CVE-2021-47361

Disclosure Date: May 21, 2024
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

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

mcb: fix error handling in mcb_alloc_bus()

There are two bugs:

  1. If ida_simple_get() fails then this code calls put_device(carrier)
    but we haven’t yet called get_device(carrier) and probably that
    leads to a use after free.
  2. After device_initialize() then we need to use put_device() to
    release the bus. This will free the internal resources tied to the
    device and call mcb_free_bus() which will free the rest.
