Subject: [PATCH v2] input: lkkbd: disable pending work before freeing device
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2025 14:23:14 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251212052314.16139-1-ii4gsp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251211031131.27141-1-ii4gsp@gmail.com>
lkkbd_interrupt() schedules lk->tq via schedule_work(), and the work
handler lkkbd_reinit() dereferences the lkkbd structure and its
serio/input_dev fields.
lkkbd_disconnect() and error paths in lkkbd_connect() free the lkkbd
structure without preventing the reinit work from being queued again
until serio_close() returns. This can allow the work handler to run
after the structure has been freed, leading to a potential use-after-free.
Use disable_work_sync() instead of cancel_work_sync() to ensure the
reinit work cannot be re-queued, and call it both in lkkbd_disconnect()
and in lkkbd_connect() error paths after serio_open().
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
