Subject: [PATCH] r8a66597: Fix a possible concurrency use-after-free bug in r8a66597_endpoint_disable()
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 18:00:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181218100020.26250-1-baijiaju1990@gmail.com> (raw)

The function r8a66597_endpoint_disable() and r8a66597_urb_enqueue() may
be concurrently executed.
The two functions both access a possible shared variable "hep->hcpriv".

This shared variable is freed by r8a66597_endpoint_disable() via the
call path:
r8a66597_endpoint_disable
  kfree(hep->hcpriv) (line 1995 in Linux-4.19)

This variable is read by r8a66597_urb_enqueue() via the call path:
r8a66597_urb_enqueue
  spin_lock_irqsave(&r8a66597->lock);
  init_pipe_info
    enable_r8a66597_pipe
      pipe = hep->hcpriv (line 802 in Linux-4.19)

The read operation is protected by a spinlock, but the free operation
is not protected by this spinlock, thus a concurrency use-after-free bug
may occur.

To fix this bug, the spin-lock and spin-unlock function calls in
r8a66597_endpoint_disable() are moved to protect the free operation.
