media: netup_unidvb: fix use-after-free at del_timer()
[ Upstream commit 0f5bb36bf9b39a2a96e730bf4455095b50713f63 ]
When Universal DVB card is detaching, netup_unidvb_dma_fini()
uses del_timer() to stop dma->timeout timer. But when timer
handler netup_unidvb_dma_timeout() is running, del_timer()
could not stop it. As a result, the use-after-free bug could
happen. The process is shown below:
(cleanup routine) | (timer routine)
| mod_timer(&dev->tx_sim_timer, ..)
netup_unidvb_finidev() | (wait a time)
netup_unidvb_dma_fini() | netup_unidvb_dma_timeout()
del_timer(&dma->timeout); |
| ndev->pci_dev->dev //USE
Fix by changing del_timer() to del_timer_sync().
