CVE-2023-52509

Disclosure Date: March 02, 2024
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ravb: Fix use-after-free issue in ravb_tx_timeout_work()

The ravb_stop() should call cancel_work_sync(). Otherwise,
ravb_tx_timeout_work() is possible to use the freed priv after
ravb_remove() was called like below:

CPU0 CPU1

		ravb_tx_timeout()

ravb_remove()
unregister_netdev()
free_netdev(ndev)
// free priv

		ravb_tx_timeout_work()
		// use priv

unregister_netdev() will call .ndo_stop() so that ravb_stop() is
called. And, after phy_stop() is called, netif_carrier_off()
is also called. So that .ndo_tx_timeout() will not be called
after phy_stop().
