Summary

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to bind attributes in sysfs for the reset device has been resolved. The issue allowed users to unbind the device, leading to a use-after-free error.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to attacks that exploit this vulnerability to access memory after it has been freed, potentially leading to unpredictable system behavior.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and to monitor systems for unauthorized attempts to unbind devices.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: reset: gpio: suppress bind attributes in sysfs This is a special device that's created dynamically and is supposed to stay in memory forever. We also currently don't have a devlink between it and the actual reset consumer. Suppress sysfs bind attributes so that user-space can't unbind the device because - as of now - it will cause a use-after-free splat from any user that puts the reset control handle.
