[PATCH v2] media: rc: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by ene_tx_irqsim()
Posted by Duoming Zhou 2 years, 7 months ago 
When the ene device is detaching, function ene_remove() will
be called. But there is no function to cancel tx_sim_timer
in ene_remove(), the timer handler ene_tx_irqsim() could race
with ene_remove(). As a result, the UAF bugs could happen,
the process is shown below.

    (cleanup routine)          |        (timer routine)
                               | mod_timer(&dev->tx_sim_timer, ..)
ene_remove()                   | (wait a time)
  kfree(dev) //FREE            |
                               | ene_tx_irqsim()
                               |   dev->hw_lock //USE
                               |   ene_tx_sample(dev) //USE

Fix by adding del_timer_sync(&dev->tx_sim_timer) in ene_remove(),
The tx_sim_timer could stop before ene device is deallocated.

What's more, the timer can call ene_tx_sample() which can write
to the io ports. So we should put rc_unregister_device() and
del_timer_sync(&dev->tx_sim_timer) before release_region() in
ene_remove().

I'm sorry, I think there might be a problem there: the irq is freed before
the rc device is unregistered.

The rx receiver is disabled with ene_rx_disable() before rc_unregister_device()
is called, which means it can be enabled again if a process opens /dev/lirc0
between ene_rx_disable() and rc_unregister_device().

ene_remove() should call rc_unregister_device() and del_timer_sync() before
anything else.
