Summary

In the Linux kernel's i2c amd-mp2 driver, on adapter registration failure, the I2C context is freed by devres, but the PCI driver may still dereference the stale pointer in IRQ and sleep callbacks. The fix unregisters the callback before returning the error.

Risk Assessment

Use of a stale pointer can lead to system crashes or driver malfunction, potentially affecting I2C device operation.

Recommendation

Install a Linux kernel update containing the fix that unregisters the callback before returning the adapter registration error.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: amd-mp2: Unregister callback on adapter add failure amd_mp2_register_cb() stores the platform I2C context in the MP2 PCI driver's callback table before the adapter is registered. If i2c_add_adapter() fails, probe returns and devres frees the context, but the PCI driver can still dereference the stale pointer from its IRQ and system-sleep callbacks. Unregister the callback before returning the adapter registration error.
