Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rust: devres: fix race between concurrent revokers There is a potential race condition when two paths try to revoke a Devres concurrently. The driver core's devres_release_all() calls Revocable::revoke() via the release callback, while Devres::drop() calls revoke_nosync() on another CPU. The revoker that does not claim the is_available swap returns immediately, but the revoker that did may still be executing drop_in_place() on the inner data. This can cause a use-after-free when the other revoker's caller proceeds to drop adjacent resources that drop_in_place() still references (e.g., Devres<DmaMappedSgt> racing with SGTable freeing the backing sg_table and pages). Fix this by adding a Completion. The release callback signals the Completion after revoke() finishes, and Devres::drop() waits for it when it loses the is_available swap. This ensures the wrapped object is fully torn down before Devres::drop() returns.

It is not reachable from network packets or a remote protocol.\nAC:L - The attacker can drive both sides: one CPU in device_unbind_cleanup()/devres_release_all() calling Revocable::revoke() (which sleeps in synchronize_rcu(), widening the window), and another dropping the Devres-containing object (SGTable, Arc\u003cirq::Registration\u003e, PWM Chip data). That is an attacker-controlled race, not an uncontrolled layout condition.\nPR:L - Unbind/rmmod is privileged, but per driver-removal UAF scoring an unprivileged local user with the device (DRM render node, PWM sysfs on TH1520 boards, IRQ-generating I/O) can hold/drop Devres-backed objects or keep the other CPU in teardown while the device is unbound. This does not require init-namespace root or a user-namespace capability.\nUI:N - Exploitation does not need a separate victim action such as opening a file or clicking UI. The attacker performs device I/O or holds extra refs themselves while routine unbind, module unload, or hot-unplug runs.\nS:U - Impact is kernel memory corruption and privilege escalation on the same host. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other distinct security-authority boundary.\nC:H - The bug is a use-after-free: the losing revoker returns while drop_in_place() still uses inner data (e.g. dma_unmap_sgtable on SGTable pages, free_irq cookie, IoMem). UAF of those objects yields an arbitrary kernel read primitive.\nI:H - The same UAF of sg_table/pages, IRQ Registration handler state, or MMIO mappings is heap corruption exploitable for writes and control-flow hijack, not a bounded or integrity-neutral fault.\nA:H - Use-after-free of DMA mappings, IRQ registrations, or iomem during unbind can oops/panic the kernel even if not fully exploited, so availability impact is complete."
