CVE-2026-31485 in Linux
Zusammenfassung
von MITRE • 22.04.2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: spi-fsl-lpspi: fix teardown order issue (UAF)
There is a teardown order issue in the driver. The SPI controller is registered using devm_spi_register_controller(), which delays unregistration of the SPI controller until after the fsl_lpspi_remove() function returns.
As the fsl_lpspi_remove() function synchronously tears down the DMA channels, a running SPI transfer triggers the following NULL pointer dereference due to use after free:
| fsl_lpspi 42550000.spi: I/O Error in DMA RX | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 [...]
| Call trace: | fsl_lpspi_dma_transfer+0x260/0x340 [spi_fsl_lpspi]
| fsl_lpspi_transfer_one+0x198/0x448 [spi_fsl_lpspi]
| spi_transfer_one_message+0x49c/0x7c8 | __spi_pump_transfer_message+0x120/0x420 | __spi_sync+0x2c4/0x520 | spi_sync+0x34/0x60 | spidev_message+0x20c/0x378 [spidev]
| spidev_ioctl+0x398/0x750 [spidev]
[...]
Switch from devm_spi_register_controller() to spi_register_controller() in fsl_lpspi_probe() and add the corresponding spi_unregister_controller() in fsl_lpspi_remove().
