Summary

In the Linux kernel, the drm/panthor driver has a use-after-free (UAF) race between device unplug and firmware event processing. The panthor_fw_unplug() function frees firmware memory sections, but pending events may try to access the freed memory.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access freed memory, potentially leading to system crashes or arbitrary code execution.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds disable_work_sync() to drain and prevent future invocations of process_fw_events_work().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Fix UAF race between device unplug and FW event processing The function panthor_fw_unplug() will free the FW memory sections. The problem is that there could still be pending FW events which are yet not handled at this point. process_fw_events_work() can in this case try to access said freed memory. Simply call disable_work_sync() to both drain and prevent future invocation of process_fw_events_work().
