net: stmmac: Fix accessing freed irq affinity_hint
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: Fix accessing freed irq affinity_hint
In stmmac_request_irq_multi_msi(), a pointer to the stack variable
cpu_mask is passed to irq_set_affinity_hint(). This value is stored in
irq_desc->affinity_hint, but once stmmac_request_irq_multi_msi()
returns, the pointer becomes dangling.
The affinity_hint is exposed via procfs with S_IRUGO permissions,
allowing any unprivileged process to read it. Accessing this stale
pointer can lead to:
- a kernel oops or panic if the referenced memory has been released and
unmapped, or
- leakage of kernel data into userspace if the memory is re-used for
other purposes.
All platforms that use stmmac with PCI MSI (Intel, Loongson, etc) are
affected.
