An FLR concurrent\nwith a devlink flash can unmap cmd_regs under an in-flight devcmd,\ncausing a NULL deref or a write to unmapped MMIO.\n\nTake devcmd_lock across the BAR unmap/remap, and re-check cmd_regs in\nthe download loop. Only the PF maps cmd_regs and runs devcmd, so skip\nthe unmap on a VF, as pdsc_remove() and pdsc_reset_done() already do.\n\nA reset that completes entirely within the unlocked window is not a\ncorrectness problem for the image: the device clears its update session,\nso a resumed download is rejected, and it verifies the staged image\nbefore writing a flash slot, reporting PDS_RC_BAD_FW rather than\nactivating it.\n\npdsc_unmap_bars() also clears info_regs, intr_status and intr_ctrl. The\ninterrupt and start/stop readers of those are quiesced before the unmap\nby pdsc_fw_down(), which frees the interrupts and tears down the queues.\nThe debugfs readers are not, since those files outlive a reset; that is\npre-existing and out of scope here."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/ethernet/amd/pds_core/fw.c","drivers/net/ethernet/amd/pds_core/main.c"],"versions":[{"version":"f6ec6ac9432941ec85a2221c91b1ecfc85680d89","lessThan":"0bf9f3bae3c4b1eadb7a2bf63350333db7dac0d9","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"e96094c1d11cce4deb5da3c0500d49041ab845b8","lessThan":"2cc697565fd19b5ba2d100cdd4a20dd6d263abc2","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"e96094c1d11cce4deb5da3c0500d49041ab845b8","lessThan":"fa31bd14c5042c6315bb2182c963f03ca6e79ca4","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"e96094c1d11cce4deb5da3c0500d49041ab845b8","lessThan":"09f831bfe39de5b8026fefb3d106b5cc93272170","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"e96094c1d11cce4deb5da3c0500d49041ab845b8","lessThan":"7980325b2f71e3f65c1323c39792e2455da6fab6","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"692488941283d72362274620b9abd28109fc459f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6.6.16","lessThan":"6.6.158","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.7.4","lessThan":"6.8","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/ethernet/amd/pds_core/fw.c","drivers/net/ethernet/amd/pds_core/main.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.8","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.8","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.158","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.111","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.53","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.7","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc3","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":"6.6.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.158"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.8","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.111"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.8","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.53"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.8","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.7"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.8","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc3"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7.4"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0bf9f3bae3c4b1eadb7a2bf63350333db7dac0d9"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2cc697565fd19b5ba2d100cdd4a20dd6d263abc2"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fa31bd14c5042c6315bb2182c963f03ca6e79ca4"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/09f831bfe39de5b8026fefb3d106b5cc93272170"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7980325b2f71e3f65c1323c39792e2455da6fab6"}],"title":"pds_core: fix cmd_regs access racing BAR unmap on reset","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
