This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply a kernel update that includes the driver_match_device_locked() fix from the maintainer commit
  • For systems that cannot update immediately, prevent loading of bus drivers that rely on driver_override until the lock enforcement is in place
  • Enable kernel lock debugging features such as CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING or CONFIG_LOCKDEP to detect any race conditions during kernel operation
  • Maintain a timely patch management process to apply the latest kernel releases and avoid known vulnerabilities

Type Values Removed Values Added
Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: driver core: enforce device_lock for driver_match_device() Currently, driver_match_device() is called from three sites. One site (__device_attach_driver) holds device_lock(dev), but the other two (bind_store and __driver_attach) do not. This inconsistency means that bus match() callbacks are not guaranteed to be called with the lock held. Fix this by introducing driver_match_device_locked(), which guarantees holding the device lock using a scoped guard. Replace the unlocked calls in bind_store() and __driver_attach() with this new helper. Also add a lock assertion to driver_match_device() to enforce this guarantee. This consistency also fixes a known race condition. The driver_override implementation relies on the device_lock, so the missing lock led to the use-after-free (UAF) reported in Bugzilla for buses using this field. Stress testing the two newly locked paths for 24 hours with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and CONFIG_LOCKDEP enabled showed no UAF recurrence and no lockdep warnings. This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.
