CVE-2023-54079
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: bq27xxx: Fix poll_interval handling and races on remove
Before this patch bq27xxx_battery_teardown() was setting poll_interval = 0 to avoid bq27xxx_battery_update() requeuing the delayed_work item.
There are 2 problems with this:
Fix this by added a removed attribute to struct bq27xxx_device_info and using that instead of setting poll_interval to 0.
There also is another poll_interval related race on remove(), writing /sys/module/bq27xxx_battery/parameters/poll_interval will requeue the delayed_work item for all devices on the bq27xxx_battery_devices list and the device being removed was only removed from that list after cancelling the delayed_work item.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
Fix this by moving the removal from the bq27xxx_battery_devices list to before cancelling the delayed_work item.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
1. If the driver is unbound through sysfs, rather then the module being rmmod-ed, this changes poll_interval unexpectedly 2. This is racy, after it being set poll_interval could be changed before bq27xxx_battery_update() checks it through /sys/module/bq27xxx_battery/parameters/poll_interval
