Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: idxd: Remove improper idxdfree The call to idxdfree() introduces a duplicate putdevice() leading to a reference count underflow: refcountt: underflow; use-after-free. WARNING: CPU: 15 PID: 4428 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcountwarnsaturate+0xbe/0x110 ... Call Trace: <TASK> idxdremove+0xe4/0x120 [idxd] pcideviceremove+0x3f/0xb0 devicereleasedriverinternal+0x197/0x200 driverdetach+0x48/0x90 busremovedriver+0x74/0xf0 pciunregisterdriver+0x2e/0xb0 idxdexitmodule+0x34/0x7a0 [idxd] _dosysdeletemodule.constprop.0+0x183/0x280 dosyscall64+0x54/0xd70 entrySYSCALL64afterhwframe+0x76/0x7e The idxdunregisterdevices() which is invoked at the very beginning of idxdremove(), already takes care of the necessary putdevice() through the following call path: idxdunregisterdevices() -> deviceunregister() -> putdevice() In addition, when CONFIGDEBUGKOBJECTRELEASE is enabled, putdevice() may trigger asynchronous cleanup via scheduledelayedwork(). If idxdfree() is called immediately after, it can result in a use-after-free. Remove the improper idxd_free() to avoid both the refcount underflow and potential memory corruption during module unload.
