[PATCH 3/4] binder: fix freeze UAF in binder_release_work()
Posted by Carlos Llamas 1 year, 4 months ago 
When a binder reference is cleaned up, any freeze work queued in the
associated process should also be removed. Otherwise, the reference is
freed while its ref->freeze.work is still queued in proc->work leading
to a use-after-free issue as shown by the following KASAN report:

  ==================================================================
  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in binder_release_work+0x398/0x3d0
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff31600ee91488 by task kworker/5:1/211

  CPU: 5 UID: 0 PID: 211 Comm: kworker/5:1 Not tainted 6.11.0-rc7-00382-gfc6c92196396 #22
  Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT)
  Workqueue: events binder_deferred_func

   process_one_work+0x51c/0xbd4
   worker_thread+0x608/0xee8
  ==================================================================

This commit fixes the issue by ensuring any queued freeze work is removed
when cleaning up a binder reference.
