Summary

In the Linux kernel's fastrpc module, there is a potential race condition during buffer unmap operations. The buffer is removed from the list only after the unmap operation, which can cause issues when multiple threads invoke unmap concurrently. The fix moves the list removal before the unmap, re-adding the buffer if unmap fails.

Risk Assessment

The race condition could lead to unpredictable system behavior, including potential data corruption or crashes. An attacker with local access might exploit this to escalate privileges or destabilize the system.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that removes the buffer from the list before the unmap operation as soon as possible. Also monitor for updates from your distribution.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: fastrpc: Remove buffer from list prior to unmap operation fastrpc_req_munmap_impl() is called to unmap any buffer. The buffer is getting removed from the list after it is unmapped from DSP. This can create potential race conditions if multiple threads invoke unmap concurrently, where one thread may remove the entry from the list while another thread's unmap operation is still ongoing. Fix this by removing the buffer entry from the list before calling the unmap operation. If the unmap fails, the entry is re-added to the list so that userspace can retry the unmap, or alternatively, the buffer will be cleaned up during device release when the DSP process is torn down and all DSP-side mappings are freed along with remaining buffers in the list.
