Subject: rapidio: mport_cdev: fix use-after-free in mport_mm_close()
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 13:23:27 +0900
A use-after-free vulnerability was identified in mport_mm_close() in
drivers/rapidio/devices/rio_mport_cdev.c, identical to the pattern
previously addressed in dma_req_free().
This is observable from userspace when an application creates an mmap
mapping via the RapidIO character device and subsequently unmaps it (or
terminates, triggering exit_mmap()). During munmap, mport_mm_close() is
invoked and drops the mapping reference via kref_put().
If kref_put() drops the last reference, mport_release_mapping() is called,
which frees the underlying rio_mport_mapping structure. The subsequent
mutex_unlock() then dereferences map->md to unlock buf_mutex, leading to a
use-after-free:
mport_mm_close()
-> mutex_lock(&map->md->buf_mutex);
...
-> kref_put(&map->ref, mport_release_mapping); /* map is freed */
-> mutex_unlock(&map->md->buf_mutex); /* UAF: map used */
Fix this by caching map->md before kref_put() and using the cached pointer
for mutex unlocking, ensuring that freed memory is not accessed.
