Those GFP_KERNEL/sysfs failures are not attacker-controlled, and of_node_put() is a no-op unless CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC is enabled.\nPR:N - rcar_gen2_phy_probe() has no capable() check; with PHY_RCAR_GEN2=y (shmobile_defconfig) platform_probe() binds usb-phy-controller@e6590100 during kernel init on boards that set &usbphy { status = \"okay\" }, so the failed-create path needs no user account. Sysfs bind is 0200 root-only but is not required for that boot path.\nUI:N - Lager, Koelsch, Porter, Silk, and iwg23s-sbc enable &usbphy/&usbphy0 in DT, so of_platform populate plus platform_probe() run rcar_gen2_phy_probe() unattended at boot; no mount, open, or USB plug-in is required to hit the devm_phy_create() error path.\nS:U - kobject_cleanup() of the still-attached usb-phy@0 device_node and the extra put on its parent usb-phy-controller node occur in host kernel OF/kobject code; this is not a KVM/Xen escape or IOMMU/DMA bypass.\nC:H - When the second of_node_put(np) drops the usb-phy@0 kobject to zero, kobject_cleanup() kfree_const()s kobj->name while the node stays in the OF tree and rcar_gen2_phy_xlate() still compares args->np to channel->of_node; later kobject_name() reads reclaimed heap, and of_node_release()'s dump_stack() leaks kernel pointers.\nI:H - kobject_cleanup() also __kobject_del()s the live usb-phy@0 sysfs dir and kobject_put()s the parent controller node, leaving a released kobject with a dangling name pointer still linked via channel->of_node; reclaiming that name slab plus later kobject_get/put on the zero-ref kobject provides write and control-flow primitives.\nA:H - of_node_release() prints \"detected bad of_node_put()\" and dump_stack() for the still-attached usb-phy@0 node; the next of_node_get/put hits refcount_t underflow/UAF (panic under panic_on_warn), and tearing down /sys/firmware/devicetree for a node still used by rcar_gen2_phy_xlate() can oops."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/phy/renesas/phy-rcar-gen2.c"], "versions": [{"version": "b64b32791fb557f922beebddf74c47baf338cef0", "lessThan": "5374f3d53376d35085e0727c8c1b945bf7123996", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b64b32791fb557f922beebddf74c47baf338cef0", "lessThan": "b780b8929c759cfa7a892d58625a5ad46cb1cbd2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/phy/renesas/phy-rcar-gen2.c"], "versions": [{"version": "7.0", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "7.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5374f3d53376d35085e0727c8c1b945bf7123996"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b780b8929c759cfa7a892d58625a5ad46cb1cbd2"}], "title": "phy: renesas: rcar-gen2: Fix double of_node_put on phy creation failure", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
