CVE-2023-52503 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tee: amdtee: fix use-after-free vulnerability in amdtee_close_session
There is a potential race condition in amdtee_close_session that may
cause use-after-free in amdtee_open_session. For instance, if a session
has refcount == 1, and one thread tries to free this session via:
kref_put(&sess->refcount, destroy_session);
the reference count will get decremented, and the next step would be to
call destroy_session(). However, if in another thread,
amdtee_open_session() is called before destroy_session() has completed
execution, alloc_session() may return \'sess\' that will be freed up
later in destroy_session() leading to use-after-free in
amdtee_open_session.
To fix this issue, treat decrement of sess->refcount and removal of
\'sess\' from session list in destroy_session() as a critical section, so
that it is executed atomically.
