Subject: [PATCH V3 06/14] i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_uevent()
Date: Tue,  4 Aug 2026 16:38:02 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804133810.184905-7-adrian.hunter@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804133810.184905-1-adrian.hunter@intel.com>

i3c_device_uevent() dereferences i3cdev->desc without holding the bus
normal-use lock.  Since the descriptor pointer can be replaced
concurrently, including when a uevent is generated from sysfs, this can
result in dereferencing a stale descriptor and lead to a use-after-free.

Use i3c_device_get_info() instead, which protects access to the
descriptor with the normal-use lock.

Commit 6cf7b65f7029 ("i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling
i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock") replaced the accessor with a
direct descriptor dereference because i3c_device_get_info() would
recursively acquire bus->lock during device registration.

This change depends on "i3c: master: Fix recursive locking during device
registration", which moves device registration out from under bus->lock
and removes the possibility of that deadlock.  Without that change,
restoring the i3c_device_get_info() call would reintroduce the deadlock.

Fixes: 6cf7b65f7029 ("i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock")
