net: usb: lan78xx: reorder cleanup operations to avoid UAF bugs
The timer dev->stat_monitor can schedule the delayed work dev->wq and the delayed work dev->wq can also arm the dev->stat_monitor timer. When the device is detaching, the net_device will be deallocated. but the net_device private data could still be dereferenced in delayed work or timer handler. As a result, the UAF bugs will happen. One racy situation is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) lan78xx_stat_monitor() | ... | lan78xx_disconnect() lan78xx_defer_kevent() | ... ... | cancel_delayed_work_sync(&dev->wq); schedule_delayed_work() | ... (wait some time) | free_netdev(net); //free net_device lan78xx_delayedwork() | //use net_device private data | dev-> //use | Although we use cancel_delayed_work_sync() to cancel the delayed work in lan78xx_disconnect(), it could still be scheduled in timer handler lan78xx_stat_monitor(). Another racy situation is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) lan78xx_delayedwork | mod_timer() | lan78xx_disconnect() | cancel_delayed_work_sync() (wait some time) | if (timer_pending(&dev->stat_monitor)) | del_timer_sync(&dev->stat_monitor); lan78xx_stat_monitor() | ... lan78xx_defer_kevent() | free_netdev(net); //free //use net_device private data| dev-> //use | Although we use del_timer_sync() to delete the timer, the function timer_pending() returns 0 when the timer is activated. As a result, the del_timer_sync() will not be executed and the timer could be re-armed. In order to mitigate this bug, We use timer_shutdown_sync() to shutdown the timer and then use cancel_delayed_work_sync() to cancel the delayed work. As a result, the net_device could be deallocated safely. What's more, the dev->flags is set to EVENT_DEV_DISCONNECT in lan78xx_disconnect(). But it could still be set to EVENT_STAT_UPDATE in lan78xx_stat_monitor(). So this patch put the set_bit() behind timer_shutdown_sync().
