Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2024-39292 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 5.5 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
um: Add winch to winch_handlers before registering winch IRQ
Registering a winch IRQ is racy, an interrupt may occur before the winch is
added to the winch_handlers list.
If that happens, register_winch_irq() adds to that list a winch that is
scheduled to be (or has already been) freed, causing a panic later in
winch_cleanup().
Avoid the race by adding the winch to the winch_handlers list before
registering the IRQ, and rolling back if um_request_irq() fails.
