Subject: [PATCH] usb: atm: cxacru: fix use-after-free in cxacru_poll_status
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 18:17:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803101716.2592486-1-khiemtranzo532001@gmail.com> (raw)
In cxacru_unbind(), cancel_delayed_work_sync() was conditionally skipped
when poll_state was CXPOLL_STOPPED. However, a work item previously
scheduled when poll_state was CXPOLL_POLLING may still be pending in the
workqueue at the time poll_state transitions to CXPOLL_STOPPED. Skipping
cancel_delayed_work_sync() in this case allows the work to fire after
cxacru_data is freed, causing a use-after-free when cxacru_poll_status()
attempts to acquire instance->poll_state_serialize.
Fix this by always calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() regardless of
poll_state, ensuring no pending or in-flight work can access the freed
instance.
