The usb_gadget_register_driver can be called multi time by to threads via USB_RAW_IOCTL_RUN ioctl syscall, which will lead to multiple registrations. Call trace: driver_register+0x220/0x3a0 drivers/base/driver.c:171 usb_gadget_register_driver_owner+0xfb/0x1e0 drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c:1546 raw_ioctl_run drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/raw_gadget.c:513 [inline] raw_ioctl+0x1883/0x2730 drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/raw_gadget.c:1220 ioctl USB_RAW_IOCTL_RUN This routine allows two processes to register the same driver instance via ioctl syscall. which lead to a race condition. Please refer to the following scenarios. T1 T2 ------------------------------------------------------------------ usb_gadget_register_driver_owner driver_register driver_register driver_find driver_find bus_add_driver bus_add_driver priv alloced <context switch> drv->p = priv; <schedule out> kobject_init_and_add // refcount = 1; //couldn't find an available UDC or it's busy <context switch> priv alloced drv->priv = priv; kobject_init_and_add ---> refcount = 1 <------ // register success <context switch> ===================== another ioctl/process ====================== driver_register driver_find k = kset_find_obj() ---> refcount = 2 <------ <context out> driver_unregister // drv->p become T2's priv ---> refcount = 1 <------ <context switch> kobject_put(k) ---> refcount = 0 <------ return priv->driver; --------UAF here---------- There will be UAF in this scenario. We can fix it by adding a new STATE_DEV_REGISTERING device state to avoid double register.
