Additionally, one of the GPIO\nchip's lines is also in the release process and holds the notifier chain's\nread rwsem. Consequently, a race condition leads to the use-after-free of\nwatched_lines.\n\nHere is the typical stack when issue happened:\n\n[free]\ngpio_chrdev_release()\n --> bitmap_free(cdev->watched_lines) <-- freed\n --> blocking_notifier_chain_unregister()\n --> down_write(&nh->rwsem) <-- waiting rwsem\n --> __down_write_common()\n --> rwsem_down_write_slowpath()\n --> schedule_preempt_disabled()\n --> schedule()\n\n[use]\nst54spi_gpio_dev_release()\n --> gpio_free()\n --> gpiod_free()\n --> gpiod_free_commit()\n --> gpiod_line_state_notify()\n --> blocking_notifier_call_chain()\n --> down_read(&nh->rwsem); <-- held rwsem\n --> notifier_call_chain()\n --> lineinfo_changed_notify()\n --> test_bit(xxxx, cdev->watched_lines) <-- use after free\n\nThe side effect of the use-after-free issue is that a GPIO line event is\nbeing generated for userspace where it shouldn't. However, since the chrdev\nis being closed, userspace won't have the chance to read that event anyway.\n\nTo fix the issue, call the bitmap_free() function after the unregistration\nof lineinfo_changed_nb notifier chain.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2024-05-30T15:29:02.591+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-15T00:42:40.022+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"51c1064e82e77b39a49889287ca50709303e2f26\",\n \"lessThan\": \"2dfbb920a89bdc58087672ad5325dc6c588b6860\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"51c1064e82e77b39a49889287ca50709303e2f26\",\n \"lessThan\": \"2d008d4961b039d2edce8976289773961b7e5fb5\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"51c1064e82e77b39a49889287ca50709303e2f26\",\n \"lessThan\": \"d38c49f7bdf14381270736299e2ff68ec248a017\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"51c1064e82e77b39a49889287ca50709303e2f26\",\n \"lessThan\": \"95ca7c90eaf5ea8a8460536535101e3e81160e2a\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"51c1064e82e77b39a49889287ca50709303e2f26\",\n \"lessThan\": \"ca710b5f40b8b16fdcad50bebd47f50e4c62d239\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"51c1064e82e77b39a49889287ca50709303e2f26\",\n \"lessThan\": \"02f6b0e1ec7e0e7d059dddc893645816552039da\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n }\n ]\n }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"5.7\",\n \"status\": \"affected\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"5.7\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.10.234\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.10.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.15.177\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.15.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.1.127\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.6.31\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.8.10\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.8.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.9\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n }\n ]\n }"}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2dfbb920a89bdc58087672ad5325dc6c588b6860","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2d008d4961b039d2edce8976289773961b7e5fb5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d38c49f7bdf14381270736299e2ff68ec248a017","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/95ca7c90eaf5ea8a8460536535101e3e81160e2a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ca710b5f40b8b16fdcad50bebd47f50e4c62d239","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/02f6b0e1ec7e0e7d059dddc893645816552039da"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-36899","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2024-36899","identifiers":["CVE-2024-36899"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
