Subject: [PATCH] usb: xhci: fix a possible null-pointer dereference in xhci_setup_device()
Date: Wed,  2 Oct 2024 05:45:26 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241001194526.25757-1-islituo@gmail.com> (raw)

There is a possible null-pointer dereference related to the wait-completion
synchronization mechanism in the function xhci_setup_device().

Consider the following execution scenario:

in drivers/usb/host/xhci-mem.c:
  xhci_mem_init()       // 2381
    if (!xhci->dcbaa)   // 2431  xhci->dcbaa can be NULL
    xhci_mem_cleanup()  // 2548
      xhci_cleanup_command_queue()        // 1888
in drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c
        xhci_complete_del_and_free_cmd()  // 1619
          complete(cmd->completion);      // 1608

The variable xhci->dcbaa is checked by an if statement at Line 2431. If
xhci->dcbaa is NULL, xhci_mem_cleanup() will be called at Line 2548, which
eventually leads to complete() at Line 1608 that wakes up the
wait_for_completion().

Consider the wait_for_completion() in drivers/usb/host/xhci.c
  xhci_setup_device()
    wait_for_completion(command->completion);       // 4179
    le64_to_cpu(xhci->dcbaa->dev_context_ptrs...)); // 4237

The variable xhci->dcbaa is dereferenced (without being rechecked) after 
the wait_for_completion(), which can introduce a possible null-pointer
dereference.

To address this issue, a NULL check is added to ensure the variable
xhci->dcbaa is not NULL when xhci_dbg_trace() is called.

This potential bug was discovered using an experimental static analysis
tool developed by our team. The tool deduces complete() and 
wait_for_completion() pairs using alias analysis. It then applies data
flow analysis to detect null-pointer dereferences across synchronization
points.
