Media devnode open/ioctl could be in progress when media device unregister
is initiated. System calls and ioctls check media device registered status
at the beginning, however, there is a window where unregister could be in
progress without changing the media devnode status to unregistered.
process 1 process 2
fd = open(/dev/media0)
media_devnode_is_registered()
(returns true here)
media_device_unregister()
(unregister is in progress
and devnode isn't
unregistered yet)
...
ioctl(fd, ...)
__media_ioctl()
media_devnode_is_registered()
(returns true here)
...
media_devnode_unregister()
...
(driver releases the media device
memory)
media_device_ioctl()
(By this point
devnode->media_dev does not
point to allocated memory.
use-after free in in mutex_lock_nested)
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mutex_lock_nested+0x79c/0x800 at addr
ffff8801ebe914f0
Fix it by clearing register bit when unregister starts to avoid the race.
process 1 process 2
fd = open(/dev/media0)
media_devnode_is_registered()
(could return true here)
media_device_unregister()
(clear the register bit,
then start unregister.)
...
ioctl(fd, ...)
__media_ioctl()
media_devnode_is_registered()
(return false here, ioctl
returns I/O error, and
will not access media
device memory)
...
media_devnode_unregister()
...
(driver releases the media device
memory)
