In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
greybus: raw: fix use-after-free if write is called after disconnect
If a user writes to the chardev after disconnect has been called, the
kernel panics with the following trace (with
CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON=y):
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000218
...

Disconnect calls gb_connection_destroy, which ends up freeing the
connection object. When gb_operation_sync is called in the write file
operations, its gets a freed connection as parameter and the kernel
panics.
The gb_connection_destroy cannot be moved out of the disconnect
function, as the Greybus subsystem expect all connections belonging to a
bundle to be destroyed when disconnect returns.
To prevent this bug, use a rw lock to synchronize access between write
and disconnect. This guarantees that the write function doesn't try
to use a disconnected connection.
