Description

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: gpio-keys - cancel delayed work only in case of GPIO gpio_keys module can either accept gpios or interrupts. The module initializes delayed work in case of gpios only and is only used if debounce timer is not used, so make sure cancel_delayed_work_sync() is called only when its gpio-backed and debounce_use_hrtimer is false. This fixes the issue seen below when the gpio_keys module is unloaded and an interrupt pin is used instead of GPIO: [ 360.297569] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 360.302303] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 237 at kernel/workqueue.c:3066 __flush_work+0x414/0x470 [ 360.310531] Modules linked in: gpio_keys(-) [ 360.314797] CPU: 0 PID: 237 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 5.18.0-rc5-arm64-renesas-00116-g73636105874d-dirty #166 [ 360.324662] Hardware name: Renesas SMARC EVK based on r9a07g054l2 (DT) [ 360.331270] pstate: 60400005 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 360.338318] pc : __flush_work+0x414/0x470 [ 360.342385] lr : __cancel_work_timer+0x140/0x1b0 [ 360.347065] sp : ffff80000a7fba00 [ 360.350423] x29: ffff80000a7fba00 x28: ffff000012b9c5c0 x27: 0000000000000000 [ 360.357664] x26: ffff80000a7fbb80 x25: ffff80000954d0a8 x24: 0000000000000001 [ 360.364904] x23: ffff800009757000 x22: 0000000000000000 x21: ffff80000919b000 [ 360.372143] x20: ffff00000f5974e0 x19: ffff00000f5974e0 x18: ffff8000097fcf48 [ 360.379382] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: 0000000000053f40 [ 360.386622] x14: ffff800009850e88 x13: 0000000000000002 x12: 000000000000a60c [ 360.393861] x11: 000000000000a610 x10: 0000000000000000 x9 : 0000000000000008 [ 360.401100] x8 : 0101010101010101 x7 : 00000000a473c394 x6 : 0080808080808080 [ 360.408339] x5 : 0000000000000001 x4 : 0000000000000000 x3 : ffff80000919b458 [ 360.415578] x2 : ffff8000097577f0 x1 : 0000000000000001 x0 : 0000000000000000 [ 360.422818] Call trace: [ 360.425299] __flush_work+0x414/0x470 [ 360.429012] __cancel_work_timer+0x140/0x1b0 [ 360.433340] cancel_delayed_work_sync+0x10/0x18 [ 360.437931] gpio_keys_quiesce_key+0x28/0x58 [gpio_keys] [ 360.443327] devm_action_release+0x10/0x18 [ 360.447481] release_nodes+0x8c/0x1a0 [ 360.451194] devres_release_all+0x90/0x100 [ 360.455346] device_unbind_cleanup+0x14/0x60 [ 360.459677] device_release_driver_internal+0xe8/0x168 [ 360.464883] driver_detach+0x4c/0x90 [ 360.468509] bus_remove_driver+0x54/0xb0 [ 360.472485] driver_unregister+0x2c/0x58 [ 360.476462] platform_driver_unregister+0x10/0x18 [ 360.481230] gpio_keys_exit+0x14/0x828 [gpio_keys] [ 360.486088] __arm64_sys_delete_module+0x1e0/0x270 [ 360.490945] invoke_syscall+0x40/0xf8 [ 360.494661] el0_svc_common.constprop.3+0xf0/0x110 [ 360.499515] do_el0_svc+0x20/0x78 [ 360.502877] el0_svc+0x48/0xf8 [ 360.505977] el0t_64_sync_handler+0x88/0xb0 [ 360.510216] el0t_64_sync+0x148/0x14c [ 360.513930] irq event stamp: 4306 [ 360.517288] hardirqs last enabled at (4305): [<ffff8000080b0300>] __cancel_work_timer+0x130/0x1b0 [ 360.526359] hardirqs last disabled at (4306): [<ffff800008d194fc>] el1_dbg+0x24/0x88 [ 360.534204] softirqs last enabled at (4278): [<ffff8000080104a0>] _stext+0x4a0/0x5e0 [ 360.542133] softirqs last disabled at (4267): [<ffff8000080932ac>] irq_exit_rcu+0x18c/0x1b0 [ 360.550591] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authorities (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications ).

CVSS v3 Score Breakdown Red Hat NVD
CVSS v3 Base Score 5.5 5.5
Attack Vector Local Local
Attack Complexity Low Low
Privileges Required Low Low
User Interaction None None
Scope Unchanged Unchanged
Confidentiality Impact None None

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Red Hat's CVSS v3 score or Impact different from other vendors?

 For open source software shipped by multiple vendors, the CVSS base scores may vary for each vendor's version depending on the version they ship, how they ship it, the platform, and even how the software is compiled. This makes scoring of vulnerabilities difficult for third-party vulnerability databases such as NVD that only provide a single CVSS base score for each vulnerability. Red Hat scores reflect how a vulnerability affects our products specifically.

For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/762393.

My product is listed as "Under investigation" or "Affected", when will Red Hat release a fix for this vulnerability?
  • "Under investigation" doesn't necessarily mean that the product is affected by this vulnerability. It only means that our Analysis Team is still working on determining whether the product is affected and how it is affected.
  • "Affected" means that our Analysis Team has determined that this product is affected by this vulnerability and might release a fix to address this in the near future.

What can I do if my product is listed as "Will not fix"?

 A "will not fix" status means that a fix for an affected product version is not planned or not possible due to complexity, which may create additional risk.

Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
  • Upgrade to a supported product version that includes a fix for this vulnerability (recommended).
  • Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
  • Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.

What can I do if my product is listed as "Fix deferred"?

 A deferred status means that a fix for an affected product version is not guaranteed due to higher-priority development work.

Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
  • Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
  • Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
  • Red Hat Engineering focuses on addressing high-priority issues based on their complexity or limited lifecycle support. Therefore, lower-priority issues will not receive immediate fixes.

What is a mitigation?

 A mitigation is an action that can be taken to reduce the impact of a security vulnerability, without deploying any fixes.

I have a Red Hat product but it is not in the above list, is it affected?

 The listed products were found to include one or more of the components that this vulnerability affects. These products underwent a thorough evaluation to determine their affectedness by this vulnerability. Note that layered products (such as container-based offerings) that consume affected components from any of the products listed in this table may be affected and are not represented.

Why is my security scanner reporting my product as vulnerable to this vulnerability even though my product version is fixed or not affected?

 In order to maintain code stability and compatibility, Red Hat usually does not rebase packages to entirely new versions. Instead, we backport fixes and new features to an older version of the package we distribute. This can result in some security scanners that only consider the package version to report the package as vulnerable. To avoid this, we suggest that you use an approved vulnerability scanner from our This content is not included.Red Hat Vulnerability Scanner Certification program.

My product is listed as "Out of Support Scope". What does this mean?

 When a product is listed as "Out of Support Scope", it means a vulnerability with the impact level assigned to this CVE is no longer covered by its current support lifecycle phase. The product has been identified to contain the impacted component, but analysis to determine whether it is affected or not by this vulnerability was not performed. The product should be assumed to be affected. Customers are advised to apply any mitigation options documented on this page, consider removing or disabling the impacted component, or upgrade to a supported version of the product that has an update available.
