In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: buffer: serialize buffer teardown with mode claims
Buffer-mode claims hold mlock to guarantee that the device remains in
buffer mode until the claim is released. Normal buffer updates take
info_exist_lock followed by mlock in iio_update_buffers().
However, iio_device_unregister() disables and deactivates all buffers
without taking mlock. This can invalidate buffer state, including
active_scan_mask, while a buffer-mode claim is held.
Take mlock in iio_disable_all_buffers() so that unregister honors the
mode-claim lifetime guarantee. The info_exist_lock -> mlock ordering
matches iio_update_buffers().
