[PATCH v3 0/4] fbdev: Fix use-after-free caused by wrong fb_info cleanup in drivers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

This series contains patches suggested by Daniel Vetter to fix a use-after-free
error in the fb_release() function, due a fb_info associated with a fbdev being
freed too early while a user-space process still has the fbdev dev node opened.

That is caused by a wrong management of the struct fb_info lifetime in drivers,
but the fbdev core can also be made more resilient about it an leak

This can easily be reproduced with the simplefb driver doing the following:

$ cat < /dev/fb0 &
$ echo simple-framebuffer.0 > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/simple-framebuffer/unbind
$ kill %1

Patch #1 adds a WARN_ON() to framebuffer_release() to prevent the use-after-free
to happen.

Patch #2, #3 and #4 fix the simplefb, efifb and vesafb drivers respectively, to
free the resources at the correct place.

Changes in v3:
- Add Fixes: tag (Daniel Vetter).
- Include in commit message a note that drivers are still broken
  but at least reverts to the previous behavior (Daniel Vetter).
- Only move framebuffer_release() and don't do any other change
  (Daniel Vetter).

Changes in v2:
- Also do the change for vesafb (Thomas Zimmermann).

  fbdev: Prevent possible use-after-free in fb_release()

Javier Martinez Canillas (3):

  fbdev: efifb: Cleanup fb_info in .fb_destroy rather than .remove
  fbdev: vesafb: Cleanup fb_info in .fb_destroy rather than .remove
