Description

media: qcom: camss: fix error path on configuration of power domains

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: qcom: camss: fix error path on configuration of power domains

There is a chance to meet runtime issues during configuration of CAMSS

power domains, because on the error path dev_pm_domain_detach() is

unexpectedly called with NULL or error pointer.

One of the simplest ways to reproduce the problem is to probe CAMSS

driver before registration of CAMSS power domains, for instance if

a platform CAMCC driver is simply not built.

Warning backtrace example:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000001a2

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

  • Attack vector: Local — a local account, shell or session on the host is needed.
  • Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
  • Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
  • User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: None.
  • Integrity impact: None.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
