Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] HID: wacom: Redesign shared sibling data lifecycle
Date: Mon,  1 Jun 2026 15:08:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601140845.1237227-2-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260601140845.1237227-1-lee@kernel.org>

The Wacom driver coordinates state between sibling interfaces of the same
physical device using a shared structure 'wacom_shared' inside
'wacom_hdev_data'.  The driver kept a volatile representative pointer
'data->dev' pointing to a sibling 'hid_device' for physical path comparisons
during sibling matching.

This pointer management is fragile.  When the representative device is
disconnected, wacom_remove_shared_data() failed to clear/update
'data->dev', leading to a Use-After-Free vulnerability when subsequent
sibling probes dereference the dangling 'data->dev' pointer.

Resolve this issue by redesigning the sibling data lifecycle:

 - Eliminate the volatile 'data->dev' representative pointer completely
 - Redesign 'wacom_hdev_data' to store stable static copies of the required
   attributes upon first allocation: 'phys' path string, 'vendor', 'product
   IDs and the sibling's 'device_type'
 - Use these static attributes for stable sibling matching in
   wacom_are_sibling() and wacom_get_hdev_data()

This ensures sibling matching remains safe and stable even if individual
siblings are dynamically added or removed.

To secure the lifecycle against concurrent probe/disconnect races:

- Switch kref_put() to kref_put_mutex() in wacom_remove_shared_data() to
  serialize refcount drops with list traversal and lookup
- Modify wacom_release_shared_data() to assume the list lock is already held

Also, do not accumulate the 'device_type' capability flag during subsequent
sibling probes.  Keeping only the first probed sibling's device_type exactly
preserves the original sibling matching behavior without introducing side
effects.
