Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinmux: Use sequential access to
access desc->pinmux data When two client of the same gpio call pinctrl_select_state() for the same
functionality, we are seeing NULL pointer issue while accessing desc->mux_owner. Let's say two processes
A, B executing in pin_request() for the same pin and process A updates the desc->mux_usecount but not yet
updated the desc->mux_owner while process B see the desc->mux_usecount which got updated by A path and
further executes strcmp and while accessing desc->mux_owner it crashes with NULL pointer. Serialize the
access to mux related setting with a mutex lock. cpu0 (process A) cpu1(process B) pinctrl_select_state() {
pinctrl_select_state() { pin_request() { pin_request() { ... .... } else { desc->mux_usecount++;
desc->mux_usecount && strcmp(desc->mux_owner, owner)) { if (desc->mux_usecount > 1) return 0;
desc->mux_owner = owner; } } (CVE-2024-47141)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.5-1 or later.
