In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipmi: Fix use-after-free of cmd_rcvr in _ipmi_destroy_user()
Commit 9e91f8a6c868 ("ipmi:msghandler: Remove srcu for the
ipmi_interfaces list") dropped the synchronize_rcu() between unlinking
the command receivers from intf->cmd_rcvrs and freeing them, updating
only the comment that explains why the barrier is needed.
The cmd_rcvrs list is still traversed under plain RCU: find_cmd_rcvr()
walks it inside rcu_read_lock(), and handle_ipmb_get_msg_cmd() borrows
rcvr->user from that lookup within the same read-side section. Without
the grace period, _ipmi_destroy_user() can kfree() a cmd_rcvr while a
reader still holds a pointer to it, causing a use-after-free.
The rework only made srcu unnecessary for the interfaces list; the
cmd_rcvrs list still relies on plain RCU. Restore the synchronize_rcu()
before freeing the receivers.
