CVE-2023-54087
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubi: Fix possible null-ptr-deref in ubi_free_volume()
It willl cause null-ptr-deref in the following case:
So in ubi_free_volume(), it delete devices whether they are added or not, it will causes null-ptr-deref.
Handle the error case whlie calling ubi_add_volume() to fix this problem. If add volume fails, set the corresponding vol to null, so it can not be accessed in kill_volumes() and release the resource in ubi_add_volume() error path.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
uif_init()
ubi_add_volume()
cdev_add() -> if it fails, call kill_volumes()
device_register()
kill_volumes() -> if ubi_add_volume() fails call this function
ubi_free_volume()
cdev_del()
device_unregister() -> trying to delete a not added device,
it causes null-ptr-derefCVSS
