Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: reset: gpio: suppress bind attributes in sysfs This is a special device that’s created dynamically and is supposed to stay in memory forever. We also currently don’t have a devlink between it and the actual reset consumer. Suppress sysfs bind attributes so that user-space can’t unbind the device because - as of now - it will cause a use-after-free splat from any user that puts the reset control handle. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit a vulnerability in the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) reset controller by unbinding a dynamically created device through the sysfs (a virtual filesystem providing an interface to kernel data structures) interface. This improper handling of device unbinding can lead to a use-after-free condition, which may result in system instability or a denial of service.Details
