CVE-2022-50426
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: remoteproc: imx_dsp_rproc: Add mutex protection for workqueue The workqueue may execute late even after remoteproc is stopped or stopping, some resources (rpmsg device and endpoint) have been released in rproc_stop_subdevices(), then rproc_vq_interrupt() accessing these resources will cause kennel dump. Call trace: virtqueue_add_split+0x1ac/0x560 virtqueue_add_inbuf+0x4c/0x60 rpmsg_recv_done+0x15c/0x294 vring_interrupt+0x6c/0xa4 rproc_vq_interrupt+0x30/0x50 imx_dsp_rproc_vq_work+0x24/0x40 [imx_dsp_rproc] process_one_work+0x1d0/0x354 worker_thread+0x13c/0x470 kthread+0x154/0x160 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Add mutex protection in imx_dsp_rproc_vq_work(), if the state is not running, then just skip calling rproc_vq_interrupt(). Also the flush workqueue operation can't be added in rproc stop for the same reason. The call sequence is rproc_shutdown -> rproc_stop ->rproc_stop_subdevices ->rproc->ops->stop() ->imx_dsp_rproc_stop ->flush_work -> rproc_vq_interrupt The resource needed by rproc_vq_interrupt has been released in rproc_stop_subdevices, so flush_work is not safe to be called in imx_dsp_rproc_stop.
Statement
This vulnerability requires elevated privileges to trigger (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) as it relies on the user being able to stop/restart the DSP or send messages that trigger the virtqueue handler via remoteproc.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
