GHSA-CGHH-45GX-84F7

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-02-28 09:30 – Updated: 2024-12-31 18:30
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: core: fix ioctl handlers removal

Currently ioctl handlers are removed twice. For the first time during iio_device_unregister() then later on inside iio_device_unregister_eventset() and iio_buffers_free_sysfs_and_mask(). Double free leads to kernel panic.

Fix this by not touching ioctl handlers list directly but rather letting code responsible for registration call the matching cleanup routine itself.

In setPlayPolicy of DrmPlugin.cpp, there is a possible double free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege in a privileged process with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-11 Android-8.1 Android-9 Android-10Android ID: A-176168330

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Choose a language that provides automatic memory management.

Mitigation
Implementation

Ensure that each allocation is freed only once. After freeing a chunk, set the pointer to NULL to ensure the pointer cannot be freed again. In complicated error conditions, be sure that clean-up routines respect the state of allocation properly. If the language is object oriented, ensure that object destructors delete each chunk of memory only once.

Mitigation
Implementation

Use a static analysis tool to find double free instances.
