net: seeq: Fix use after free vulnerability in ether3 Driver Due to Race Condition
[ Upstream commit b5109b60ee4fcb2f2bb24f589575e10cc5283ad4 ]
In the ether3_probe function, a timer is initialized with a callback
function ether3_ledoff, bound to &prev(dev)->timer. Once the timer is
started, there is a risk of a race condition if the module or device
is removed, triggering the ether3_remove function to perform cleanup.
The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| ether3_ledoff
ether3_remove |
free_netdev(dev); |
put_devic |
kfree(dev); |
| ether3_outw(priv(dev)->regs.config2 |= CFG2_CTRLO, REG_CONFIG2);
| // use dev
Fix it by ensuring that the timer is canceled before proceeding with
the cleanup in ether3_remove.
