Subject: ALSA: sh: aica: reorder cleanup operations to avoid UAF bugs
From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 051e0840ffa8ab25554d6b14b62c9ab9e4901457 upstream.
The dreamcastcard->timer could schedule the spu_dma_work and the
spu_dma_work could also arm the dreamcastcard->timer.
When the snd_pcm_substream is closing, the aica_channel will be
deallocated. But it could still be dereferenced in the worker
thread. The reason is that del_timer() will return directly
regardless of whether the timer handler is running or not and
the worker could be rescheduled in the timer handler. As a result,
the UAF bug will happen. The racy situation is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
snd_aicapcm_pcm_close() |
... | run_spu_dma() //worker
| mod_timer()
flush_work() |
del_timer() | aica_period_elapsed() //timer
kfree(dreamcastcard->channel) | schedule_work()
| run_spu_dma() //worker
... | dreamcastcard->channel-> //USE
In order to mitigate this bug and other possible corner cases,
call mod_timer() conditionally in run_spu_dma(), then implement
PCM sync_stop op to cancel both the timer and worker. The sync_stop
op will be called from PCM core appropriately when needed.
