Subject: KVM: x86: Cancel pvclock_gtod_work on module removal
Date: Wed, 05 May 2021 23:48:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87czu4onry.ffs@nanos.tec.linutronix.de> (raw)

Nothing prevents the following:

  pvclock_gtod_notify()
    queue_work(system_long_wq, &pvclock_gtod_work);
  ...
  remove_module(kvm);
  ...
  work_queue_run()
    pvclock_gtod_work()	<- UAF

Ditto for any other operation on that workqueue list head which touches
pvclock_gtod_work after module removal.

Cancel the work in kvm_arch_exit() to prevent that.

Fixes: 16e8d74d2da9 ("KVM: x86: notifier for clocksource changes")

TL;DR: Scheduling work with tk_core.seq write held is a bad idea.
