Title
fbdev: efifb: Register sysfs groups through driver core
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: efifb: Register sysfs groups through driver core The driver core can register and cleanup sysfs groups already. Make use of that functionality to simplify the error handling and cleanup. Also avoid a UAF race during unregistering where the sysctl attributes were usable after the info struct was freed.

The attacker controls only the reader side of the race and cannot trigger, widen, or retry the free.\nPR:L - The attributes are DEVICE_ATTR_RO (mode 0444), so any unprivileged local user, including one inside a container with /sys mounted, can read them in a tight loop with no capability at all.\nUI:N - The driver-removal event that opens the window is an automatic boot-time DRM handoff on typical systems rather than a deliberate victim action, and the attacker\u0027s own read requires no interaction from anyone else.\nS:U - The stale attribute access and the freed struct fb_info both live in the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - A successful read in the window dereferences the freed struct fb_info allocation, and because the read is repeatable and the attacker can spray the slab between attempts to control what lands in the freed slot, it acts as a kernel-heap disclosure oracle rather than a single bounded leak.\nI:N - Every attribute in efifb_groups is DEVICE_ATTR_RO with no store() method, so the code path performs only loads \u2014 there is no out-of-bounds write, no write into the freed object, and no way to alter kernel memory or control flow.\nA:H - Touching the freed fb_info can fault and oops when the backing page has been returned to the allocator or on hardened builds (KASAN/KFENCE/DEBUG_PAGEALLOC), and any such fault in the fbdev teardown path takes down the kernel."
