In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: leds:
trigger: netdev: Fix kernel panic on interface rename trig notify Commit
d5e01266e7f5 (“leds: trigger: netdev: add additional specific link speed
mode”) in the various changes, reworked the way to set the LINKUP mode in
commit cee4bd16c319 (“leds: trigger: netdev: Recheck NETDEV_LED_MODE_LINKUP
on dev rename”) and moved it to a generic function. This changed the logic
where, in the previous implementation the dev from the trigger event was
used to check if the carrier was ok, but in the new implementation with the
generic function, the dev in trigger_data is used instead. This is
problematic and cause a possible kernel panic due to the fact that the dev
in the trigger_data still reference the old one as the new one (passed from
the trigger event) still has to be hold and saved in the trigger_data
struct (done in the NETDEV_REGISTER case). On calling of
get_device_state(), an invalid net_dev is used and this cause a kernel
panic. To handle this correctly, move the call to get_device_state() after
the new net_dev is correctly set in trigger_data (in the NETDEV_REGISTER
case) and correctly parse the new dev.
