In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubi: Fix UAF wear-leveling entry in eraseblk_count_seq_show()
Wear-leveling entry could be freed in error path, which may be accessed
again in eraseblk_count_seq_show(), for example:
__erase_worker eraseblk_count_seq_show
wl = ubi->lookuptbl[*block_number]
if (wl)
wl_entry_destroy
ubi->lookuptbl[e->pnum] = NULL
kmem_cache_free(ubi_wl_entry_slab, e)
erase_count = wl->ec // UAF!
Wear-leveling entry updating/accessing in ubi->lookuptbl should be
protected by ubi->wl_lock, fix it by adding ubi->wl_lock to serialize
wl entry accessing between wl_entry_destroy() and
eraseblk_count_seq_show().
