Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: fix race on RX DMA shutdown<br /> <br /> From time to time DMA completion can come in the middle of DMA shutdown:<br /> <br /> : :<br /> lpuart32_shutdown()<br /> lpuart_dma_shutdown()<br /> del_timer_sync()<br /> lpuart_dma_rx_complete()<br /> lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty()<br /> mod_timer()<br /> lpuart_dma_rx_free()<br /> <br /> When the timer fires a bit later, sport-&gt;dma_rx_desc is NULL:<br /> <br /> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000004<br /> pc : lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty+0xcc/0x5bc<br /> lr : lpuart_timer_func+0x1c/0x2c<br /> Call trace:<br /> lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty<br /> lpuart_timer_func<br /> call_timer_fn<br /> __run_timers.part.0<br /> run_timer_softirq<br /> __do_softirq<br /> __irq_exit_rcu<br /> irq_exit<br /> handle_domain_irq<br /> gic_handle_irq<br /> call_on_irq_stack<br /> do_interrupt_handler<br /> ...<br /> <br /> To fix this fold del_timer_sync() into lpuart_dma_rx_free() after<br /> dmaengine_terminate_sync() to make sure timer will not be re-started in<br /> lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty()
