Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] HID: wacom: Fix Use-After-Free in wacom_intuos_pad
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 15:08:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601140845.1237227-1-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
wacom_intuos_pad() accesses wacom->shared->touch_input locklessly inside the
interrupt handler context. If the Touch sibling device is disconnected,
wacom_remove_shared_data() clears 'touch_input' outside any lock, creating a
Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition where a preempted reader in
interrupt context dereferences the freed pointer, leading to a Use-After-Free.
Resolve this by introducing RCU protection for the touch_input pointer:
- Annotate 'touch_input' in wacom_shared struct with __rcu
- Wrap lockless readers in wacom_wac.c with rcu_read_lock() and rcu_dereference()
- Update writers in wacom_sys.c using rcu_assign_pointer()
- Call synchronize_rcu() in wacom_remove_shared_data() to ensure all active RCU
readers have finished before the input device is freed
To ensure the devres release order is correct and wacom_remove_shared_data()
completes its RCU synchronization BEFORE the input device is freed, move the
wacom_add_shared_data() call to the very end of wacom_parse_and_register().
Since devres actions are executed in LIFO order, this guarantees the shared
reference is cleared and synchronized before the input device resource is destroyed.
Also wrap wacom_set_shared_values() and touch/pen assignments in
wacom_add_shared_data() inside the wacom_udev_list_lock to serialize concurrent
probe assignments, and verify that 'shared->touch == hdev' before setting
touch_input to prevent concurrent sibling probe state desynchronization.
Fixes: 961794a00eab ("Input: wacom - add reporting of SW_MUTE_DEVICE events")
