[ Upstream commit 29b0589a865b6f66d141d79b2dd1373e4e50fe17 ] When the ene device is detaching, function ene_remove() will be called. But there is no function to cancel tx_sim_timer in ene_remove(), the timer handler ene_tx_irqsim() could race with ene_remove(). As a result, the UAF bugs could happen, the process is shown below. (cleanup routine) | (timer routine) | mod_timer(&dev->tx_sim_timer, ..) ene_remove() | (wait a time) | ene_tx_irqsim() | dev->hw_lock //USE | ene_tx_sample(dev) //USE Fix by adding del_timer_sync(&dev->tx_sim_timer) in ene_remove(), The tx_sim_timer could stop before ene device is deallocated. What's more, The rc_unregister_device() and del_timer_sync() should be called first in ene_remove() and the deallocated functions such as free_irq(), release_region() and so on should be called behind them. Because the rc_unregister_device() is well synchronized. Otherwise, race conditions may happen. The situations that may lead to race conditions are shown below. Firstly, the rx receiver is disabled with ene_rx_disable() before rc_unregister_device() in ene_remove(), which means it can be enabled again if a process opens /dev/lirc0 between ene_rx_disable() and rc_unregister_device(). Secondly, the irqaction descriptor is freed by free_irq() before the rc device is unregistered, which means irqaction descriptor may be accessed again after it is deallocated. Thirdly, the timer can call ene_tx_sample() that can write to the io ports, which means the io ports could be accessed again after they are deallocated by release_region(). Therefore, the rc_unregister_device() and del_timer_sync() should be called first in ene_remove().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
