In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: udc: bdc: free IRQ and drain func_wake_notify before teardown
The Broadcom BDC UDC driver registers its IRQ handler with
devm_request_irq() in bdc_udc_init(), so the IRQ is released by devm
only after bdc_remove() returns. devm releases resources in reverse
LIFO order, but bdc_remove() runs bdc_udc_exit() and bdc_hw_exit() ->
bdc_mem_free() manually before returning: bdc_udc_exit() tears down
individual endpoint objects via bdc_free_ep(), while bdc_hw_exit() ->
bdc_mem_free() frees and NULLs the DMA-coherent status-report ring
(bdc->srr.sr_bds) and kfree()s bdc->bdc_ep_array. Both happen while
the IRQ handler (bdc_udc_interrupt, requested with IRQF_SHARED)
remains deliverable in the window up to the post-remove devm
free_irq().
On receipt of a shared interrupt in that window, bdc_udc_interrupt()
dereferences bdc->srr.sr_bds[bdc->srr.dqp_index] (NULL or freed DMA)
and dispatches sr_handler callbacks that index into bdc_ep_array,
causing a NULL-deref or use-after-free.
The same window affects the delayed_work bdc->func_wake_notify, which is
armed from the IRQ handler via bdc_sr_uspc() -> handle_link_state_change()
-> schedule_delayed_work() and may self-rearm from its own callback
bdc_func_wake_timer(). No cancel exists anywhere in the driver, so a
queued work item that fires after bdc_remove() returns and the bdc
structure is devm-freed dereferences freed memory.
Replace devm_request_irq() with request_irq() and add an explicit
free_irq(bdc->irq, bdc) in bdc_remove(). Clear BDC_GIE before
free_irq() to stop the device from asserting interrupts, then
free_irq() drains any in-flight handler, then cancel_delayed_work_sync()
drains the func_wake_notify delayed work. This ordering ensures the
IRQ handler and delayed work cannot interfere with the subsequent
endpoint and DMA teardown in bdc_udc_exit() and bdc_hw_exit(). Wire the
matching free_irq() into the bdc_udc_init() error path so the IRQ is
released on probe failure, and route the bdc_init_ep() failure through
err0 instead of returning directly.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
