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

misc: fastrpc: fix use-after-free of fastrpc_user in workqueue context

There is a race between fastrpc_device_release() and the workqueue that processes DSP responses. When the user closes the file descriptor, fastrpc_device_release() frees the fastrpc_user structure. Concurrently, an in-flight DSP invocation can complete and fastrpc_rpmsg_callback() schedules context cleanup via schedule_work(&ctx->put_work). If the workqueue runs fastrpc_context_free() in parallel with or after fastrpc_device_release() has freed the user structure, it dereferences the freed fastrpc_user. Depending on the state of the context at the time of the race, any one of the following accesses can be hit:

1. fastrpc_buf_free() calls fastrpc_ipa_to_dma_addr(buf->fl->cctx, ...) to strip the SID bits from the stored IOVA before passing the physical address to dma_free_coherent().

2. fastrpc_free_map() reads map->fl->cctx->vmperms[0].vmid to reconstruct the source permission bitmask needed for the qcom_scm_assign_mem() call that returns memory from the DSP VM back to HLOS.

3. fastrpc_free_map() acquires map->fl->lock to safely remove the map node from the fl->maps list.

The resulting use-after-free manifests as:

pc : fastrpc_buf_free+0x38/0x80 [fastrpc] lr : fastrpc_context_free+0xa8/0x1b0 [fastrpc] fastrpc_context_free+0xa8/0x1b0 [fastrpc] fastrpc_context_put_wq+0x78/0xa0 [fastrpc] process_one…

Ein entfernter Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen im Linux Kernel ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen und weitere, nicht näher spezifizierte Auswirkungen zu erzielen.
