CVE-2023-52859 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

perf: hisi: Fix use-after-free when register pmu fails

When we fail to register the uncore pmu the pmu context may not been allocated. The error handing will call cpuhp_state_remove_instance() to call uncore pmu offline callback which migrate the pmu context. Since that’s liable to lead to some kind of use-after-free.

Use cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls() instead of cpuhp_state_remove_instance() so that the notifiers don’t execute after the PMU device has been failed to register.
