From: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 257051a235c17e33782b6e24a4b17f2d7915aaec ] When the driver fails to request the firmware, it calls its error handler. In the error handler, the driver detaches device from driver first before releasing the firmware, which can cause a use-after-free bug. Fix this by releasing firmware first. The following log reveals it: [ 9.007301 ] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mwl8k_fw_state_machine+0x320/0xba0 [ 9.010143 ] Workqueue: events request_firmware_work_func [ 9.010830 ] Call Trace: [ 9.010830 ] dump_stack_lvl+0xa8/0xd1 [ 9.010830 ] print_address_description+0x87/0x3b0 [ 9.010830 ] kasan_report+0x172/0x1c0 [ 9.010830 ] ? mutex_unlock+0xd/0x10 [ 9.010830 ] ? mwl8k_fw_state_machine+0x320/0xba0 [ 9.010830 ] ? mwl8k_fw_state_machine+0x320/0xba0 [ 9.010830 ] __asan_report_load8_noabort+0x14/0x20 [ 9.010830 ] mwl8k_fw_state_machine+0x320/0xba0 [ 9.010830 ] ? mwl8k_load_firmware+0x5f0/0x5f0 [ 9.010830 ] request_firmware_work_func+0x172/0x250 [ 9.010830 ] ? read_lock_is_recursive+0x20/0x20 [ 9.010830 ] ? process_one_work+0x7a1/0x1100 [ 9.010830 ] ? request_firmware_nowait+0x460/0x460 [ 9.010830 ] ? __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x13/0x20 [ 9.010830 ] process_one_work+0x9bb/0x1100 Signed-off-by: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1634356979-6211-1-git-send-email-zheyuma97@xxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwl8k.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwl8k.c b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwl8k.c index 27b7d4b779e0b..dc91ac8cbd48b 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwl8k.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwl8k.c @@ -5796,8 +5796,8 @@ static void mwl8k_fw_state_machine(const struct firmware *fw, void *context) fail: priv->fw_state = FW_STATE_ERROR; complete(&priv->firmware_loading_complete); - device_release_driver(&priv->pdev->dev); mwl8k_release_firmware(priv); + device_release_driver(&priv->pdev->dev); } #define MAX_RESTART_ATTEMPTS 1 -- 2.33.0
