DEBIAN-CVE-2024-56621
No affected components available
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: ufs: core: Cancel RTC work during ufshcd_remove() Currently, RTC work is only cancelled during __ufshcd_wl_suspend(). When ufshcd is removed in ufshcd_remove(), RTC work is not cancelled. Due to this, any further trigger of the RTC work after ufshcd_remove() would result in a NULL pointer dereference as below: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000002a4 Workqueue: events ufshcd_rtc_work Call trace: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x34/0x8c pm_runtime_get_if_active+0x24/0xb4 ufshcd_rtc_work+0x124/0x19c process_scheduled_works+0x18c/0x2d8 worker_thread+0x144/0x280 kthread+0x11c/0x128 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Since RTC work accesses the ufshcd internal structures, it should be cancelled when ufshcd is removed. So do that in ufshcd_remove(), as per the order in ufshcd_init().
The vulnerability requires local access to the device to be exploited. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges.
