Subject: [PATCH] usb: misc: usbio: fix disconnect UAF in client teardown
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 18:46:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618104633.3405705-1-zzzccc427@gmail.com> (raw)
usbio_disconnect() walks usbio->cli_list in reverse while each
auxiliary_device_uninit() can drop the last device reference and run
usbio_auxdev_release(). If that happens, the current struct usbio_client is
freed before list_for_each_entry_reverse() advances by reading
client->link.prev.
Use list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse() and delete the list node before
uninitializing the auxiliary device. The next cursor is then captured before
the put_device() path can free the current client, and cli_list does not retain
stale nodes during teardown.
