This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: netup_unidvb: fix use-after-free at del_timer() to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: media-netup_unidvb-fix-use-after-free-at-del_timer.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4b6cb554231a73ceb9597804133b01163b1b596b Author: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 8 12:55:14 2023 +0000 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().
