From efe4186e6a1b54bf38b9e05450d43b0da1fd7739 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duoming Zhou Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2022 09:43:03 +0800 Subject: drivers: hamradio: 6pack: fix UAF bug caused by mod_timer() When a 6pack device is detaching, the sixpack_close() will act to cleanup necessary resources. Although del_timer_sync() in sixpack_close() won't return if there is an active timer, one could use mod_timer() in sp_xmit_on_air() to wake up timer again by calling userspace syscall such as ax25_sendmsg(), ax25_connect() and ax25_ioctl(). This unexpected waked handler, sp_xmit_on_air(), realizes nothing about the undergoing cleanup and may still call pty_write() to use driver layer resources that have already been released. One of the possible race conditions is shown below: (USE) | (FREE) ax25_sendmsg() | ax25_queue_xmit() | ... | sp_xmit() | sp_encaps() | sixpack_close() sp_xmit_on_air() | del_timer_sync(&sp->tx_t) mod_timer(&sp->tx_t,...) | ... | unregister_netdev() | ... (wait a while) | tty_release() | tty_release_struct() | release_tty() sp_xmit_on_air() | tty_kref_put(tty_struct) //FREE pty_write(tty_struct) //USE | ... The corresponding fail log is shown below: =============================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __run_timers.part.0+0x170/0x470 Write of size 8 at addr ffff88800a652ab8 by task swapper/2/0 ...

This patch reorders the del_timer_sync() after the unregister_netdev() to avoid UAF bugs. Because the unregister_netdev() is well synchronized, it flushs out any pending queues, waits the refcount of net_device decreases to zero and removes net_device from kernel. There is not any running routines after executing unregister_netdev(). Therefore, we could not arouse timer from userspace again.
