Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: davinci: switch to managed controller allocation The controller is allocated with the non-managed spi_alloc_host() while the interrupt is registered with devm_request_threaded_irq(). During removal, spi_bitbang_stop() only unregisters the controller; the subsequent spi_controller_put() then frees the controller together with its embedded davinci_spi devdata, which is the IRQ handler's dev_id. The devm_request_threaded_irq() release action (free_irq()), which drains the handler, does not run until after .remove() returns. A late or latched interrupt can therefore reach davinci_spi_irq() and dereference already-freed memory. Switch to devm_spi_alloc_host() so that the devres LIFO order releases the controller only after free_irq() has drained the handler, and drop the now-redundant spi_controller_put() from .remove(). The probe error path is simplified to direct returns. The clock is acquired with devm_clk_get_enabled(), which is registered after the IRQ and thus released before it by the devres LIFO order. Drain the interrupt explicitly with devm_free_irq() before disabling the controller so that a late interrupt cannot access the registers of a clock-gated controller. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
