📛 CVE Title

Revert "hwmon: (ibmpex) fix use-after-free in high/low store"

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "hwmon: (ibmpex) fix use-after-free in high/low store" This reverts commit 6946c726c3f4c36f0f049e6f97e88c510b15f65d. Jean Delvare points out that the patch does not completely fix the reported problem, that it in fact introduces a (new) race condition, and that it may actually not be needed in the first place. Various AI reviews agree. Specific and relevant AI feedback: " This reordering sets the driver data to NULL before removing the sensor attributes in the loop below. ibmpex_show_sensor() retrieves this driver data via dev_get_drvdata() but does not check if it is NULL before dereferencing it to access data->sensors[]. If a userspace process reads a sensor file (like temp1_input) while this delete function is running, could it race with the dev_set_drvdata(..., NULL) call here and crash in ibmpex_show_sensor()? Would it be safer to keep the original order where device_remove_file() is called before clearing the driver data? device_remove_file() should wait for any active sysfs callbacks to complete, which might already prevent the use-after-free this patch intends to fix. " Revert the offending patch. If it can be shown that the originally reported alleged race condition does indeed exist, it can always be re-introduced with a complete fix.

Specific and relevant AI feedback:\n\n\"\nThis reordering sets the driver data to NULL before removing the sensor\nattributes in the loop below.\n\nibmpex_show_sensor() retrieves this driver data via dev_get_drvdata() but\ndoes not check if it is NULL before dereferencing it to access\ndata->sensors[].\n\nIf a userspace process reads a sensor file (like temp1_input) while this\ndelete function is running, could it race with the dev_set_drvdata(...,\nNULL) call here and crash in ibmpex_show_sensor()?\n\nWould it be safer to keep the original order where device_remove_file() is\ncalled before clearing the driver data? device_remove_file() should wait\nfor any active sysfs callbacks to complete, which might already prevent the\nuse-after-free this patch intends to fix.\n\"\n\nRevert the offending patch. If it can be shown that the originally reported\nalleged race condition does indeed exist, it can always be re-introduced\nwith a complete fix."
