From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 3f4093e2bf4673f218c0bf17d8362337c400e77b upstream. There are use-after-free bugs caused by tst_timer. The root cause is that there are no functions to stop tst_timer in idt77252_exit(). One of the possible race conditions is shown below: (thread 1) | (thread 2) | idt77252_init_one | init_card | fill_tst | mod_timer(&card->tst_timer, ...) idt77252_exit | (wait a time) | tst_timer | | ... kfree(card) // FREE | | card->soft_tst[e] // USE The idt77252_dev is deallocated in idt77252_exit() and used in timer handler. This patch adds del_timer_sync() in idt77252_exit() in order that the timer handler could be stopped before the idt77252_dev is deallocated.
