NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-perf6.12-debuginfo package and not the python3-perf6.12-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

hwrng: core - fix rng list on registration error

hwrng_register(rng) does the following:

  1. Checks if rng has name and read methods set
  2. Checks if the name already exists
  3. Adds rng to global rng_list
  4. May try to set rng to current_rng

If step 4 fails, it returns an error. However, it does not remove the rng from rng_list, causing a dangling reference which can result in use-after-free if the caller frees rng, since registration failed.

Add a list_del_init() cleanup step.
