Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
genirq/irqdesc: Prevent use-after-free in irq_find_at_or_after()
irq_find_at_or_after() dereferences the interrupt descriptor which is
returned by mt_find() while neither holding sparse_irq_lock nor RCU read
lock, which means the descriptor can be freed between mt_find() and the
dereference:
CPU0 CPU1
desc = mt_find()
delayed_free_desc(desc)
irq_desc_get_irq(desc)
The use-after-free is reported by KASAN:
Call trace:
