Subject: [PATCH 6.17 06/15] media: b2c2: Fix use-after-free causing by irq_check_work in flexcop_pci_remove
Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2025 18:05:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251003160400.124398651@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251003160359.831046052@linuxfoundation.org>
6.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@zju.edu.cn>
commit 01e03fb7db419d39e18d6090d4873c1bff103914 upstream.
The original code uses cancel_delayed_work() in flexcop_pci_remove(), which
does not guarantee that the delayed work item irq_check_work has fully
completed if it was already running. This leads to use-after-free scenarios
where flexcop_pci_remove() may free the flexcop_device while irq_check_work
is still active and attempts to dereference the device.
A typical race condition is illustrated below:
CPU 0 (remove) | CPU 1 (delayed work callback)
flexcop_pci_remove() | flexcop_pci_irq_check_work()
cancel_delayed_work() |
flexcop_device_kfree(fc_pci->fc_dev) |
| fc = fc_pci->fc_dev; // UAF
This is confirmed by a KASAN report:

Replace cancel_delayed_work() with cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure
that the delayed work item is properly canceled and any executing delayed
work has finished before the device memory is deallocated.
This bug was initially identified through static analysis. To reproduce
and test it, I simulated the B2C2 FlexCop PCI device in QEMU and introduced
artificial delays within the flexcop_pci_irq_check_work() function to
increase the likelihood of triggering the bug.
