Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

spi: fsl-lpspi: terminate the RX channel on TX prepare failure path

When dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() fails for the TX channel, the error path

terminates the TX DMA channel but leaves the RX channel running. Since

the RX channel was already submitted and issued prior to preparing

the TX descriptor, returning -EINVAL causes the SPI core to unmap the

DMA buffers while the RX DMA engine continues writing to them, leading

to potential memory corruption or use-after-free.

Terminate the RX channel before returning on the TX prepare failure path.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
