CVE-2022-50225

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

riscv:uprobe fix SR_SPIE set/clear handling

In riscv the process of uprobe going to clear spie before exec the origin insn,and set spie after that.But When access the page which origin insn has been placed a page fault may happen and irq was disabled in arch_uprobe_pre_xol function,It cause a WARN as follows. There is no need to clear/set spie in arch_uprobe_pre/post/abort_xol. We can just remove it.

Weakness

The product does not properly acquire or release a lock on a resource, leading to unexpected resource state changes and behaviors.

Affected Software

Extended Description

Locking is a type of synchronization behavior that ensures that multiple independently-operating processes or threads do not interfere with each other when accessing the same resource. All processes/threads are expected to follow the same steps for locking. If these steps are not followed precisely - or if no locking is done at all - then another process/thread could modify the shared resource in a way that is not visible or predictable to the original process. This can lead to data or memory corruption, denial of service, etc.
