Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Linux kernel是美国Linux基金会开源的一个操作系统内核。 Linux kernel 3.7版本存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于charger_manager_remove()和err_reg_extcon探测错误路径在拆除power_supply sysfs条目之前释放了调节器，对externally_control sysfs属性的并发写入会解引用已释放的句柄，导致释放后重用。

Vulnerability Title
power: supply: charger-manager: register regulators before exposing sysfs
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: charger-manager: register regulators before exposing sysfs charger_manager_remove() and the err_reg_extcon probe error path free each charger regulator with regulator_put() before tearing down the power_supply sysfs entries (power_supply_unregister()). charger_manager_remove() also calls try_charger_enable(cm, false) after the regulator_put() loop. A concurrent write to a charger's externally_control sysfs attribute that lands between regulator_put() and power_supply_unregister() can run charger_externally_control_store() and call try_charger_enable(), which, when charging is enabled, dereferences the already-freed consumer handle. When charging is enabled, try_charger_enable(cm, false) in .remove() also dereferences the freed handles directly. Both leave use-after-free windows. Symmetrically, probe registers the sysfs entries (power_supply_register) before acquiring the regulators (regulator_get, inside charger_manager_register_extcon), so userspace can reach externally_control before the regulators are available. Split charger_manager_register_extcon() on the sync/async boundary: charger_manager_get_regulators() (regulator_get only, no async producer) now runs before power_supply_register() so sysfs is not live before regulators are available, and charger_manager_register_extcon() keeps only the extcon notifier/work setup, still after power_supply_register() so a power_supply_register() failure cannot reach extcon setup. This keeps the sysfs setup/teardown ordering symmetric without introducing an asynchronous producer on the earlier probe-error path. Move power_supply_unregister() and try_charger_enable(cm, false) ahead of the regulator_put() loop on both teardown paths, and adjust err_reg_extcon (power_supply_unregister() then fall through err_regulator for regulator_put(); get_regulators self-rolls back on its own failure). This does not address the separate extcon-notifier-driven deref of the same handles, which needs its own synchronization design. Found by an in-house static analysis tool.
