fkie_cve-2024-26807

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

Both cadence-quadspi ->runtime_suspend() and ->runtime_resume() implementations start with:

struct cqspi_st *cqspi = dev_get_drvdata(dev); struct spi_controller *host = dev_get_drvdata(dev);

This obviously cannot be correct, unless "struct cqspi_st" is the first member of " struct spi_controller", or the other way around, but it is not the case. "struct spi_controller" is allocated by devm_spi_alloc_host(), which allocates an extra amount of memory for private data, used to store "struct cqspi_st".

The ->probe() function of the cadence-quadspi driver then sets the device drvdata to store the address of the "struct cqspi_st" structure. Therefore:

struct cqspi_st *cqspi = dev_get_drvdata(dev);

is correct, but:

struct spi_controller *host = dev_get_drvdata(dev);

is not, as it makes "host" point not to a "struct spi_controller" but to the same "struct cqspi_st" structure as above.

This obviously leads to bad things (memory corruption, kernel crashes) directly during ->probe(), as ->probe() enables the device using PM runtime, leading the ->runtime_resume() hook being called, which in turns calls spi_controller_resume() with the wrong pointer.

This has at least been reported [0] to cause a kernel crash, but the exact behavior will depend on the memory contents.

GHSA-8xc6-54p8-3p65

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

spi: cadence-qspi: fix pointer reference in runtime PM hooks

dev_get_drvdata() gets used to acquire the pointer to cqspi and the SPI controller. Neither embed the other; this lead to memory corruption.

On a given platform (Mobileye EyeQ5) the memory corruption is hidden inside cqspi->f_pdata. Also, this uninitialised memory is used as a mutex (ctlr->bus_lock_mutex) by spi_controller_suspend().
