  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2022-49951
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware_loader: Fix use-after-free during unregister In the following code within firmware_upload_unregister(), the call to device_unregister() could result in the dev_release function freeing the fw_upload_priv structure before it is dereferenced for the call to module_put(). This bug was found by the kernel test robot using CONFIG_KASAN while running the firmware selftests. device_unregister(&fw_sysfs->dev); module_put(fw_upload_priv->module); The problem is fixed by copying fw_upload_priv->module to a local variable for use when calling device_unregister().

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: firmware_loader: Se corrige el error "use-after-free" durante la anulación del registro. En el siguiente código, dentro de firmware_upload_unregister(), la llamada a device_unregister() podría provocar que la función dev_release libere la estructura fw_upload_priv antes de que se desreferenciara para la llamada a module_put(). Este error fue detectado por el robot de pruebas del kernel mediante CONFIG_KASAN al ejecutar las autopruebas del firmware. device_unregister(&fw_sysfs->dev); module_put(fw_upload_priv->module); El problema se corrige copiando fw_upload_priv->module a una variable local para su uso al llamar a device_unregister().
