Summary

In the Linux kernel, the s390/ism driver has a use-after-free vulnerability. During ism_dev_exit(), an interrupt handler may be active in parallel, accessing freed data structures, leading to memory safety violation.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential exploitation of use-after-free to execute arbitrary code or crash the system, which could compromise system integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that calls free_irq() before freeing data structures to drain ongoing interrupt handlers.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/ism: Fix UAF of sba and ieq during ism_dev_exit() A ism interrupt handler can be active in parallel with ism_dev_exit(), accessing freed data structures. No new interrupts will be generated after unregister_ieq(). Drain ongoing interrupt handlers by free_irq(), before freeing ism data structures.
