What it is

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

arm_mpam: Disable driver unbind to avoid UAF

When a user unbinds an MSC and that MSC is the only MSC left for a

component then the corresponding mpam_component will be freed. If the user

then goes on to read the schemata file in the resctrl filesystem then the

mpam_component will be accessed from resctrl_arch_get_config() leading to a

use after free.

As the MPAM driver is not a module the unbind sysfs interface is the only

way to trigger the remove. Instead of dealing with the complexity of

allowing some unused MSC to unbind just remove the unbind sysfs interface.
