From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@zju.edu.cn> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.5-rc1 commit dbe836576f12743a7d2d170ad4ad4fd324c4d47a category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I7QE3F CVE: CVE-2023-4134 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- The watchdog_timer can schedule tx_timeout_task and watchdog_work can also arm watchdog_timer. The process is shown below: ----------- timer schedules work ------------ cyttsp4_watchdog_timer() //timer handler schedule_work(&cd->watchdog_work) ----------- work arms timer ------------ cyttsp4_watchdog_work() //workqueue callback function cyttsp4_start_wd_timer() mod_timer(&cd->watchdog_timer, ...) Although del_timer_sync() and cancel_work_sync() are called in cyttsp4_remove(), the timer and workqueue could still be rearmed. As a result, the possible use after free bugs could happen. The process is shown below: (cleanup routine) | (timer and workqueue routine) cyttsp4_remove() | cyttsp4_watchdog_timer() //timer cyttsp4_stop_wd_timer() | schedule_work() del_timer_sync() | | cyttsp4_watchdog_work() //worker | cyttsp4_start_wd_timer() | mod_timer() cancel_work_sync() | | cyttsp4_watchdog_timer() //timer | schedule_work() del_timer_sync() | kfree(cd) //FREE | | cyttsp4_watchdog_work() // reschedule! | cd-> //USE This patch changes del_timer_sync() to timer_shutdown_sync(), which could prevent rearming of the timer from the workqueue.
