Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] wifi: libertas_tf: fix use-after-free in lbtf_free_adapter()
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 19:34:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727233431.2424901-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072009-saddlebag-problem-d820@gregkh>
From: Maoyi Xie <maoyixie.tju@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit aa6dcd5c8dd9ba1d7d0f60093bcda41c0d6d438d ]
lbtf_free_adapter() calls timer_delete(&priv->command_timer), which does
not wait for a running command_timer_fn() callback. lbtf_free_adapter()
runs on the teardown path right before ieee80211_free_hw() frees priv,
both in lbtf_remove_card() and in the probe error path. command_timer is
armed by mod_timer() in lbtf_cmd() whenever a firmware command is sent.
command_timer_fn() dereferences priv. If a command times out as the
device is removed, command_timer_fn() runs concurrently with teardown and
dereferences priv after it has been freed.
This is the same use-after-free that commit 03cc8f90d053 ("wifi: libertas:
fix use-after-free in lbs_free_adapter()") fixed in the sibling libertas
driver. The libertas_tf variant has the identical pattern and was left
unchanged. Use timer_delete_sync() so any in-flight callback completes
before priv is freed.
Fixes: 06b16ae53192 ("libertas_tf: main.c, data paths and mac80211 handlers")
