Overview

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: disable dma rx/tx use flags in lpuart_dma_shutdown lpuart_dma_shutdown tears down lpuart dma, but lpuart_flush_buffer can still occur which in turn tries to access dma apis if lpuart_dma_tx_use flag is true. At this point since dma is torn down, these dma apis can abort. Set lpuart_dma_tx_use and the corresponding rx flag lpuart_dma_rx_use to false in lpuart_dma_shutdown so that dmas are not accessed after they are relinquished. Otherwise, when try to kill btattach, kernel may panic. This patch may fix this issue. root@imx8ulpevk:~# btattach -B /dev/ttyLP2 -S 115200 ^C[ 90.182296] Internal error: synchronous external abort: 96000210 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 90.189806] Modules linked in: moal(O) mlan(O) [ 90.194258] CPU: 0 PID: 503 Comm: btattach Tainted: G O 5.15.32-06136-g34eecdf2f9e4 #37 [ 90.203554] Hardware name: NXP i.MX8ULP 9X9 EVK (DT) [ 90.208513] pstate: 600000c5 (nZCv daIF -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 90.215470] pc : fsl_edma3_disable_request+0x8/0x60 [ 90.220358] lr : fsl_edma3_terminate_all+0x34/0x20c [ 90.225237] sp : ffff800013f0bac0 [ 90.228548] x29: ffff800013f0bac0 x28: 0000000000000001 x27: ffff000008404800 [ 90.235681] x26: ffff000008404960 x25: ffff000008404a08 x24: ffff000008404a00 [ 90.242813] x23: ffff000008404a60 x22: 0000000000000002 x21: 0000000000000000 [ 90.249946] x20: ffff800013f0baf8 x19: ffff00000559c800 x18: 0000000000000000 [ 90.257078] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: 0000000000000000 [ 90.264211] x14: 0000000000000003 x13: 0000000000000000 x12: 0000000000000040 [ 90.271344] x11: ffff00000600c248 x10: ffff800013f0bb10 x9 : ffff000057bcb090 [ 90.278477] x8 : fffffc0000241a08 x7 : ffff00000534ee00 x6 : ffff000008404804 [ 90.285609] x5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : 0000000000000000 x3 : ffff0000055b3480 [ 90.292742] x2 : ffff8000135c0000 x1 : ffff00000534ee00 x0 : ffff00000559c800 [ 90.299876] Call trace: [ 90.302321] fsl_edma3_disable_request+0x8/0x60 [ 90.306851] lpuart_flush_buffer+0x40/0x160 [ 90.311037] uart_flush_buffer+0x88/0x120 [ 90.315050] tty_driver_flush_buffer+0x20/0x30 [ 90.319496] hci_uart_flush+0x44/0x90 [ 90.323162] +0x34/0x12c [ 90.327253] tty_ldisc_close+0x38/0x70 [ 90.331005] tty_ldisc_release+0xa8/0x190 [ 90.335018] tty_release_struct+0x24/0x8c [ 90.339022] tty_release+0x3ec/0x4c0 [ 90.342593] __fput+0x70/0x234 [ 90.345652] ____fput+0x14/0x20 [ 90.348790] task_work_run+0x84/0x17c [ 90.352455] do_exit+0x310/0x96c [ 90.355688] do_group_exit+0x3c/0xa0 [ 90.359259] __arm64_sys_exit_group+0x1c/0x20 [ 90.363609] invoke_syscall+0x48/0x114 [ 90.367362] el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0xd4/0xfc [ 90.372068] do_el0_svc+0x2c/0x94 [ 90.375379] el0_svc+0x28/0x80 [ 90.378438] el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa8/0x130 [ 90.382711] el0t_64_sync+0x1a0/0x1a4 [ 90.386376] Code: 17ffffda d503201f d503233f f9409802 (b9400041) [ 90.392467] ---[ end trace 2f60524b4a43f1f6 ]--- [ 90.397073] note: btattach[503] exited with preempt_count 1 [ 90.402636] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

  1. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: coresight: tmc-etr: Fix race condition between sysfs and perf mode When trying to run perf and sysfs mode simultaneously, the WARN_ON() in tmc_etr_enable_hw() is triggered sometimes: WARNING: CPU: 42 PID: 3911571 at drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:1060 tmc_etr_enable_hw+0xc0/0xd8 [coresight_tmc] [..snip..] Call trace: tmc_etr_enable_hw+0xc0/0xd8 [coresight_tmc] (P) tmc_enable_etr_sink+0x11c/0x250 [coresight_tmc] (L) tmc_enable_etr_sink+0x11c/0x250 [coresight_tmc] coresight_enable_path+0x1c8/0x218 [coresight] coresight_enable_sysfs+0xa4/0x228 [coresight] enable_source_store+0x58/0xa8 [coresight] dev_attr_store+0x20/0x40 sysfs_kf_write+0x4c/0x68 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x120/0x1b8 vfs_write+0x2c8/0x388 ksys_write+0x74/0x108 __arm64_sys_write+0x24/0x38 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x64/0x148 do_el0_svc+0x24/0x38 el0_svc+0x3c/0x130 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xc8/0xd0 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Since the enablement of sysfs mode is separeted into two critical regions, one for sysfs buffer allocation and another for hardware enablement, it's possible to race with the perf mode. Fix this by double check whether the perf mode's been used before enabling the hardware in sysfs mode. mode: [sysfs mode] [perf mode] tmc_etr_get_sysfs_buffer() spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) [sysfs buffer allocation] spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) tmc_etr_enable_hw() drvdata->etr_buf = etr_perf->etr_buf spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) tmc_etr_enable_hw() WARN_ON(drvdata->etr_buf) // WARN sicne etr_buf initialized at the perf side spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) With this fix, we retain the check for CS_MODE_PERF in get_etr_sysfs_buf. This ensures we verify whether the perf mode's already running before we actually allocate the buffer. Then we can save the time of allocating/freeing the sysfs buffer if race with the perf mode.CVE-2026-46272
