Summary

In the Linux kernel, the HSR protocol function hsr_get_port_ndev does not hold RCU lock or device reference, potentially leading to use-after-free in the caller.

Risk Assessment

May lead to memory corruption and potential system compromise by an attacker.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds RCU lock and device reference in hsr_get_port_ndev.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hsr: hold rcu and dev lock for hsr_get_port_ndev hsr_get_port_ndev calls hsr_for_each_port, which need to hold rcu lock. On the other hand, before return the port device, we need to hold the device reference to avoid UaF in the caller function.
