How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 linux-6.12 to version 6.12.111-1~deb12u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.12 package and not the linux-6.12 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

rpmsg: glink: fix deadlock in endpoint destroy during driver detach

During driver detach, the device core holds the device mutex throughout the driver's remove callback chain. When the rpmsg endpoint is destroyed as part of that teardown, the GLINK endpoint destroy implementation attempts to unregister the underlying rpmsg device. That unregistration calls device_del(), which tries to re-acquire the same device mutex already held higher up the stack, causing rmmod to hang indefinitely.

The deadlock manifests with the following call chain:

[<0>] device_del+0x44/0x414  <- tries to acquire same mutex [<0>] device_unregister+0x18/0x34 [<0>] rpmsg_unregister_device+0x28/0x4c [<0>] qcom_glink_remove_rpmsg_device+0x70/0xc0 [<0>] qcom_glink_destroy_ept+0x58/0xbc [<0>] rpmsg_dev_remove+0x50/0x60 [<0>] device_remove+0x4c/0x80 [<0>] device_release_driver_internal+0x1cc/0x228 <- acquires device mutex [<0>] driver_detach+0x4c/0x98 [<0>] bus_remove_driver+0x6c/0xbc [<0>] driver_unregister+0x30/0x60 [<0>] unregister_rpmsg_driver+0x10/0x1c [<0>] fastrpc_exit+0x28/0x38 [fastrpc] [<0>] __arm64_sys_delete_module+0x1b8/0x294 [<0>] invoke_syscall+0x48/0x10c [<0>] el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0xc0/0xe0 [<0>] do_el0_svc+0x1c/0x28 [<0>] el0_svc+0x34/0x108 [<0>] el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xe4 [<0>] el0t_64_sync+0x198/0x19c

The rpmsg device unregistration inside endpoint destroy is redundant. In both contexts where endpoint destruction is triggered:

  • Driver detach path: the driver core already tears down the rpmsg device.

  • Channel close path: the rpmsg device is already unregistered before endpoint destruction is reached.

Remove the redundant unregistration to fix the deadlock.
