counter is never taken,\nbecause the required TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2 flag is never set.\n\nFix this by moving the TPM 2 character device handling from\ntpm_chip_alloc() to tpm_add_char_device() which is called at a later point\nin time when the flag has been set in case of TPM2.\n\nCommit fdc915f7f719 (\"tpm: expose spaces via a device link /dev/tpmrm<n>\")\nalready introduced function tpm_devs_release() to release the extra\nreference but did not implement the required put on chip->devs that results\nin the call of this function.\n\nFix this by putting chip->devs in tpm_chip_unregister().\n\nFinally move the new implementation for the TPM 2 handling into a new\nfunction to avoid multiple checks for the TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2 flag in the\ngood case and error cases.","state":"PUBLISHED","assigner":"Linux","published_at":"2025-02-26 07:01:05","updated_at":"2026-08-04 10:17:42"},"problem_types":["CWE-416","CWE-416 CWE-416 Use After

tpm_common_write() although the reference counter is already zero.\n\nSince commit 8979b02aaf1d (\"tpm: Fix reference count to main device\") the\nextra reference used to prevent a premature zero counter is never taken,\nbecause the required TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2 flag is never set.\n\nFix this by moving the TPM 2 character device handling from\ntpm_chip_alloc() to tpm_add_char_device() which is called at a later point\nin time when the flag has been set in case of TPM2.\n\nCommit fdc915f7f719 (\"tpm: expose spaces via a device link /dev/tpmrm<n>\")\nalready introduced function tpm_devs_release() to release the extra\nreference but did not implement the required put on chip->devs that results\nin the call of this function.\n\nFix this by putting chip->devs in tpm_chip_unregister().\n\nFinally move the new implementation for the TPM 2 handling into a new\nfunction to avoid multiple checks for the TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2 flag in the\ngood case and error cases."}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"baseScore":7,"baseSeverity":"HIGH","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"}}],"providerMetadata":{"dateUpdated":"2026-08-04T09:04:50.467Z","orgId":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","shortName":"Linux"},"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/473a66f99cb8173c14138c5a5c69bfad04e8f9ac"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cb64bd038beacb4331fe464a36c8b5481e8f51e2"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a27ed2f3695baf15f9b34d2d7a1f9fc105539a81"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/290e05f346d1829e849662c97e42d5ad984f5258"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/662893b4f6bd466ff9e1cd454c44c26d32d554fe"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2f928c0d5c02dbab49e8c19d98725c822f6fc409"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6e7baf84149fb43950631415de231b3a41915aa3"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7e0438f83dc769465ee663bb5dcf8cc154940712"}],"title":"tpm:
