[PATCH] Input: synaptics-rmi4 - fix use after free (more completely)

[PATCH] Input: synaptics-rmi4 - fix use after free (more completely)

[Dan Carpenter]

From: Brad Spengler <spender@grsecurity.net>

Grsecurity uses memory poisoning and detected a use after free in
rmi_unregister_function().   A fix for this was merged into the
grsecurity patchset.  I detected the user after free later using static
analysis and sent a partial fix as commit eb988e46da2e ("Input:
synaptics-rmi4 - fix use after free in rmi_unregister_function()").
However, my patch meant that the grsecurity patchset didn't apply cleanly
and forced everyone to re-visit this issue.

The bug is that we must not call device_del() until after calling
irq_dispose_mapping().

Fixes: 24d28e4f1271 ("Input: synaptics-rmi4 - convert irq distribution to irq_domain")

Indeed. We even noticed that your patch was incomplete back then but
urgent matters kept us from following-up. Then came holidays and this
simply went forgotten :(

Unfortunately, this is only half the truth. We investigated this further
and there's another bug that got introduced in commit 24d28e4f1271
("Input: synaptics-rmi4 - convert irq distribution to irq_domain"). The
IRQ domain has a UAF issue as well. I'll send the patch soon -- wanted
to do so this week, but, again, more urgent matters interrupted this.

Unfortunately, I send that Email too fast. Looking at the backtrace
again, it's just the other bug that needs fixing (a UAF in
rmi_driver_remove()). Will sent a patch really soon now!

So, forget about that one, sorry.

Right, I do not think this patch is needed. The "fn" will stay in memory
until the last reference to fn->dev is dropped. So the original patch
was enough for this particular issue, and Mathias' patch fixes slightly
different UAF.

Thanks.
