Subject: [PATCH net 2/6] can: bcm: prevent thrtimer UAF in rx path by checking RX_NO_AUTOTIMER
Date: Thu,  7 May 2026 10:22:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507112321.439968-3-mkl@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260507112321.439968-1-mkl@pengutronix.de>

From: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>

Commit f1b4e32aca08 ("can: bcm: use call_rcu() instead of costly
synchronize_rcu()") removed the synchronize_rcu() call from
bcm_delete_rx_op() and introduced the RX_NO_AUTOTIMER flag to prevent
timers from being rearmed during deletion.  However, it only applied
this check to op->timer via bcm_rx_starttimer().

It missed the fact that op->thrtimer can also be rearmed by an
in-flight bcm_rx_handler() (which runs as an RCU reader) via
bcm_rx_update_and_send().  This allows op->thrtimer to be queued after
bcm_remove_op() has already cancelled it, leading to a use-after-free
when the timer fires on the deferred-freed struct bcm_op.

Address the omission by checking the RX_NO_AUTOTIMER flag
in bcm_rx_update_and_send() before starting op->thrtimer, effectively
preventing it from being rearmed concurrently with teardown.
