This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled char: xillybus: fix msg_ep UAF in xillyusb_probe() to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-testing branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 15c9a359094ec6251578b02387436bc64f11a477 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ziyang Xuan <william.xuanziyang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2021 13:20:47 +0800 Subject: char: xillybus: fix msg_ep UAF in xillyusb_probe() When endpoint_alloc() return failed in xillyusb_setup_base_eps(), 'xdev->msg_ep' will be freed but not set to NULL. That lets program enter fail handling to cleanup_dev() in xillyusb_probe(). Check for 'xdev->msg_ep' is invalid in cleanup_dev() because 'xdev->msg_ep' did not set to NULL when was freed. So the UAF problem for 'xdev->msg_ep' is triggered. ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in fifo_mem_release+0x1f4/0x210 CPU: 0 PID: 166 Comm: kworker/0:2 Not tainted 5.15.0-rc5+ #19 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0xe2/0x152 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x21/0x140 ? fifo_mem_release+0x1f4/0x210 kasan_report.cold+0x7f/0x11b ? xillyusb_probe+0x530/0x700 ? fifo_mem_release+0x1f4/0x210 fifo_mem_release+0x1f4/0x210 ? __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc+0x1d/0x50 endpoint_dealloc+0x35/0x2b0 cleanup_dev+0x90/0x120 xillyusb_probe+0x59a/0x700 ...
