In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: Move unregister out of atomic section
Commit ‘9329933699b3 (“soc: qcom: pmic_glink: Make client-lock
non-sleeping”)’ moved the pmic_glink client list under a spinlock, as it
is accessed by the rpmsg/glink callback, which in turn is invoked from
IRQ context.
This means that ucsi_unregister() is now called from atomic context,
which isn’t feasible as it’s expecting a sleepable context. An effort is
under way to get GLINK to invoke its callbacks in a sleepable context,
but until then lets schedule the unregistration.
A side effect of this is that ucsi_unregister() can now happen
after the remote processor, and thereby the communication link with it, is
gone. pmic_glink_send() is amended with a check to avoid the resulting NULL
pointer dereference.
This does however result in the user being informed about this error by
the following entry in the kernel log:
ucsi_glink.pmic_glink_ucsi pmic_glink.ucsi.0: failed to send UCSI write request: -5
