Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description A race condition exists between fastrpc device release() and the workqueue processing DSP responses. When a user closes a file descriptor, fastrpc device release() frees the fastrpc user structure. Simultaneously, an active DSP invocation may complete, leading fastrpc rpmsg callback() to schedule cleanup via schedule work(&ctx->put work). If fastrpc context free() executes while or after the fastrpc user structure is freed, it results in a use-after-free scenario. This can trigger failures in the following functions:
  • fastrpc buf free() when calling fastrpc ipa to dma addr() to process the IOVA (Input-Output Virtual Address).
  • fastrpc free map() when reading vmperms[0].vmid to reconstruct a permission bitmask for qcom scm assign mem().
  • fastrpc free map() when acquiring map->fl->lock to remove a map node.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
