This means that during removal, there is a race\ncondition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`\nhandle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding\nunregistration of the IRQ handler has run.\n\nThis will lead to the IRQ handler calling `power_supply_changed()` with\na freed `power_supply` handle. Which usually crashes the system or\notherwise silently corrupts the memory...\n\nNote that there is a similar situation which can also happen during\n`probe()`; the possibility of an interrupt firing _before_ registering\nthe `power_supply` handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation\nof using the `power_supply` handle *uninitialized* in\n`power_supply_changed()`.\n\nFix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested _after_\nthe registration of the `power_supply` handle."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/power/supply/pm8916_lbc.c"], "versions": [{"version": "f8d7a3d21160a0cab4d15b81231f2a76b0fcee13", "lessThan": "dbe579e620ef0f53db490ec79a8566e4ea8918ac", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f8d7a3d21160a0cab4d15b81231f2a76b0fcee13", "lessThan": "08e674e9862a2db46fb234eb7c5442455ece0131", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f8d7a3d21160a0cab4d15b81231f2a76b0fcee13", "lessThan": "d7d31fc99d248d5f47588f50dce5c7599c991c6a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f8d7a3d21160a0cab4d15b81231f2a76b0fcee13", "lessThan": "b7508129978ae1e2ed9b0410396abc05def9c4eb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/power/supply/pm8916_lbc.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.7", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.7", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.75", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.14", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.19.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.0", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.75"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.14"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dbe579e620ef0f53db490ec79a8566e4ea8918ac"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/08e674e9862a2db46fb234eb7c5442455ece0131"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d7d31fc99d248d5f47588f50dce5c7599c991c6a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b7508129978ae1e2ed9b0410396abc05def9c4eb"}], "title": "power: supply: pm8916_lbc: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
