This means that during removal, there is a race\ncondition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`\nhandle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding\nunregistration of the IRQ handler has run.\n\nThis will lead to the IRQ handler calling `power_supply_changed()` with\na freed `power_supply` handle. Which usually crashes the system or\notherwise silently corrupts the memory...\n\nNote that there is a similar situation which can also happen during\n`probe()`; the possibility of an interrupt firing _before_ registering\nthe `power_supply` handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation\nof using the `power_supply` handle *uninitialized* in\n`power_supply_changed()`.\n\nFix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested _after_\nthe registration of the `power_supply` handle."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/power/supply/pm8916_lbc.c"],"versions":[{"version":"f8d7a3d21160a0cab4d15b81231f2a76b0fcee13","lessThan":"dbe579e620ef0f53db490ec79a8566e4ea8918ac","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f8d7a3d21160a0cab4d15b81231f2a76b0fcee13","lessThan":"08e674e9862a2db46fb234eb7c5442455ece0131","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f8d7a3d21160a0cab4d15b81231f2a76b0fcee13","lessThan":"d7d31fc99d248d5f47588f50dce5c7599c991c6a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f8d7a3d21160a0cab4d15b81231f2a76b0fcee13","lessThan":"b7508129978ae1e2ed9b0410396abc05def9c4eb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/power/supply/pm8916_lbc.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.7","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.7","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.75","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.14","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.19.4","lessThanOrEqual":"6.19.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.75"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.14"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.19.4"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.0"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dbe579e620ef0f53db490ec79a8566e4ea8918ac"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/08e674e9862a2db46fb234eb7c5442455ece0131"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d7d31fc99d248d5f47588f50dce5c7599c991c6a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b7508129978ae1e2ed9b0410396abc05def9c4eb"}],"title":"power: supply: pm8916_lbc: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
