In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubi: Fix UAF wear-leveling entry in eraseblk_count_seq_show()
Wear-leveling entry could be freed in error path, which may be accessed again in eraseblk_count_seq_show(), for example:
__erase_worker eraseblk_count_seq_show wl = ubi->lookuptbl[*block_number]
if (wl) wl_entry_destroy ubi->lookuptbl[e->pnum] = NULL
kmem_cache_free(ubi_wl_entry_slab, e) erase_count = wl->ec // UAF!
Wear-leveling entry updating/accessing in ubi->lookuptbl should be protected by ubi->wl_lock, fix it by adding ubi->wl_lock to serialize wl entry accessing between wl_entry_destroy() and eraseblk_count_seq_show().
