CVE-2023-52652

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: NTB: corrige una posible fuga de nombre en ntb_register_device() Si device_register() falla en ntb_register_device(), se debe liberar el nombre del dispositivo asignado por dev_set_name(). Según el comentario en device_register(), las personas que llaman deben usar put_device() para abandonar la referencia en la ruta de error. Así que solucione este problema llamando a put_device() en la ruta del error para que el nombre pueda liberarse en kobject_cleanup(). Como resultado de esto, put_device() en la ruta de error de ntb_register_device() se elimina y se devuelve el error real. [mani: mensaje de confirmación reformulado]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NTB: fix possible name leak in ntb_register_device() If device_register() fails in ntb_register_device(), the device name allocated by dev_set_name() should be freed. As per the comment in device_register(), callers should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling put_device() in the error path so that the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(). As a result of this, put_device() in the error path of ntb_register_device() is removed and the actual error is returned. [mani: reworded commit message]

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.
