Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-07-19 16:17 - Updated: 2026-07-20 15:17
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_ffa: Snapshot notifier callbacks under lock
Both notification handlers currently look up a notifier callback under
notify_lock, drop the lock, and then dereference the returned
notifier entry. A concurrent unregister can delete and free that
entry in the gap, leaving the handler to dereference stale memory.
Copy the callback pointer and callback data while notify_lock is
still held and invoke the callback only after the lock is dropped.
This keeps the existing callback execution model while removing the
use-after-free window in both the framework and non-framework
notification paths.
