Subject: [PATCH v5 1/3] Input: applespi - cancel pending work on driver remove
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 21:11:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260711131140.18777-2-fourdollars@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260711131140.18777-1-fourdollars@debian.org>
During driver removal in applespi_remove(), the managed private data
structure is freed by devres. However, the driver does not cancel the
asynchronous work applespi->work, which registers the touchpad input
device.
This creates a use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability if a pending or
running worker thread attempts to access the private data after the
remove function returns.
Fix this by explicitly calling cancel_work_sync(&applespi->work) in
applespi_remove() before cleanups.
