Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpio: pca953x: fix pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock race Ensure that `i2c_lock' is held when setting interrupt latch and mask in
pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock() in order to avoid races. The other (non-probe) call site pca953x_gpio_set_multiple() ensures the
lock is held before calling pca953x_write_regs(). The problem occurred when a request raced against irq_bus_sync_unlock()
approximately once per thousand reboots on an i.MX8MP based system. * Normal case 0-0022: write register AI|3a {03,02,00,00,01} Input latch P0 0-0022: write register AI|49 {fc,fd,ff,ff,fe} Interrupt mask P0 0-0022: write register AI|08 {ff,00,00,00,00} Output P3 0-0022: write register AI|12 {fc,00,00,00,00} Config P3 * Race case 0-0022: write register AI|08 {ff,00,00,00,00} Output P3 0-0022: write register AI|08 {03,02,00,00,01} *** Wrong register *** 0-0022: write register AI|12 {fc,00,00,00,00} Config P3 0-0022: write register AI|49 {fc,fd,ff,ff,fe} Interrupt mask P0

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: gpio: pca953x: corrige la ejecución pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock Asegúrese de que se mantenga `i2c_lock' al configurar el bloqueo de interrupción y la máscara en pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock() para evitar ejecuciones. El otro sitio de llamada (que no es de sonda) pca953x_gpio_set_multiple() garantiza que el bloqueo se mantenga antes de llamar a pca953x_write_regs(). El problema ocurrió cuando una solicitud corrió contra irq_bus_sync_unlock() aproximadamente una vez por cada mil reinicios en un sistema basado en i.MX8MP. * Caso normal 0-0022: escribir registro AI|3a {03,02,00,00,01} Enclavamiento de entrada P0 0-0022: escribir registro AI|49 {fc,fd,ff,ff,fe} Máscara de interrupción P0 0 -0022: escribir registro AI|08 {ff,00,00,00,00} Salida P3 0-0022: escribir registro AI|12 {fc,00,00,00,00} Configuración P3 * Caso de ejecución 0-0022: escribir registro AI|08 {ff,00,00,00,00} Salida P3 0-0022: escribir registro AI|08 {03,02,00,00,01} *** Registro incorrecto *** 0-0022: escribir registro AI|12 {fc,00,00,00,00} Config P3 0-0022: escribir registro AI|49 {fc,fd,ff,ff,fe} Máscara de interrupción P0

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the device to be enabled before writing. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
