[PATCH 5.10] watchdog: cpu5wdt.c: Fix use-after-free bug caused by cpu5wdt_trigger

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 573601521277119f2e2ba5f28ae6e87fc594f4d4 upstream.

When the cpu5wdt module is removing, the origin code uses del_timer() to
de-activate the timer. If the timer handler is running, del_timer() could
not stop it and will return directly. If the port region is released by
release_region() and then the timer handler cpu5wdt_trigger() calls outb()
to write into the region that is released, the use-after-free bug will
happen.

Change del_timer() to timer_shutdown_sync() in order that the timer handler
could be finished before the port region is released.

Fixes: e09d9c3e9f85 ("watchdog: cpu5wdt.c: add missing del_timer call")

CVE: CVE-2024-38630

[Zhe: The function timer_shutdown_sync in the original fix is not
introduced to 5.10 yet. As stated in f571faf6e443b6011ccb585d57866177af1f643c
"timer_shutdown_sync() has the same functionality as timer_delete_sync()
plus the NULL-ification of the timer function." So timer_delete_sync is
enough for this case.]
