ntb: ntb_hw_switchtec: Fix use after free vulnerability in switchtec_ntb_remove due to race condition

Browse source

[ Upstream commit e51aded92d ]

In the switchtec_ntb_add function, it can call switchtec_ntb_init_sndev
function, then &sndev->check_link_status_work is bound with
check_link_status_work. switchtec_ntb_link_notification may be called
to start the work.

If we remove the module which will call switchtec_ntb_remove to make
cleanup, it will free sndev through kfree(sndev), while the work
mentioned above will be used. The sequence of operations that may lead
to a UAF bug is as follows:

CPU0                                 CPU1

                        | check_link_status_work
switchtec_ntb_remove    |
kfree(sndev);           |
                        | if (sndev->link_force_down)
                        | // use sndev

Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with
the cleanup in switchtec_ntb_remove.
