Specific and relevant AI feedback:\n\n\"\nThis reordering sets the driver data to NULL before removing the sensor\nattributes in the loop below.\n\nibmpex_show_sensor() retrieves this driver data via dev_get_drvdata() but\ndoes not check if it is NULL before dereferencing it to access\ndata->sensors[].\n\nIf a userspace process reads a sensor file (like temp1_input) while this\ndelete function is running, could it race with the dev_set_drvdata(...,\nNULL) call here and crash in ibmpex_show_sensor()?\n\nWould it be safer to keep the original order where device_remove_file() is\ncalled before clearing the driver data? device_remove_file() should wait\nfor any active sysfs callbacks to complete, which might already prevent the\nuse-after-free this patch intends to fix.\n\"\n\nRevert the offending patch. If it can be shown that the originally reported\nalleged race condition does indeed exist, it can always be re-introduced\nwith a complete fix." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/hwmon/ibmpex.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "3ce9b7ae9d4d148672b35147aaf7987a4f82bb94", "lessThan": "05112ba67c824ab416cd54307c0b50aba9f0047a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "533ead425f8109b02fecc7e72d612b8898ec347a", "lessThan": "efd68429f23fb4015b0ebc2392334059e06fad18", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fa37adcf1d564ef58b9dfb01b6c36d35c5294bad", "lessThan": "f448acd86835a650f9ea83460b9ca347d3aafba5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "68d62e5bebbd118b763e8bb210d5cf2198ef450c", "lessThan": "914b47c9b824d3d74f31c764163edf93302100b1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5aa2139201667c1f644601e4529c4acd6bf8db5a", "lessThan": "14a38784e09aebc21207dc32fffa05247fc3dd64", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "6946c726c3f4c36f0f049e6f97e88c510b15f65d", "lessThan": "894d9c7aab68fd0c70c78b1d03c8fa589fb0f67d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "6946c726c3f4c36f0f049e6f97e88c510b15f65d", "lessThan": "8bde3e395a85017f12af2b0ba5c3684f5af9c006", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5.10.248", "lessThan": "5.10.252", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.160", "lessThan": "6.1.165", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.120", "lessThan": "6.6.128", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.64", "lessThan": "6.12.75", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.3", "lessThan": "6.18.14", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/hwmon/ibmpex.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.19", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.19", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.252", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.165", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.128", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.75", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.14", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10.248", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.252" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1.160", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.165" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.120", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.128" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.64", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.75" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.18.3", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.14" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/05112ba67c824ab416cd54307c0b50aba9f0047a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/efd68429f23fb4015b0ebc2392334059e06fad18" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f448acd86835a650f9ea83460b9ca347d3aafba5" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/914b47c9b824d3d74f31c764163edf93302100b1" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/14a38784e09aebc21207dc32fffa05247fc3dd64" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/894d9c7aab68fd0c70c78b1d03c8fa589fb0f67d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8bde3e395a85017f12af2b0ba5c3684f5af9c006" } ], "title": "Revert \"hwmon: (ibmpex) fix use-after-free in high/low store\"", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
