Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm: use try_get_ops() in tpm-space.c
As part of the series conversion to remove nested TPM operations:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20190205224723.19671-1-jarkko.sakkinen@linux.intel.com/
exposure of the chip->tpm_mutex was removed from much of the upper
level code. In this conversion, tpm2_del_space() was missed. This
didn't matter much because it's usually called closely after a
converted operation, so there's only a very tiny race window where the
chip can be removed before the space flushing is done which causes a
NULL deref on the mutex. However, there are reports of this window
being hit in practice, so fix this by converting tpm2_del_space() to
use tpm_try_get_ops(), which performs all the teardown checks before
acquring the mutex.
