Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: ti: vpe: quiesce overflow recovery before freeing streams
The VIP overflow recovery worker is armed from the hardirq handler when a
FIFO overflow is detected, and the list-complete path looks the stream up
through the VPDMA list private pointer. Both keep touching stream, port
and device state; the recovery worker also resets the parser and VPDMA,
repopulates the descriptor list, and re-enables the per-list IRQs.
vip_stop_streaming() masks and clears the per-list IRQs, but it neither
synchronizes the hardirq handler nor disables recovery_work. An overflow
IRQ that has already queued recovery_work, or a list-complete IRQ in
flight when the stream is torn down, can therefore still dereference the
stream after its resources are released: the descriptor list is freed by
vip_release_stream() on file release, and the stream itself by
free_stream() on unbind/remove.
Drain the recovery worker and the IRQ handler at both teardown points
through a shared vip_quiesce_stream() helper, before any stream-owned
resource is released. disable_work_sync() cancels pending recovery_work,
drains a running instance, and raises its disable depth, so a subsequent
schedule_work() issued by a racing IRQ handler is rejected at the
workqueue scheduler: recovery_work cannot be requeued after
disable_work_sync() takes effect. The worker may still re-enable the
per-list IRQs before disable_work_sync() returns; disable_irqs() then
masks those sources and synchronize_irq() waits for any in-flight handler
that still dereferences stream state. In vip_stop_streaming() the helper
runs before the parser is stopped, since a worker drained by
disable_work_sync() may re-enable the parser before exiting and would
otherwise undo the stop. recovery_work is created disabled and enabled in
vip_start_streaming() before IRQs, pairing the enable with the teardown
disable across the streaming lifecycle.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool and confirmed
by manual code review.
