Both keep touching stream, port\nand device state; the recovery worker also resets the parser and VPDMA,\nrepopulates the descriptor list, and re-enables the per-list IRQs.\n\nvip_stop_streaming() masks and clears the per-list IRQs, but it neither\nsynchronizes the hardirq handler nor disables recovery_work. An overflow\nIRQ that has already queued recovery_work, or a list-complete IRQ in\nflight when the stream is torn down, can therefore still dereference the\nstream after its resources are released: the descriptor list is freed by\nvip_release_stream() on file release, and the stream itself by\nfree_stream() on unbind/remove.\n\nDrain the recovery worker and the IRQ handler at both teardown points\nthrough a shared vip_quiesce_stream() helper, before any stream-owned\nresource is released. disable_work_sync() cancels pending recovery_work,\ndrains a running instance, and raises its disable depth, so a subsequent\nschedule_work() issued by a racing IRQ handler is rejected at the\nworkqueue scheduler: recovery_work cannot be requeued after\ndisable_work_sync() takes effect. The worker may still re-enable the\nper-list IRQs before disable_work_sync() returns; disable_irqs() then\nmasks those sources and synchronize_irq() waits for any in-flight handler\nthat still dereferences stream state. In vip_stop_streaming() the helper\nruns before the parser is stopped, since a worker drained by\ndisable_work_sync() may re-enable the parser before exiting and would\notherwise undo the stop. recovery_work is created disabled and enabled in\nvip_start_streaming() before IRQs, pairing the enable with the teardown\ndisable across the streaming lifecycle.\n\nThis issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool and confirmed\nby manual code review." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only through the TI VIP V4L2 capture node: a local process open()s /dev/videoX, STREAMONs to arm parser/list-complete IRQs and overflow recovery, then STREAMOFF or close() tears the stream down. It is not reachable from network packets or a remote peer.\nAC:L - The attacker starts streaming (which generates list-complete IRQs and can queue recovery_work) and then STREAMOFF/close, racing the hardirq and an already-queued worker that the old teardown never drained. Both sides of the race are attacker-induced and retryable, so this UAF is Low complexity.\nPR:L - Exploitation needs only an unprivileged local user who can open the VIP /dev/videoX node and issue V4L2 streaming ioctls. On DRA7/AM57 embedded, industrial, and automotive systems that is typically the video group or a camera app, not root or init-namespace capabilities.\nUI:N - The attacker performs open, STREAMON, and STREAMOFF/close themselves. No separate victim action such as mounting a filesystem or plugging in a device is required.\nS:U - The UAF corrupts host-kernel stream and VPDMA descriptor state used by the same kernel that serves the ioctl. That is standard kernel memory corruption/privilege escalation, not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free of the VPDMA descriptor list (freed on last file release) and of the stream object (freed on unbind/remove). The IRQ and recovery worker then read those objects, which per CVSS kernel UAF guidance enables kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - vip_overflow_recovery_work and the list-complete path write the freed descriptor buffer, rebuild DTDs, and resubmit VPDMA lists, giving a kernel write/DMA primitive suitable for control-flow hijack. UAF memory corruption is scored High integrity.\nA:H - The same UAF and unlocked post_bufs/vidq walks from hardirq vs teardown oops or panic the kernel even when not fully exploited, so availability impact is High." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/media/platform/ti/vpe/vip.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "fc2873aa4a21355593b55eb49ff534d31f81c584", "lessThan": "fd5b4a14c87b21e1c9eaee603b01bb7fa7db45c8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fc2873aa4a21355593b55eb49ff534d31f81c584", "lessThan": "aeaacc3001449d44b4ab7da56331121d1f3b137b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/media/platform/ti/vpe/vip.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "7.0", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "7.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "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": "7.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fd5b4a14c87b21e1c9eaee603b01bb7fa7db45c8" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aeaacc3001449d44b4ab7da56331121d1f3b137b" } ], "title": "media: ti: vpe: quiesce overflow recovery before freeing streams", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
