Title
Revert "tty: n_gsm: fix UAF in gsm_cleanup_mux"
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "tty: n_gsm: fix UAF in gsm_cleanup_mux"
This reverts commit 9b9c8195f3f0d74a826077fc1c01b9ee74907239.
The commit above is reverted as it did not solve the original issue.
gsm_cleanup_mux() tries to free up the virtual ttys by calling
gsm_dlci_release() for each available DLCI. There, dlci_put() is called to
decrease the reference counter for the DLCI via tty_port_put() which
finally calls gsm_dlci_free(). This already clears the pointer which is
being checked in gsm_cleanup_mux() before calling gsm_dlci_release().
Therefore, it is not necessary to clear this pointer in gsm_cleanup_mux()
as done in the reverted commit. The commit introduces a null pointer
dereference:

</TASK>
The actual issue is that nothing guards dlci_put() from being called
multiple times while the tty driver was triggered but did not yet finished
calling gsm_dlci_free().

There, dlci_put() is called to\ndecrease the reference counter for the DLCI via tty_port_put() which\nfinally calls gsm_dlci_free(). This already clears the pointer which is\nbeing checked in gsm_cleanup_mux() before calling gsm_dlci_release().\nTherefore, it is not necessary to clear this pointer in gsm_cleanup_mux()\nas done in the reverted commit.

All\u00ed, se llama a dlci_put() para disminuir el contador de referencia para el DLCI a trav\u00e9s de tty_port_put() que finalmente llama a gsm_dlci_free(). Esto ya borra el puntero que se est\u00e1 verificando en gsm_cleanup_mux() antes de llamar a gsm_dlci_release(). Por lo tanto, no es necesario borrar este puntero en gsm_cleanup_mux() como se hizo en el commit revertida. el commit introduce una desreferencia de puntero nulo: ? __die+0x1f/0x70 ? page_fault_oops+0x156/0x420? search_exception_tables+0x37/0x50? fixup_exception+0x21/0x310? exc_page_fault+0x69/0x150? asm_exc_page_fault+0x26/0x30? tty_port_put+0x19/0xa0 gsmtty_cleanup+0x29/0x80 [n_gsm] release_one_tty+0x37/0xe0 proceso_one_work+0x1e6/0x3e0 trabajador_thread+0x4c/0x3d0 ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 kthread+0xe1/0x110 ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 ret_from_fork+0x2f/0x50 ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1b/0x30 El problema real es que nada protege a dlci_put() de ser llamado varias veces mientras el controlador tty se activ\u00f3 pero a\u00fan no termin\u00f3 de llamar a gsm_dlci_free()."

There, dlci_put() is called to\ndecrease the reference counter for the DLCI via tty_port_put() which\nfinally calls gsm_dlci_free(). This already clears the pointer which is\nbeing checked in gsm_cleanup_mux() before calling gsm_dlci_release().\nTherefore, it is not necessary to clear this pointer in gsm_cleanup_mux()\nas done in the reverted commit.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
