Subject: [PATCH v2] usb: misc: usbio: fix disconnect UAF in client teardown
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 20:40:29 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618124029.3704089-1-zzzccc427@gmail.com> (raw)

usbio_disconnect() walks usbio->cli_list in reverse and uninitializes each
auxiliary device. auxiliary_device_uninit() drops the device reference, and
for an unbound child that can run usbio_auxdev_release() and free the
containing struct usbio_client.

list_for_each_entry_reverse() advances after the loop body by reading
client->link.prev. If the current client is freed by
auxiliary_device_uninit(), the iterator dereferences freed memory.

Use list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse() so the previous client is
cached before the body can drop the final reference. This preserves
reverse teardown order while keeping the next iterator cursor independent
of the current client's lifetime.

Validation reproduced this kernel report:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in usbio_disconnect+0x12e/0x150

v2:
Drop the unnecessary list_del_init() per Hans de Goede; the safe reverse
iterator is sufficient.
