Before\nthe lock is taken, psp_dev_unregister() can run to completion:\ntake psd->lock, clear out state, unlock, drop the registration\nreference.\n\nThe expectation is that the lock prevents device unregistration,\nbut much like with netdevs special care has to be taken when\n\"upgrading\" a reference to a locked device. Add the missing\ncheck if device is still alive. psp_dev_is_registered() exists\nalready but had no callers, which makes me wonder if I either\nforgot to add this or lost the check during refactoring..."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/psp/psp_nl.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6b46ca260e2290e3453d1355ab5b6d283d73d780","lessThan":"d90df5ce6deb2424de3ad89bcc693ac1b67accc9","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6b46ca260e2290e3453d1355ab5b6d283d73d780","lessThan":"e201c57073e624dd2ba5beaf9eda31e19b77b332","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6b46ca260e2290e3453d1355ab5b6d283d73d780","lessThan":"b89769f936a8fa9e66de72ddc1b71a9745a488e6","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/psp/psp_nl.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.18","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.18","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.33","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.10","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1","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":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.33"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.10"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"7.1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d90df5ce6deb2424de3ad89bcc693ac1b67accc9"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e201c57073e624dd2ba5beaf9eda31e19b77b332"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b89769f936a8fa9e66de72ddc1b71a9745a488e6"}],"title":"net: psp: check for device unregister when creating assoc","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
