Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-07-03 09:02:58 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

coresight: holding cscfg_csdev_lock while removing cscfg from csdev

There'll be possible race scenario for coresight config:

CPU0                                          CPU1
(perf enable)                                 load module
                                              cscfg_load_config_sets()
                                              activate config. // sysfs
                                              (sys_active_cnt == 1)
...
cscfg_csdev_enable_active_config()
  lock(csdev->cscfg_csdev_lock)
                                              deactivate config // sysfs
                                              (sys_activec_cnt == 0)
                                              cscfg_unload_config_sets()
  <iterating config_csdev_list>               cscfg_remove_owned_csdev_configs()
  // here load config activate by CPU1
  unlock(csdev->cscfg_csdev_lock)

iterating config_csdev_list could be raced with config_csdev_list's
entry delete.

To resolve this race , hold csdev->cscfg_csdev_lock() while
cscfg_remove_owned_csdev_configs()
