Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: qcom: pmic_glink: Fix race during initialization
As pointed out by Stephen Boyd it is possible that during initialization
of the pmic_glink child drivers, the protection-domain notifiers fires,
and the associated work is scheduled, before the client registration
returns and as a result the local "client" pointer has been initialized.
The outcome of this is a NULL pointer dereference as the "client"
pointer is blindly dereferenced.
Timeline provided by Stephen:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
ucsi->client = NULL;
devm_pmic_glink_register_client()
client->pdr_notify(client->priv, pg->client_state)
pmic_glink_ucsi_pdr_notify()
schedule_work(&ucsi->register_work)
<schedule away>
pmic_glink_ucsi_register()
ucsi_register()
pmic_glink_ucsi_read_version()
pmic_glink_ucsi_read()
pmic_glink_ucsi_read()
pmic_glink_send(ucsi->client)
<client is NULL BAD>
ucsi->client = client // Too late!
This code is identical across the altmode, battery manager and usci
child drivers.
Resolve this by splitting the allocation of the "client" object and the
registration thereof into two operations.
This only happens if the protection domain registry is populated at the
time of registration, which by the introduction of commit '1ebcde047c54
("soc: qcom: add pd-mapper implementation")' became much more likely.
