Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
thunderbolt: Do not double dequeue a configuration request<br />
<br />
Some of our devices crash in tb_cfg_request_dequeue():<br />
<br />
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000122<br />
<br />
CPU: 6 PID: 91007 Comm: kworker/6:2 Tainted: G U W 6.6.65<br />
RIP: 0010:tb_cfg_request_dequeue+0x2d/0xa0<br />
Call Trace:<br />
<br />
? tb_cfg_request_dequeue+0x2d/0xa0<br />
tb_cfg_request_work+0x33/0x80<br />
worker_thread+0x386/0x8f0<br />
kthread+0xed/0x110<br />
ret_from_fork+0x38/0x50<br />
ret_from_fork_asm+0x1b/0x30<br />
<br />
The circumstances are unclear, however, the theory is that<br />
tb_cfg_request_work() can be scheduled twice for a request:<br />
first time via frame.callback from ring_work() and second<br />
time from tb_cfg_request(). Both times kworkers will execute<br />
tb_cfg_request_dequeue(), which results in double list_del()<br />
from the ctl->request_queue (the list poison deference hints<br />
at it: 0xdead000000000122).<br />
<br />
Do not dequeue requests that don&#39;t have TB_CFG_REQUEST_ACTIVE<br />
bit set.
