Message-ID: <2024022555-CVE-2021-46904-d49f@gregkh> Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2024 15:03:54 +0100 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-cve-announce@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Subject: CVE-2021-46904: net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty device unregistration Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty device unregistration Multiple ttys try to claim the same the minor number causing a double unregistration of the same device. The first unregistration succeeds but the next one results in a null-ptr-deref. The get_free_serial_index() function returns an available minor number but doesn't assign it immediately. The assignment is done by the caller later. But before this assignment, calls to get_free_serial_index() would return the same minor number. Fix this by modifying get_free_serial_index to assign the minor number immediately after one is found to be and rename it to obtain_minor() to better reflect what it does. Similary, rename set_serial_by_index() to release_minor() and modify it to free up the minor number of the given hso_serial. Every obtain_minor() should have corresponding release_minor() call. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-46904 to this issue.

Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to older supported kernel versions. The official CVE entry at https://cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2021-46904 will be updated if fixes are backported, please check that for the most up to date information about this issue. Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/net/usb/hso.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a462067d7c8e6953a733bf5ade8db947b1bb5449 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/145c89c441d27696961752bf51b323f347601bee https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/caf5ac93b3b5d5fac032fc11fbea680e115421b4 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/92028d7a31e55d53e41cff679156b9432cffcb36 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4a2933c88399c0ebc738db39bbce3ae89786d723 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dc195928d7e4ec7b5cfc6cd10dc4c8d87a7c72ac https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/388d05f70f1ee0cac4a2068fd295072f1a44152a https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a12f8836145ffe37e9c8733dce18c22fb668b66
