Descripción

*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> power: supply: axp288_fuel_gauge: Fix external_power_changed race<br /> <br /> fuel_gauge_external_power_changed() dereferences info-&gt;bat,<br /> which gets sets in axp288_fuel_gauge_probe() like this:<br /> <br /> info-&gt;bat = devm_power_supply_register(dev, &amp;fuel_gauge_desc, &amp;psy_cfg);<br /> <br /> As soon as devm_power_supply_register() has called device_add()<br /> the external_power_changed callback can get called. So there is a window<br /> where fuel_gauge_external_power_changed() may get called while<br /> info-&gt;bat has not been set yet leading to a NULL pointer dereference.<br /> <br /> Fixing this is easy. The external_power_changed callback gets passed<br /> the power_supply which will eventually get stored in info-&gt;bat,<br /> so fuel_gauge_external_power_changed() can simply directly use<br /> the passed in psy argument which is always valid.
