Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
media: rainshadow-cec: fix TOCTOU race condition in rain_interrupt()<br />
<br />
In the interrupt handler rain_interrupt(), the buffer full check on<br />
rain->buf_len is performed before acquiring rain->buf_lock. This<br />
creates a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition, as<br />
rain->buf_len is concurrently accessed and modified in the work<br />
handler rain_irq_work_handler() under the same lock.<br />
<br />
Multiple interrupt invocations can race, with each reading buf_len<br />
before it becomes full and then proceeding. This can lead to both<br />
interrupts attempting to write to the buffer, incrementing buf_len<br />
beyond its capacity (DATA_SIZE) and causing a buffer overflow.<br />
<br />
Fix this bug by moving the spin_lock() to before the buffer full<br />
check. This ensures that the check and the subsequent buffer modification<br />
are performed atomically, preventing the race condition. An corresponding<br />
spin_unlock() is added to the overflow path to correctly release the<br />
lock.<br />
<br />
This possible bug was found by an experimental static analysis tool<br />
developed by our team.
