  3. CVE-2025-38069
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Fix double free that causes kernel to oops Fix a kernel oops found while testing the stm32_pcie Endpoint driver with handling of PERST# deassertion: During EP initialization, pci_epf_test_alloc_space() allocates all BARs, which are further freed if epc_set_bar() fails (for instance, due to no free inbound window). However, when pci_epc_set_bar() fails, the error path: pci_epc_set_bar() -> pci_epf_free_space() does not clear the previous assignment to epf_test->reg[bar]. Then, if the host reboots, the PERST# deassertion restarts the BAR allocation sequence with the same allocation failure (no free inbound window), creating a double free situation since epf_test->reg[bar] was deallocated and is still non-NULL. Thus, make sure that pci_epf_alloc_space() and pci_epf_free_space() invocations are symmetric, and as such, set epf_test->reg[bar] to NULL when memory is freed. [kwilczynski: commit log]

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Se corrige la doble liberación que provoca un error en el kernel. Se corrige un error en el kernel detectado al probar el controlador de endpoint stm32_pcie con el manejo de la deaserción PERST#: Durante la inicialización de EP, pci_epf_test_alloc_space() asigna todos los BAR, que se liberan aún más si epc_set_bar() falla (por ejemplo, debido a que no hay una ventana de entrada libre). Sin embargo, cuando pci_epc_set_bar() falla, la ruta de error: pci_epc_set_bar() -> pci_epf_free_space() no borra la asignación previa a epf_test->reg[bar]. Luego, si el host se reinicia, la desasignación PERST# reinicia la secuencia de asignación de BAR con el mismo fallo de asignación (sin ventana de entrada libre), lo que crea una situación de doble liberación, ya que epf_test->reg[bar] se desasignó y sigue siendo distinto de NULL. Por lo tanto, asegúrese de que las invocaciones de pci_epf_alloc_space() y pci_epf_free_space() sean simétricas y, por lo tanto, establezca epf_test->reg[bar] en NULL cuando se libere memoria.
