CVE-2022-49196

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/pseries: Fix use after free in remove_phb_dynamic()

In remove_phb_dynamic() we use &phb->io_resource, after we've called device_unregister(&host_bridge->dev). But the unregister may have freed phb, because pcibios_free_controller_deferred() is the release function for the host_bridge.

If there are no outstanding references when we call device_unregister() then phb will be freed out from under us.

This has gone mainly unnoticed, but with slub_debug and page_poison enabled it can lead to a crash:

To avoid it, we can take a reference to the host_bridge->dev until we're done using phb. Then when we drop the reference the phb will be freed.
