3th percentile - higher than 3% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the MTD NAND driver lacked serialization of lock/unlock operations against other NAND operations. nand_lock() and nand_unlock() called controller operations without holding the device lock, potentially racing with concurrent UBI/UBIFS erase/write operations.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves possible cmd_pending conflicts on the NAND controller, which could lead to data corruption or filesystem instability.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds nand_get_device()/nand_release_device() around lock/unlock operations.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mtd: rawnand: serialize lock/unlock against other NAND operations nand_lock() and nand_unlock() call into chip->ops.lock_area/unlock_area without holding the NAND device lock. On controllers that implement SET_FEATURES via multiple low-level PIO commands, these can race with concurrent UBI/UBIFS background erase/write operations that hold the device lock, resulting in cmd_pending conflicts on the NAND controller. Add nand_get_device()/nand_release_device() around the lock/unlock operations to serialize them against all other NAND controller access.
