Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: lpspi: Avoid potential use-after- free in probe() fsl_lpspi_probe() is allocating/disposing memory manually with spi_alloc_host()/spi_alloc_target(), but uses devm_spi_register_controller(). In case of error after the latter call the memory will be explicitly freed in the probe function by spi_controller_put() call, but used afterwards by devm management outside probe() (spi_unregister_controller() <- devm_spi_unregister() below). Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000070 ... Call trace: kernfs_find_ns kernfs_find_and_get_ns sysfs_remove_group sysfs_remove_groups device_remove_attrs device_del spi_unregister_controller devm_spi_unregister release_nodes devres_release_all really_probe driver_probe_device __device_attach_driver bus_for_each_drv __device_attach device_initial_probe bus_probe_device deferred_probe_work_func process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork (CVE-2024-26866)
