CVE-2023-54044

NameCVE-2023-54044
DescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spmi: Add a check for remove callback when removing a SPMI driver When removing a SPMI driver, there can be a crash due to NULL pointer dereference if it does not have a remove callback defined. This is one such call trace observed when removing the QCOM SPMI PMIC driver: dump_backtrace.cfi_jt+0x0/0x8 dump_stack_lvl+0xd8/0x16c panic+0x188/0x498 __cfi_slowpath+0x0/0x214 __cfi_slowpath+0x1dc/0x214 spmi_drv_remove+0x16c/0x1e0 device_release_driver_internal+0x468/0x79c driver_detach+0x11c/0x1a0 bus_remove_driver+0xc4/0x124 driver_unregister+0x58/0x84 cleanup_module+0x1c/0xc24 [qcom_spmi_pmic] __do_sys_delete_module+0x3ec/0x53c __arm64_sys_delete_module+0x18/0x28 el0_svc_common+0xdc/0x294 el0_svc+0x38/0x9c el0_sync_handler+0x8c/0xf0 el0_sync+0x1b4/0x1c0 If a driver has all its resources allocated through devm_() APIs and does not need any other explicit cleanup, it would not require a remove callback to be defined. Hence, add a check for remove callback presence before calling it when removing a SPMI driver.
