Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: lpspi: Avoid potential use-after-free in probe() fsl_lpspi_probe() is allocating/disposing memory manually with
spi_alloc_host()/spi_alloc_target(), but uses
devm_spi_register_controller(). In case of error after the latter call the
memory will be explicitly freed in the probe function by
spi_controller_put() call, but used afterwards by "devm" management outside
probe() (spi_unregister_controller() <- devm_spi_unregister() below). Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000070

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: spi: lpspi: evita el posible use-after-free en probe() fsl_lpspi_probe() está asignando/eliminando memoria manualmente con spi_alloc_host()/spi_alloc_target(), pero usa devm_spi_register_controller() . En caso de error después de la última llamada, la memoria se liberará explícitamente en la función de sonda mediante la llamada a spi_controller_put(), pero la administración "devm" externa a probe() la utilizará después (spi_unregister_controller() &lt;- devm_spi_unregister() a continuación). No se puede manejar la desreferencia del puntero NULL del kernel en la dirección virtual 0000000000000070...

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.
