Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: wl128x: Fix atomicity violation in fmc_send_cmd() Atomicity violation occurs when the fmc_send_cmd() function is executed simultaneously with the modification of the fmdev->resp_skb value. Consider a scenario where, after passing the validity check within the function, a non-null fmdev->resp_skb variable is assigned a null value. This results in an invalid fmdev->resp_skb variable passing the validity check. As seen in the later part of the function, skb = fmdev->resp_skb; when the invalid fmdev->resp_skb passes the check, a null pointer dereference error may occur at line 478, evt_hdr = (void *)skb->data; To address this issue, it is recommended to include the validity check of fmdev->resp_skb within the locked section of the function. This modification ensures that the value of fmdev->resp_skb does not change during the validation process, thereby maintaining its validity. This possible bug is found by an experimental static analysis tool developed by our team. This tool analyzes the locking APIs to extract function pairs that can be concurrently executed, and then analyzes the instructions in the paired functions to identify possible concurrency bugs including data races and atomicity violations.

      "value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: media: wl128x: Se corrige la violaci\u00f3n de atomicidad en fmc_send_cmd() La violaci\u00f3n de atomicidad ocurre cuando la funci\u00f3n fmc_send_cmd() se ejecuta simult\u00e1neamente con la modificaci\u00f3n del valor fmdev-\u0026gt;resp_skb. Considere un escenario donde, despu\u00e9s de pasar la verificaci\u00f3n de validez dentro de la funci\u00f3n, a una variable fmdev-\u0026gt;resp_skb no nula se le asigna un valor nulo. Esto da como resultado una variable fmdev-\u0026gt;resp_skb no v\u00e1lida que pasa la verificaci\u00f3n de validez. Como se ve en la parte posterior de la funci\u00f3n, skb = fmdev-\u0026gt;resp_skb; cuando la fmdev-\u0026gt;resp_skb no v\u00e1lida pasa la verificaci\u00f3n, puede ocurrir un error de desreferencia de puntero nulo en la l\u00ednea 478, evt_hdr = (void *)skb-\u0026gt;data; Para solucionar este problema, se recomienda incluir la comprobaci\u00f3n de validez de fmdev-\u0026gt;resp_skb dentro de la secci\u00f3n bloqueada de la funci\u00f3n. Esta modificaci\u00f3n garantiza que el valor de fmdev-\u0026gt;resp_skb no cambie durante el proceso de validaci\u00f3n, manteniendo as\u00ed su validez. Este posible error se detecta mediante una herramienta de an\u00e1lisis est\u00e1tico experimental desarrollada por nuestro equipo. Esta herramienta analiza las API de bloqueo para extraer pares de funciones que se pueden ejecutar simult\u00e1neamente y, a continuaci\u00f3n, analiza las instrucciones en las funciones emparejadas para identificar posibles errores de concurrencia, incluidas las ejecuci\u00f3ns de datos y las violaciones de atomicidad."
