Summary

In the Linux kernel, the soc: xilinx driver had a race condition in event registration. Work structures were initialized after registration, which could lead to NULL pointer dereference if firmware triggered an event immediately. Fixed by initializing before registration.

Risk Assessment

Risk of system crash on firmware events, potentially disrupting embedded systems.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix for the zynqmp_power driver.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: xilinx: Fix race condition in event registration The zynqmp_power driver registers handlers for suspend and subsystem restart events using register_event(). However, the work structures (zynqmp_pm_init_suspend_work and zynqmp_pm_init_restart_work) used by these handlers were allocated and initialized after the registration call. This created a race window where, if the firmware triggered an event immediately after registration but before allocation, the callback (suspend_event_callback or subsystem_restart_event_callback) would dereference a NULL pointer in work_pending(), leading to a crash. Fix this by allocating and initializing the work structures before registering the events.
