Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] HID: wacom: Redesign shared sibling data lifecycle
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 13:13:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609121353.3743782-3-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609121353.3743782-1-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.
