Summary

In the Linux kernel's SPI driver, a use-after-free vulnerability exists during controller registration. If per-CPU statistics allocation fails, deregistration from the driver core is not performed, leading to use-after-free and uncontrolled register accesses.

Risk Assessment

Memory allocation failure during SPI controller registration can lead to use-after-free of driver resources, potentially causing a system crash or security breach.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that ensures proper deregistration from the driver core when per-CPU statistics allocation fails.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: fix use-after-free on controller registration failure Make sure to deregister from driver core also in the unlikely event that per-cpu statistics allocation fails during controller registration to avoid use-after-free (of driver resources) and unclocked register accesses.
