powerpc/pseries: Fix use after free in remove_phb_dynamic()
Summary
powerpc/pseries: Fix use after free in remove_phb_dynamic()
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries: Fix use after free in remove_phb_dynamic()
In remove_phb_dynamic() we use &phb->io_resource, after we've called
device_unregister(&host_bridge->dev). But the unregister may have freed
phb, because pcibios_free_controller_deferred() is the release function
for the host_bridge.
If there are no outstanding references when we call device_unregister()
then phb will be freed out from under us.
This has gone mainly unnoticed, but with slub_debug and page_poison
enabled it can lead to a crash:
