CVE-2022-50820 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/arm_dmc620: Fix hotplug callback leak in dmc620_pmu_init() dmc620_pmu_init() won't remove the callback added by cpuhp_setup_state_multi() when platform_driver_register() failed. Remove the callback by cpuhp_remove_multi_state() in fail path. Similar to the handling of arm_ccn_init() in commit 26242b330093 ("bus: arm-ccn: Prevent hotplug callback leak")
A hotplug callback leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's ARM DMC-620 performance monitoring unit (PMU) driver. The issue arises in the 'dmc620_pmu_init()' function, which fails to remove a callback added by 'cpuhp_setup_state_multi()' when 'platform_driver_register()' encounters an error. This oversight can lead to a callback leak, similar to a previously addressed issue in the ARM CCN driver. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability.
