Subject: [PATCH net] net: usb: ipheth: fix carrier_work UAF on disconnect
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:42:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724134250.34360-1-doruk@0sec.ai> (raw)

ipheth_sndbulk_callback() re-arms the carrier-check work on any non-zero
URB status:

	else
		schedule_delayed_work(&dev->carrier_work, 0);

ipheth_disconnect() drains that work via unregister_netdev() ->
ipheth_close() -> cancel_delayed_work_sync(), and only then kills the URBs
with ipheth_kill_urbs(). usb_kill_urb() completes any in-flight TX URB
synchronously with -ENOENT, so ipheth_sndbulk_callback() runs after the
drain and re-arms carrier_work. free_netdev() then frees the netdev
whose private area embeds carrier_work, and the pending
ipheth_carrier_check_work() dereferences the freed device, a
use-after-free on unplug while a TX URB is in flight.

Drain carrier_work again after the URB source is stopped and before the
netdev is freed.

Found by 0sec (https://0sec.ai) using automated source analysis; not
runtime-reproduced.
