GHSA-P64F-V3W3-F3GW
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-03-01 00:30 – Updated: 2024-12-10 18:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: Fix use-after-free with devm_spi_alloc_*
We can't rely on the contents of the devres list during spi_unregister_controller(), as the list is already torn down at the time we perform devres_find() for devm_spi_release_controller. This causes devices registered with devm_spi_alloc_{master,slave}() to be mistakenly identified as legacy, non-devm managed devices and have their reference counters decremented below 0.

Instead, determine the devm allocation state as a flag on the controller which is guaranteed to be stable during cleanup.
