Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published

Modified
2026-08-05 12:22
Severity ?
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: fix use-after-free on controller registration failure Make sure to deregister from driver core also in the unlikely event that per-cpu statistics allocation fails during controller registration to avoid use-after-free (of driver resources) and unclocked register accesses.

It is not reachable by remote network traffic.\nAC:L - Although the failing per-CPU allocation is an uncommon error path, a local attacker can apply memory pressure and retry controller registration; there is no race requiring conditions outside the attacker\u0027s control.\nPR:L - Triggering a reprobe through usbfs or similar local device-management interfaces requires local access to the device node, but not real init-namespace root privileges in the strongest reasonable scenario. The resulting stale SPI controller sysfs attributes are also locally accessible.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required once the attacker can trigger the local probe path. The attacker performs the registration/reprobe and follow-on access themselves.\nS:U - The bug corrupts or exposes kernel SPI/driver-core state within the same kernel security authority. There is no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary change.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free of SPI controller or driver resources left registered in driver core after probe failure. Per the kernel scoring guidance, UAF conditions are treated as capable of enabling kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The stale registered controller can reference freed driver resources and callbacks, creating memory-corruption/use-after-free conditions. Per the kernel scoring guidance, UAF is treated as potentially enabling arbitrary write or control-flow compromise.\nA:H - The bug can cause kernel crashes through stale sysfs/device access, NULL dereference, or unclocked register accesses after failed registration. Any such kernel oops or panic is high availability impact."
