Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2022-50145 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 5.5 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: sf-pdma: Add multithread support for a DMA channel
When we get a DMA channel and try to use it in multiple threads it
will cause oops and hanging the system.
% echo 64 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/threads_per_chan
% echo 10000 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/iterations
% echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run
[ 89.480664] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
address 00000000000000a0
[ 89.488725] Oops [#1]
[ 89.494708] CPU: 2 PID: 1008 Comm: dma0chan0-copy0 Not tainted
5.17.0-rc5

This happens because of data race. Each thread rewrite channels's
descriptor as soon as device_prep_dma_memcpy() is called. It leads to the
situation when the driver thinks that it uses right descriptor that
actually is freed or substituted for other one.
With current fixes a descriptor changes its value only when it has
been used. A new descriptor is acquired from vc->desc_issued queue that
is already filled with descriptors that are ready to be sent. Threads
have no direct access to DMA channel descriptor. Now it is just possible
to queue a descriptor for further processing.
