Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: renesas: Check that the transfer is valid before accessing it
The Renesas I3C driver uses an asynchronous model to transfer data. It
prepares a struct renesas_i3c_xfer, enqueues it, and waits for completion.
The interrupt handler dequeues the transfer, updates/uses it, and signals
the waiting thread.
If the completion times out, the waiting thread dequeues the transfer and
free it. If an interrupt fires after that, the handler may access freed
memory, leading to crashes.
Check that the transfer is still valid before accessing it in the
interrupt handler. With it clear any status flags and disable all
the interrupts to avoid triggering the same interrupts again.
