Summary

In the Linux kernel, the fsl-mc bus has a use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability during driver matching. The match() function is called without holding the device lock, allowing unprotected access to the driver_override field.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges or execute arbitrary code in kernel context, leading to full system compromise.

Recommendation

Apply the latest Linux kernel patch that implements the generic driver_override infrastructure with proper locking.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bus: fsl-mc: use generic driver_override infrastructure When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match() callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF. Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking care of proper locking internally. Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock held is intentional. [1]
