CVE-2021-47195 | Date: (C)2024-04-12 (M)2024-04-26 |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: fix use-after-free of the add_lock mutex
Commit 6098475d4cb4 ("spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on
SPI buses") introduced a per-controller mutex. But mutex_unlock() of
said lock is called after the controller is already freed:
spi_unregister_controller(ctlr)
-> put_device(&ctlr->dev)
-> spi_controller_release(dev)
-> mutex_unlock(&ctrl->add_lock)
Move the put_device() after the mutex_unlock().
