Subject: [PATCH v2] can: peak_usb: pcan_usb: shut down restart timer on free to avoid use-after-free
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 13:49:11 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109044911.1163505-1-hj351016@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Hyunjung Ko <hj351016@gmail.com>

pcan_usb arms pdev->restart_timer from pcan_usb_restart_pending(), the
completion of the restart-command URB submitted by pcan_usb_restart_async()
on bus-off auto-restart or a manual CAN_MODE_START. That URB is not
anchored to dev->tx_submitted/rx_submitted, so peak_usb_unlink_all_urbs()
does not kill it, and the completion can run -- re-arming the timer via
mod_timer() -- after the interface has been stopped.

pcan_usb provides no teardown for the timer, so on disconnect (or a probe
error path reaching the adap_dev_free label) peak_usb_disconnect() calls
free_candev() with the timer still live. A pending or late-armed timer
then runs pcan_usb_restart() against the freed struct pcan_usb ->
use-after-free.

Add a pcan_usb dev_free callback that calls timer_shutdown_sync() on
restart_timer. peak_usb_disconnect() invokes dev_free() after
unregister_candev() and before free_candev(), by which point the
endpoint URBs have been flushed by usb_disable_interface(). Unlike
timer_delete_sync(), timer_shutdown_sync() also prevents a late URB
completion from re-arming the timer, closing the window a plain delete
would leave open.

Not reproduced on hardware (no PEAK PCAN-USB adapter); found by review of
the restart-timer teardown path.
