Normal buffer updates take\ninfo_exist_lock followed by mlock in iio_update_buffers().\n\nHowever, iio_device_unregister() disables and deactivates all buffers\nwithout taking mlock. This can invalidate buffer state, including\nactive_scan_mask, while a buffer-mode claim is held.\n\nTake mlock in iio_disable_all_buffers() so that unregister honors the\nmode-claim lifetime guarantee. The info_exist_lock -> mlock ordering\nmatches iio_update_buffers()."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/iio/industrialio-buffer.c"],"versions":[{"version":"0a8565425afd8ba0e1a0ea73e21da119ee6dacea","lessThan":"6a728408ff522b749c2a3c7e68f44e861fa0dbfb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0a8565425afd8ba0e1a0ea73e21da119ee6dacea","lessThan":"89f3852a28fcf7bab599280cb082baa0675536db","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0a8565425afd8ba0e1a0ea73e21da119ee6dacea","lessThan":"b466db9e68b4741af85f6c017e2bb0a2f025053f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0a8565425afd8ba0e1a0ea73e21da119ee6dacea","lessThan":"e63188d77e10c0951bf67da6c295f768fd1abf4b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0a8565425afd8ba0e1a0ea73e21da119ee6dacea","lessThan":"84bb0fc46ccf6a545b8fdf57cda83770186ed8dd","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a9c471892d75847671a246619c2148578f22bbc6","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7bca0af538a49dacb1470f233be0676bdc09605b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5.15.137","lessThan":"5.16","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.60","lessThan":"6.2","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/iio/industrialio-buffer.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.2","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.160","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.113","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.56","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.10","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","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":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.160"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.113"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.56"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.10"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.3"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15.137"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.1.60"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a728408ff522b749c2a3c7e68f44e861fa0dbfb"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/89f3852a28fcf7bab599280cb082baa0675536db"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b466db9e68b4741af85f6c017e2bb0a2f025053f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e63188d77e10c0951bf67da6c295f768fd1abf4b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/84bb0fc46ccf6a545b8fdf57cda83770186ed8dd"}],"title":"iio: buffer: serialize buffer teardown with mode claims","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
