Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: configfs-tsm-report: Fix NULL dereference of tsmops Unlike sysfs, the lifetime of configfs objects is controlled by userspace. There is no mechanism for the kernel to find and delete all created config-items. Instead, the configfs-tsm-report mechanism has an expectation that tsmunregister() can happen at any time and cause established config-item access to start failing. That expectation is not fully satisfied. While tsmreportread(), tsmreport{is,isbin}visible(), and tsmreportmakeitem() safely fail if tsmops have been unregistered, tsmreportprivlevelstore() tsmreportprovidershow() fail to check for ops registration. Add the missing checks for tsmops having been removed. Now, in supporting the ability for tsmunregister() to always succeed, it leaves the problem of what to do with lingering config-items. The expectation is that the admin that arranges for the ->remove() (unbind) of the ${tsmarch}-guest driver is also responsible for deletion of all open config-items. Until that deletion happens, ->probe() (reload / bind) of the ${tsmarch}-guest driver fails. This allows for emergency shutdown / revocation of attestation interfaces, and requires coordinated restart.
