CVE-2024-43098
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock A deadlock may happen since the i3c_master_register() acquires &i3cbus->lock twice. See the log below. Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_info() to avoid acquiring the lock twice. v2: - Modified the title and commit message ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 6.11.0-mainline -------------------------------------------- init/1 is trying to acquire lock: f1ffff80a6a40dc0 (&i3cbus->lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: i3c_bus_normaluse_lock but task is already holding lock: f1ffff80a6a40dc0 (&i3cbus->lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: i3c_master_register other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&i3cbus->lock); lock(&i3cbus->lock); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 2 locks held by init/1: #0: fcffff809b6798f8 (&dev->mutex){....}-{3:3}, at: __driver_attach #1: f1ffff80a6a40dc0 (&i3cbus->lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: i3c_master_register stack backtrace: CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Call trace: dump_backtrace+0xfc/0x17c show_stack+0x18/0x28 dump_stack_lvl+0x40/0xc0 dump_stack+0x18/0x24 print_deadlock_bug+0x388/0x390 __lock_acquire+0x18bc/0x32ec lock_acquire+0x134/0x2b0 down_read+0x50/0x19c i3c_bus_normaluse_lock+0x14/0x24 i3c_device_get_info+0x24/0x58 i3c_device_uevent+0x34/0xa4 dev_uevent+0x310/0x384 kobject_uevent_env+0x244/0x414 kobject_uevent+0x14/0x20 device_add+0x278/0x460 device_register+0x20/0x34 i3c_master_register_new_i3c_devs+0x78/0x154 i3c_master_register+0x6a0/0x6d4 mtk_i3c_master_probe+0x3b8/0x4d8 platform_probe+0xa0/0xe0 really_probe+0x114/0x454 __driver_probe_device+0xa0/0x15c driver_probe_device+0x3c/0x1ac __driver_attach+0xc4/0x1f0 bus_for_each_dev+0x104/0x160 driver_attach+0x24/0x34 bus_add_driver+0x14c/0x294 driver_register+0x68/0x104 __platform_driver_register+0x20/0x30 init_module+0x20/0xfe4 do_one_initcall+0x184/0x464 do_init_module+0x58/0x1ec load_module+0xefc/0x10c8 __arm64_sys_finit_module+0x238/0x33c invoke_syscall+0x58/0x10c el0_svc_common+0xa8/0xdc do_el0_svc+0x1c/0x28 el0_svc+0x50/0xac el0t_64_sync_handler+0x70/0xbc el0t_64_sync+0x1a8/0x1ac
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).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
CVSS v3 Score Breakdown

| Base Score | 5.5 | 5.5 | N/A |
| Attack Vector | Local | Local | N/A |
| Attack Complexity | Low | Low | N/A |
| Privileges Required | Low | Low | N/A |
| User Interaction | None | None | N/A |
| Scope | Unchanged | Unchanged | N/A |

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU); DoS: Resource Consumption (Other); DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
Each thread of execution will "hang" and prevent tasks from completing. In some cases, CPU consumption may occur if a lock check occurs in a tight loop.
