrige el punto muerto al agregar controladores SPI en buses SPI") introdujo un mutex por controlador. Pero mutex_unlock() de dicho bloqueo se llama después de que el controlador ya está liberado: spi_unregister_controller(ctlr) -> put_device(&ctlr->dev) -> spi_controller_release(dev) -> mutex_unlock(&ctrl->add_lock) Mueva put_device() después el mutex_unlock().
